Whenever you get pulled over for any reason they take some sort of identification and go back to their cars. Yet it seems to take 5-10 minutes every time. I was just wondering what exactly they were doing.

oriolesfan2323 asked:

Take the following into consideration….
How are you going to legislate this in a free country addicted to cars? Also can the auto manufacturers actually build that many hybrids? Also hybrids require large battery cells, what about their disposal later? Also, not every hybrid does a good job on gas mileage?

I’m an audiophile and I’m wondering which cars/trucks would have interiors that were most conductive to containing audiophile (extemely high quality) sound. I’m aware that a good car stereo can do wonders but which car am I going to put one of those stereos in?

Why don’t cars technologically advance at the rate that computers do, when car demand is higher?

Brianman3 asked:

I see on Discovery now and then what the future of cars will bring, but I’ve been seeing them for years and the only changes in cars I see are gadgets (like voice activated phones, and auto start). Seems like cars by now (with 100 years of studying technology) could be and should be smaller, lighter, and much more efficient in accordance with energy/miles/speed. What is holding it back?
Oh, and cheaper, too. They should be getting cheaper and cheaper.
