Answers from all who drive welcomed.

Where I am, in Singapore --- We usually have pump attendants at petrol kiosk or stations, who would assist drivers to pump petrol. They are usually retirees, though not all. Some would offer to clean your car windows or windscreens, while the tank is waiting to be filled up. Do you normally tip them even without the extra service?

As are Hummers.

Do you believe that in these times, when environmental issues have an effect on us all, when a large protion of the violence in the Middle East is a result of our fight to obtain as much oil as possible, when these bigger vehicles are responsible for guzzling more gas and causing double the amount of road accidents since their inception than any other vehichle, even four door sedans, that driving an SUV, especially a Hummer, is political, socially, and personally irresponsible?

I ride the train and I'm constantly amazed at the inconsiderate shite people do. Loud talking, yelling, that type of stuff.

If so many accidents happen because of speeders, then why not program the cars not to exceed.. lets say 100 kmh/70mph as that is the maximum speed limit in North America?

I have a 1989 toyota camry and everytime i release the brakes, i hear this loud squealing noise that is coming outside of my car. I recently got my brake pads and rotor replace, but i still hear this sound everytime i release my brake. I ask the guy who fixed my car why i hear this noise and he told me something i didn't understand so i just said oh i see. Anyway let me emphasize that the noise is cause immediately once i release my brake pedals and not when i stepping on them.
