Quote:ehhh I see to many problems with diesels at work to want one.
The modern ones? I'm talking 3 years old and newer. I bet you haven't seen problems in those. Plus, those semi-trucks that routinely put anywhere from 800,000 to 2 million miles on them, each, are diesel powered. So are the locomotives that carry freight by rail. So are most large ships. If they were inefficient and unreliable, would they power a majority of the shipping commerce in the world?
But hey, it's your choice after all.
Quote:Back in the day, some folks liked to do the same to VW bugs.
I personally participated in lifting a Honda and putting it on its owner's front porch. It took 7 or 8 of us, as I recall.

That it's all fun and games until it's your daughter that's getting the attention.
I thought the point was pretty obvious...

I don't know what statistics you're reading but I just had this debate with a friend and the crime rate is not going down, at least the violent crime rate is not:
In 1962 the population of the U.S. was 186 million, with 301k violent crimes for a crime rate per 100k of 0.162
In 2012 the population of the U.S. was 316 million, with 1,214k violent crimes for a crime rate per 100k of 0.380
Perhaps the crime rate in specific locales have decreased, but certainly not across the U.S.

Quote:Actually, the crime rate in the USA has been declining since the early 90's and is comparable to the level seen in the 60's (before the uptick in the 70s that lasted thru the end of the 80s).

This backs up what oface said: <a class="bbc_url" href='http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEVxeLjkRTc1gAUFDBGOd_;_ylu=X3oDMTE0YmY0MzhmBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1RBVVMwMjlfMQ--/RV=2/RE=1397030668/RO=10/RU=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.csmonitor.com%2FUSA%2FJustice%2F2012%2F0109%2FUS-crime-rate-at-lowest-point-in-decades.-Why-America-is-safer-now/RK=0/RS=MiwixlfBDyLcCrryesKnly_d0os-'>http://ri.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LEVxeLjkRTc1gAUFDBGOd_;_ylu=X3oDMTE0YmY0MzhmBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkA1RBVVMwMjlfMQ--/RV=2/RE=1397030668/RO=10/RU=http%3a%2f%2fwww.csmonitor.com%2fUSA%2fJustice%2f2012%2f0109%2fUS-crime-rate-at-lowest-point-in-decades.-Why-America-is-safer-now/RK=0/RS=MiwixlfBDyLcCrryesKnly_d0os-</a>
Also, found this part of the story ironic: The data point to a persistent perception gap among Americans. Despite strong evidence of crime dropping over recent decades, the public sees the reverse. "Recent Gallup polls have found that citizens overwhelmingly feel crime is going up even though it is not," says Professor Fox. "This is because of the growth of crime shows and the way that TV spotlights the emotional. One case of a random, horrific shooting shown repeatedly on TV has more visceral effect than all the statistics printed in a newspaper."
Hmmmm.....

Edit: I see now where the decline is. It's coming down from the 90's according to this chart.

Chief, try link again.
Another interesting note in the article: The last time the crime rate for serious crime – murder, rape, robbery, assault – fell to these levels, gasoline cost 29 cents a gallon and the average income for a working American was $5,807.
Quote:The new advanced diesels are much better than any hybrid. The European brands seem to have the technology down the best. Very impressive cars and engines.
That's my line!
Not to mention the people I've seen driving those smart cars look pretty pathetic.. I can't help but to laugh when i see one.. Kinda falls in line with standing in line for 3 days to spend 800 bucks on an Apple IPhone with their Macbooks and Starbucks. Snooty hipster people who think their stuff don't stink..
