    Cars of the world

    Its also because of traffic regulations in Europe, the higher cost of petrol (until recently automatics were less efficient than manuals, especially with smaller engine cars) and "sunk costs". Unlike USA if you take your driving test in an automatic car "code 78" is put on your licence - you...

    What's the worst day to be driving on?

    I have flexible hours for work (which isn't so bad as I can avoid rush hour) but find that Fridays seem to be worst in my area; a lot of people in work vehicles seem to be rushing around presumably trying to finish their days work earlier so they can get an early weekend (not really worth it if...

    plastic license plate

    I'd be surprised if custom number plates for Teslas were wildly different from any other similar custom plates for other cars; probably best to first check with your DMV what is allowed in your state (as compared to other countries where there is a standard design for the whole country, USA...
