Google's driverless car.

Absolutely incredible. My robotics professor in college had been working on one for most of her professional career and she thought we were decades away. And yet, here it is.

Thinking back, most of the posting on here about cars seems to be driving and new car related, and less about repair and technical understanding. I, for one, have a less than thorough grasp of the workings of a modern car.

Scrabbled Comps #9: Car Talk

I listen to a lot of Car Talk and I’m always impressed by the wide array of filler songs they manage to find solely about cars and driving. So let’s see how well we can do. Suggest and upload your favorite songs about cars, driving, and the open road.

Let’s do better than last week, eh?

New vs. Used

I have a little situation. The question is should I buy a new car or a used car? I know there are pros and cons for each.

I just test drove a smart car

It was awesome. I’m a little sad about the lack of stick shift, but the paddle shift was kinda cool. I dunno. I feel like test drives are never enough time to get a feel for a car.

Does the Prius Lie about its MPG?

Wishing for $6 gas

I pose a few questions for discussion: How high do gas prices get before there’s a massive sell-off of SUVs and large cars? Will the American roads look more like European roads (lots and lots of compact cars, a few sedans, rarely anything larger) within our lifetimes? Will you be able to adjust to eating more seasonal foods (e.g., not getting tomatoes year-round)? If the answers are “something soon like $6 a gallon,” “yes,” and “sure,” respectively, is the rising cost in gasoline a good thing?

Why can't I buy a compact diesel car?

It’s not fair. Edmonds only has 6 cars under $25k and they’re all minivans and trucks.

Wisdom

The Bible contains legendary, historical and ethical contents. It is quite possible to consider them separately, and one doesn’t have to accept the legends in order to get the ethics. Fundamentalists make a grave mistake to insist on the letter of the writings, because they drive away many who can’t swallow the Adam-and-Eve bit.
