Im all for environmentally friendly cars. Or as environmentally friendly as one can get.

Nutter is quite hippie-ish at heart. Don't think for a second we couldn't all be driving electric or hydrogen cars that would have power and realistic run time.

Oil and gas companies ensure we don't.

I was going to work today, and the guy in front on me was totally not breaking the law. Followed the posted speed limits, stopped at stop signs and red lights, used his turn signal when appropriate.

What an bumhole! Totally ruined my morning.

Prius has tons of head and leg room. Couldn't disagree more.

Of course there's no power but plenty of acceleration. You shouldn't buy one if you're going off road or pulling a trailer.

How tall are you? The only thing I don't like about my Civic is minimal head room. Works as a hair cut barometer though

Yes, yes, yes!!!
I've heard so many old time players say this and it's 100% true. Even when I played as a kid in the 70s and early 80s, the pads were soft. Someone threw an elbow at you, ya got mad, but at least you didn't get concussed!

These days, they're not only bigger and faster than ever but they are also wearing suits of (frank)ing armor.

So true also get rid of the high tech sticks that allow 100mph slapshots by these guys.

It puts the a view down the side of the car from the passenger mirror covering the lane to your right when your turn signal is on where the back up camera displays when in reverse.

oh like a side mirror?

I love the car otherwise, but for Winnipeg - it's not a smart buy. I got a new mid trim Mazda 3 hatch last year. Other than being notoriously bad in cold weather I like Mazda's. Just need to plug them in earlier than most other cars I noticed.

Got a battery keeper installed that helps a lot.

Love, love, love my Mazda. I've had an MX-6, RX-8, and a Mazda 6. Loved them all for different reasons.

I think what is also tough is that guys are shooting pucks at record speeds. Guys are bigger and faster.

Bobby Hull and Boom Boom Geoffrion could bring it as well as anyone today (maybe not Chara), and that was back on the days when players didn't wear head protection. I think they could do it.

Mirror still has blind spots at times. This is also easier to look at since it's displayed in the dash. Shorter glance to it than looking at the mirror. I've seen cars that the mirror didn't show on 95 at rush hour.

Economy lol. Such a magical word that really means nothing.

Don't think we are far off from old medieval times. Instead of nobility and lords we just have CEO's and 'corporations'.

Government IS big business, and that's the problem. End rant.

worst tank ever

I only kid. I do think that and the blind spot detection can be helpful. I also do know that a lot of people dont know how to set up their side mirrors

I'm not tall but my son is 6'3" and my one friend is 6'6". 6'6" is a pretty big guy. He can get comfortable though no problem.

It is a lot more than that man. The entire infrastructure. It will happen when people can make a profit on it

In 1998 a German company developed a paint that when applied acts as a solar panel. It effectively powers a car with no fuel for the life of the battery (about 10 yrs). I believe BMW purchased the license from the company and that was the end of that.

Yeah, that's not a problem but I get what you're saying.

Now, on the other hand, they guy who decided to fly up behind me and ride my ass for 4 miles even though I was doing 15 MPH over the speed limit, that guy is a responsible, safe driver.

Obeying the law is for fruits.
