  9. Re:Partially right... on Efficiency? Think Racing Cars, Not Hybrids · · Score: 0

    It is easier in some cases to make a left turn onto a busy street when you can see over vehicles that are parked too close to the corner. Same thing for seeing that pedestrian trying to cross the street - it's easier to spot that person in the case where there is a vehicle that is blocking your view and you can see over it... Easier to spot your vehicle in a crowded parking lot too maybe...?

  25. Re:Live frugally first! on Investing Tips for College Students? · · Score: 0

    The first part may only applies to Canadians, but there might be some equal way to do this for non - Canadians... In the years before attending college, if possible, invest in an RRSPs partially in dividend paying funds and partially in money market funds. When you do get the tax refund and GST rebate, send it straight to a ING Direct (http://www.ingdirect.ca) account. When attending college, draw from these funds as needed. As for living frugally, go without driving - cycle if possible as it would save on parking, maintenance, insurance, gas and give you daily exercise.
