That's, uh, kind of the point of having a smart car, this is extremely common in european cities. There was probably a different car parked where the black opel or whatever is in front there when the smart car arrived.

Counterpoint: US drivers will likely be texting and hit the car anyhow, even with the wider roads since driver training in the US primarily consists of "Can you find the DMV? Yes? Here's a license"

Landau tops are meant to replicate the look of chauffeur-driven cars from the days when your filthy Irish communist driver didn't DESERVE a roof over his head, but the lords & ladies in the back did. But then they suddenly realized that Tom was getting all tanned and enjoying motoring in the fresh air, the daring-do of which combined nicely with his new bronzed complexion and led to a newfound gain of self-confidence, and he started dating their youngest daughter. One thing led to another. So they flipped the arrangement around, but with the need to be able to put the top up in back in case it started raining.  It's a style that persisted through the "Fashionable Despot of the 70's" era of automotive history and had mostly died out, but then  Jay Z happened.

Someone probably bought a set of RIMZZZ from a model of car that had the same bolt pattern but the wrong offset (and cheap rimz = why not get the narrowest possible tires considering they sell rubber by the mm). Altima wheels probably "fit" on G37's if you're a dumbass. At least that's always what I think when I see someone with non-stock wheels that sit 2-3" inside their fenders.

What's this? Is someone driving a F40 in traffic on the 101? No, it's a non-twin turbo 300zx  And the plate matches this one. http://www.oddimotive.com/2014/01/at-least-its-not-fiero-300zx-f40-kit-car.html

Modern DCTs allow you to be in exactly the gear you want to be in with millisecond-speed gearchanges, and have the added benefit of preventing you from money-shifting (because you are not a race driver). If it takes you more than 3 attempts to learn how to drive any stick at any point in your driving career, you took too many tries. It's really not very hard and 85% of the world's driving population has never driven anything other than standard transmission.

My '08 3-series (the V8 one) has a programmable timer that will crack the windows and pull in fresh air through the blower to get hot air out and then put the windows back up when it's done. It recommends only using it once per day to avoid draining the battery but it's pretty handy to have it do that 5 minutes before coming back out to a hot car after work, on the occasion I have to park on the roof.

It's not like you're going to live through flipping a Miata if you're taller than 4'3 anyway, so what's it really matter? That poo poo was just dead weight, who needs their cars tied together on both sides anyway when the wife (who is so vain about her hair but not so vain to get in...that...) is getting too tousled in your roofless sports automobile?

A guy I know has one in his car and he has to stop drinking at like 9pm every night because he has to leave for work at 7am and even though he's not even feeling buzzed at 10pm the .004 or whatever residuals in the morning are enough to not allow him to start his car. Clearly the solution to people with alcohol problems is to make them lose their jobs because they had 3 beers the night before.

Is an Audi S4 really a special snowflake of a car? Or is it not unreasonable to assume a car maintenance routine does not involve "Cut until you find the part you want to monkey with" regardless of whether your car is an Audi or a Chevy?

When I was in high school a teacher at my school was killed when an oncoming truck hit a deer that smashed through her car's windshield on a 4 lane, divided highway. Pretty bad luck, there.

nm posted:From the website: http://www.kmcwheels.com/wheels/4571/rockstar an actual, live human being wrote some other words that were grown up and professional sounding. Then the owner of Rockstar: The Company decided that graphic design and content writing is pretty easy, they've seen tons of internet websites, and the word "E" is in their title, so... then that actual, live human being, sighing heavily, wrote some horrible nonsense but refused to include the grammatical error that the newly self-appointed Creative Director suggested in the one line uncapitalized/unpunctuated email they'd sent from their iphone from the bar, and submitted something else that was close in spirit but worked a little better while still having the relative terrible gist that was requested, but utilizing actual English. That effort was rejected, the actual live human being was admonished (again, in one line with no punctuation or capitalization), and the previously agreed-upon 'approved' copy was then inserted into the mock. The front end dev who has never worked in advertising or merchandising but still knows dogshit from quality said "Hahahahahaha. Whatever" and posted it.

The flip side of this.. not-passive-aggressive display of sidewalk chalk ownership is that your amateur lanemarkings have just okayed everyone else to start parking in that slot like that. Nice work.

That's a weird leap to make over me observing that people will now start parking in those new slots now that they've been made officially sanctioned by existing, but no, I don't even really know what that means.
