I'm the office Car Guy, so I've run into a lot. I have pointed out there isn't a car made today, from the humblest Korean import to the mightiest F1 racer, that won't slow down and stop if you stand on the brakes. But I'm not sure I am convincing many.

The whole thing *has* caused me to start watching Toyota stock more closely. I think about two weeks after the last late night joke might be an opportunity to get some cheap.

I care about the environment and I want to get a hybrid vs. a luxury sedan/coupe but there is an "image" I have to portray. What would you think if your advisor had a hybrid?

It's way too light for winter months. I will sit on a patch of ice and spin out like I'm stuck in a snow bank just because my car isn't heavy enough to get grip. It's rediculous.

Erik Sua For those of you in areas with snow, its past time for winter prep for your cars! Time to put a good coat of wax on, check your coolant, replace your wipers, and consider picking up some snow tires!

Tarik Scott: Yes it is. Unless you live in Mid-Michigan, which hasn't gotten any snow yet.
