Speaking of that song, has this song as well as "All There Is" been obtained in full length?

Music and cursing help too

Haha, I agree

You know what I have noticed? Almost everyone I see who drives BMWs, they seem to have no patience and always cut in front of people. It's like they want attention and have everyone to see how "awesome" their car may be.

Ohh I know exactly what you mean. It's the same here too. Same with old guys in porsches. Oh god, they're evil sometimes. I promise when I get my BMW someday, I won't be like that

Patience and confidence are probably the two biggest assets you need for driving these days.

Yeah, true. I've got plenty of confidence (not OVERconfidence), but I don't get spooked at every little thing. Unfortunately, I'm often in a hurry, and sometimes my patience can be a bit short..

It's really common here to have that happen. People think that just cuz they're in a nice car, they can do whatever the heck they want. In the little section of town where I live, you get the old people. OMG they piss me off soooooo much.

Molly- It's really not that complicated lol I'm just surprised you've never heard of it before!

Mike- Yep, you to park you have to use the parking brake and leave it in gear. To put it in neutral, you move the stick to the middle, in "between gears" so that the shifter is able to move left and right freely. Hope that makes sense lol

I've never touched a stick shift yet... some people tell me it's more fun and less boring driving a stick since you have more to do than just holding the wheel. I'll have to test drive one sometime...

OMG you need to!!! It's wayyyyyy more fun driving a stick. Just be warned, once you get to try it, you'll likely never want to go to automatic again! lol

Pardon the dumb question, but how exactly do you stick shift? I'm not sure if automatic is good for me because I was driving today and almost struck 2 people. xD

You ever been in a car and seen something that looks like this in the center console? In simple terms, it's where you have to manually shift the gears. You're used to popping the car in "D" and thinking nothing more, right? In a stick shift, you need to change gears as you go up and down in speed. So you start in 1st gear, and go up as you increase speed. When you slow down, you shift to a lower gear. It's a lot like riding a bike actually.
Driving a stick is a bit more complicated at first..but it eventually becomes second nature. And oh I forgot to mention, you have to be willing to move your feet a lot, cuz you got 3 pedals to deal with in a stick car. I think you should give it a shot at least once in your life

Yeah, definitely go with a honda or toyota. They're pretty reliable and get good mileage. My only complaint is the "fun factor", or lack thereof in these cars. Of course, most of you probably arent as crazy about driving as I am

I dunno, I definitely come close... I love driving. Since my dad gave me his Camry in June 2009, I've driven almost 13,000 miles. My car has a V6 engine in it, so it's probably more fun to drive than a 4 cylinder like the Civic or Corolla.

I love BMWs too, but they're way beyond my budget, lol. My dad was considering one, but he decided to get an Infiniti G35 instead.

Haha awesome! Glad to see I'm not the only one. Well to be honest, out of all the cars I've gotten to test drive, I've never actually driven a Camry, so I have no idea how they handle. I drove my dad's '98 Civic, and it's got like no power. lol And the transmission slips really badly. That's one of the many reasons why I prefer driving a manual transmission. Now that definitely adds some fun..

Hah, I hear ya! M3 is definitely at the top of my list and if I can't afford it at the VERY least a 335i. Infinitis are pretty fun, I gotta say. My grandpa has a G37..and he's loaded it with all sorts of techy stuff lol

A friend of mine just got a 2010 Corolla not long ago and it's pretty nice, I was surprised at how much room was in the back seat, I'm a fairly big guy and I sat back there very comfortably.

I've been thinking about getting a new car for myself, I change cars as often as I change computers...  Although this time I'm trading in the soccer mom SUV for a sports car. It's either going to be an Audi S5... http://models.audiusa.com/s5-cabriolet
or a BMW M3... http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/vehicles/2011/m/m3coupe/default.aspx

OMG yes!! Go for the M3!!! I want one sooooo bad!
