I guess they must have missed the part about how the accelerator and brake are both part of an interactive driving experience

What! They make cars with brakes now! How much is that extra? I bet you they just have them so they can charge for replacing brake fluid, or brake pads, or some other made up thing to scam rubes with!


Sorry, maybe it's because it's late, but I always wonder about how someone can be so....uh, well finishing that would probably get me banned.

I suppose telling people that it's the driver, not the car falls on equally deaf ears on why they're not getting good MPGs, and trying to educate them otherwise is seen as a hostile action.

One of the nice things about GH is that despite the fact that we come from just about every different background out there, and drive radically different vehicles, we all seem to get along really well here. (At least in my limited experience)

And seriously, what's up with Edmunds? I swear everything about them is driven to some set of values a handful of people have determined beforehand, and not to do with any real world information! (Not just hybrids either.)
