    yes I would have thought the gender bias was more males less females. But then 3 out of my 5 elementary school teachers were men so I guess I live in a weird part of the country?

  3. Re:Nissan Dealers Hate the LEAF on Why Nissan Is Talking To Tesla Model S Owners · · Score: 1

    Two things, 1. We drive more, so transmission and other non motor oil fluids have to be replaced more often then in places were they drive less. 2. Dealers and quick lube places have really pushed the "3,000" mile oil change, and even most mechanics think its needed (but they cant explain why), its only been in the last 5 or so years were new cars have longer stated oil change intervals in there manuals. My wife's legacy's manual states ever 7,500 miles but the dealer and the quick lube places always insist that it should still be done ever 3,000. I would like to know what the oil change interval for a 2012 legacy is in Europe or Japan, I bet it is much longer then 7,500 miles.

    It seems to be chemistry that you are missing. If you add more oxygen i.e. denser air, you need to add more fuel to keep the air fuel ratio the same. back of the napkin calculations say you ad about 1.5% more power and 1.5% more fuel usage for ever 10 degree drop in temperature, so if we say 75 degrees F in summer and 0 degrees F in winter we can expect about 11.25% more power from the engine and 11.25% more fuel consumption.

    on that note maybe what the industry needs to do is win F1 or WRC or 24h Le Mans with a self driving car? obviously not the only thing they need to do but it would go a long way in reassuring people about the potential.

  15. Re:Let me help you understand those figures on Open Source Mapping Software Shows Every Traffic Death On Earth · · Score: 1

    I had to take mine last year because I moved to a new state. I agree some of the questions are arbitrary. "how close does an on coming car have to be before you have to dim your headlights" a: 900 ft b:"1000 ft c:1100 ft d:1200 ft This is irrelevant to actually driving. in the dark can you tell how far away the oncoming lights are to within 100ft... I cant, but I know when to dim my lights when I'm driving. I would be fine with stricter tests, but they cant just be about memorization of facts. Maybe situational questions of some kind would be better.

    if your ok with calling it a Civil Union why not be ok with calling it Marriage? If its the exact same thing why have a different name for it? Why is it up to me to disprove your argument when the logic behind it is flawed? Your argument is flawed, if they were the same we would call them the same thing. The people who don't want the word Marriage to be used that way have a reason, this reason is bigoted. They are trying to use the difference in words as a tool of oppression, and to further there own agenda. This is wrong.
