We bought the Kymco 15 years ago to take on the back of our class-A RV instead of towing a car. We went with a 50cc scooter because Maryland had just changed laws so that a licensing, registration, and insurance were not necessary. A few years ago, they changed it so that you need a...

It doesn't even have to be bigger than a scooter. I have a Kymco People 50 scooter (49cc). It cost about $2300 and gets around 50 MPG. Been my a 2-stroke, I bet it puts out more pollution than an Elio, too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, no... There are TEN types of people: Those who understand binary, and those who don't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Another issue with a spare tire is that they tend to be neglected. People often don't check the pressure -- back before we were married, my wife-to-be was going on a trip, and when I checked her spare, it was completely flat. And they don't tend to get replaced when it is needed -- most modern...

Actually, paper products use a lot of energy and water to make. This is why, oddly enough, bidets are so popular in Japan -- washing your butt with water uses less water than using toilet paper! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What does not 'doing it on the road' have to do with avoiding red necks with guns? They're everywhere. [post edited due to forum rules]

90 pounds? A lightweight! Our first color laser was an HP 4500. It cranked out 4 PPM and weighed 112 pounds. It came with just a parallel printer port, which sometimes took 20 minutes to receive a print job. We upgraded it to a LAN port for about $300. I think the printer itself was...

They're probably just expecting someone to be kinder. If someone is obviously not going to let me change lanes just because they have butt hurt, it makes me REALLY want to piss them off. And I do. Sometimes I love being me.

I've noticed that most people (my wife included) adjust the side mirrors so that 50% of the view of the side of the car, and the other 50% is showing what you already see in the rear view mirror. In other words, there is no useful information shown in the side view mirrors. Yes, I understand...

The Elio is a three-wheeled motorcycle just like my Abarth is a four-wheeled motorcycle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sitting far back can have its problems. You may not have the same level of steering wheel control in an emergency situation, and you might've too far back to fully depress the brake pedal -- one of the reasons we have brake assist on most newer cars, and automated braking on a few. While...

Oh! You're from Texas. I guess their education system will catch up to Maryland's some day.

No, that would be insane, considering the number of lives airbags have saved. Your comment reminds me of a real mouth breather I used to work with. He had a special note on his license which allowed him to drive without a seatbelt. I found out it was because his father died in a car fire...

Airbags used to have an expiration date. Even my 1998 Benz had one. So did my '84 Benz. It didn't seem to bother people.

Apparently, multiple notices were sent out for that particular car. I imagine there are a lot of folks out there who are ignoring recall notices on any number of vehicles for any number of reasons. I imagine I'd feel pretty f-ing bad if I ignored a safety recall and then one of my kids died in...

Nothing has changed. It's an automated version of the manual transmission. It will clutch and shift using actuators on the transmission. This sort of transmission is more popular with smaller cars overseas. The only car I know of that has this type (but not the exact one) in the U.S. is the...

Bringing the top forward may negate the reason most people want a retractable top -- so they can see some sky! When the top is all the way back on my Abarth, you have almost no view out the back. Being somewhat tall, I can see the roof of the car behind me... Unless it is a Lamborghini. They...

That's me.

Hey, kinda looks like my driveway!
