Re: Let's talk about cars

There's a joke in California about people who blow their horns in heavy traffic. "They must be from New York" Driving in New York cannot be easy and a challenge for the average driver just as...

Re: Let's talk about cars

If OC means Orange County, from my knowledge the streets are two lanes each way. Why would anyone driving on a such a street feel the necessity to cross a solid line (Yellow)? Are you driving...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I would be interested to know where in California you've driven and for how long a period. I drive 15 miles each way on the same freeway each day and have done so for over 10 years. I've never yet...

Re: Let's talk about cars

To claim that the standard of driving in one country is superior to that of another makes little sense. Much of how a driver behaves behind the wheel is based on temperament and attitude and no...

Re: Let's talk about cars

Considering the density and the amount of traffic on the average So Cal freeway I think drivers are remarkably patient and self controlled. Compare to New York where leaning on the car horn is...

Re: Let's talk about cars

You can pass on the right lane in California. Large trailer trucks are confined to the slow lane or the lane next to it. Truck drivers understandably prefer to use that lane to avoid having to slow...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I've seen one or two senior drivers in Florida with oxygen tanks. Another thing is the absence of consideration by the drivers towards pedestrians even on crosswalks.

The test in California is...

Re: Let's talk about cars

For the very most part yes. Lane changing on a dense but fast moving freeway without care and attention can be very hazardous to health

Re: Let's talk about cars

Living in California I disagree. Despite the congestion drivers here are surprisingly considerate. On the other hand from what I've seen of drivers in Florida I agree. Too many drivers who moved...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I remember the old Crossleys and Daimlers chugging up Chapeltown hill to pick us up from school, clouds of diesel smoke everywhere. On Mondays you could still smell the booze fumes from the...

Re: Let's talk about cars

The Continuous Variable Transmission which I have on my 2015 Honda Accord has spoiled me for anything else.

On our LA stop start freeways I would have to be a masochist to ever consider a manual...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I have never ever bought an extended warranty nor an anti-theft system or that other rip off the "special upholstery treatment against spills or stains"

This is how they all screw you into paying...

Re: Let's talk about cars

I would have to wonder at the mind set of anyone who habitually has to drive in big city traffic wanting a car with a manual transmission

Re: Let's talk about cars

You can pick up a used one cheap in the UK. Not many buyers. Use too much petrol in a country where petrol prices are very high

Re: Let's talk about cars

There was a Pontiac Astra in the 1970s which was the twin of the Chevy Vega. Awful cars both of them. The Vega I bought was the first one I owned in the US. It had an aluminum block engine and was...
