gas is getting so expensive that i just drive the prius

Astrosfan · 03-31-2011, 04:36 PM

I was wondering about fuel consumption too. Personally, i would think it would matter that much, but then again, i dont know Sh3t.

I've been driving a manual for about 15 years and the SRM is a very nice feature. It makes driving more fun and less taxing in traffic. Nissan did a very good job with this. I would even go as far to say this would be a good first manual car for someone, as long as they respect the power of the beast.

I don't think this is what people mean when they say "engine braking." Typically, engine braking happens whenever you are in gear and not touching the gas. Put it in first and gun it to about 6000 rpm, then let off the gas completely. You will feel the engine braking without downshifting as you described.

See for yourself: Engine braking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sorry, couldn't resist.

YES: that is all

Yeah, the certificate of live birth and archived birth announcement are clearly all part of an amazing conspiracy.

Honestly, probably to avoid the potential negative backlash of another Rwanda situation...

Glad you are safe in Nebraska instead of in Iraq.

Oh god, another one of those loud and annoying righty.

It least i'm not loving a guy that openly admits to hating the country that stupidly voted him in. I believe all politicians are in it for them selves, and don't give a crap about the people. Case in point the obamacare, over 70% of the country's population didn't want it but it's there anyway.
