Can u tell me something about automobiles in america?

Question:
i have to make a presentation... plz gimme some facts...

Answers:

does anyone know why the traffic is backed up in clarksburg, wv?

That's a very general question. Americans prefer larger cars with big motors. Trucks have a better resale than cars and hold there value better. With the higher gas prices the really large SUV's aren't as popular as they were a few years ago. People here complain about the high fuel prices but they haven't changed there diving habits much if any. If you would like you can contact me with some more specific questions.

These are cool, but I can’t wait to see the R56 in some other colors.

Were freeways in the US built on similar lines as The Autobahn in Germany?

GZ Oct 31st, 2006 Link
Amen! Enough with the blue! Already saw red so bring on other colors!! Interior looks good. I hope auxiliary gages are still an option. It was always a favorite of mine since I first saw the red 40th aniversary model(04′).

I’m sorry, but it’s still buggin’ me . . . why oh why did they have to make the wheel arch trim pieces so much fatter?

Does anyone know what year the borough of Queens N.Y.changed from street names to numbered streets?

Why no one in city of London challenges the proposed charges by the Mayor of London.?

Because the hood was raised (due to new pedestrian crash laws) and the belt-line is substancially higher as a result. Without the change the trim and the wheels would have looked insubstancial compared to the mucher taller hood and beltline. The proportions would have been off and the “wheels at the corners” stance the MINI is known for would have watered down.

Car accident..whose fault?

Of course all that said, the car now looks rather awkard with 15″ wheels.

Why is it that most top end cars always have a problem with their turn signals working?

bluzeke Oct 31st, 2006 Link
Thanks Gabe . . if anyone’s got the answer I’m looking for, it’d be you! Nevertheless, the wheels look insubstantial - I guess now it’s gonna take a 20″ aftermarket wheel to fill the void!

if someone is stupid enough to walk in front of your car on a road, don't they deserve to be hit?

Wow, I had never noticed before that the 15″s look much smaller. But now that you guys mention it…

I still cannot get past the fake hood scoop. That is the single reason I won’t look into a new MINI when it’s time to trade or sell my ‘05 MCS.

I wonder which company will be the first to make a replacement piece to smooth out and fill in the fake hood scoop? Body color would suit it fine. That would make a Cooper S hood look more like a Cooper.

I think that company is called BMW/Mini; they’re fitting just that to the Cooper model ;) I wonder whether a Cooper bonnet will fit a Cooper S without any problems in terms of spacing and cooling.

Dou think it fair that tour coaches and taxis should use bus lanes,when they're not strictly public transport?

how far is north(-;?

Actually, I think it looks awkward with the 17″ wheels. :-( That and the rear fogs are the two exterior design elements that bug me. I’m wondering what wheel/tire combo will finally make it look right to me.

why does hawaii have interstate higways?

Aniawn Nov 1st, 2006 Link
I know this may have been answered before, as it involves the pre-07 modles, but…
Why are the front and rear fog lights on two seperate switches? Would it not make sense to intergrate them into one switch, and use that newly freed-up switch for something like the driving lamps?

I’m not a gearhead, however, here’s a thought. Is it possible that the hood scoop may be made functional(maybe part of the future JCW plan)? I remember several turbo charged cars with hood scoops.

What is the average price of a gallon of fuel in the USA?

pete Nov 1st, 2006 Link
the hoodscoop all sounds very much like a future jcw plan. Even without the jcw, one can just take out the fake grille and use the scoop as a better cooling method for the turbo that is RIGHT UNDER NEATH THE HOODSCOOP. It all sounds to me like jcw will be adding an intercooler for added ponies ;-)
