What little things you want to see

When I am next to people that leave 20-30 feet of space between them and the car in front of them, I change lanes into that spot just to take up the space.

There are also people that leave 1-2 car lengths of space when they are at the front of the line. I don't know how many times I have been stuck behind these clowns. The light will not turn green because it doesn't know we are there. ROAD RAGE!!!

I have a slight case of road rage when cars leave that much space too. I was taught 2/3 a car length was good enough--but when I see a 2 car length... I start tailgating because the turd bucket decides to leave a gap the size of China in the middle of the road. MOVE UP BUDDY. ITS A RED LIGHT.

I also get annoyed when people go below the speed limit. :l If it says.. 45.. GO 45!!!

But yes, I think everyone who drives a MT puts it in Neutral when at Red lights; however, that's just me assuming everyone who drives a MT puts it in N. :P

^ Make sure you leave your foot on your break. Those extra red lights really do help alert people. Also if you get rear ended you will be less likely to hit a person in front of you. I sometimes go as far as pumping my break light if I think they are coming in too fast

I was taught to be able to see a couple inches of the road behind their back tires.

I find this to be a good rule.

Huh? Then whats the crank on the door for?

^ If ANYONE expects wind-up windows on a car in 2012, there is something wrong with them.... I can't think of a SINGLE car that has them, and I very much doubt Toyota will be the first to try and 'bring them back' again....

Hey, if people here can wish and dream about rev matching and super awesome zomgamazing auto transmissions, and other things a driver in a drivers car doesn't need, I can wish and dream about getting back to basics!

Sides, I've never met a power window that could outlast good ole cranks.

Not only that but Americans need to get active again! Cranking the window is a mild form of exercise...at least for most Americans.

Mild? Probably more like strenuous exercise for most Americans. LOL! But it's OK because we love our burgers!!

Mmmm, burrrgerrrs.

I'm glad my job requires me to walk 10-12 miles a day. Bout the only good thing about it.

Driver's side electric windows I think are nice, makes you look better :P
Passenger can just deal with the crank. I personally hate having windows open, so the harder it is for a passenger to lower the window the better.

Power locks are actually good though, family friend has an old Corolla with no power windows or locks, and the locks are extremely annoying.

Eye scanner which recognizes you so you don't need keys or a fob. The dash to be made of a tempered glass computer similar to what was in Minority Report. This will control all the basic and advanced functions (A/C, heat, radio, nav, onboard diagnostics, ...). Solar panel on the roof which continually keeps the temperature inside at a pleasurable 68* F. The whole body to be made of Carbon Fiber and Kevlar for lightweight and rigidity.

These are just a couple things I fully expect. For practicality, I will not mention my other wants.

Actually they do still make cars with manual windows but they're rare. And that was just a recent event like in the last couple of years so don't act so surprised by such a notion. It used to be you could get an Aveo or a Ranger without A/C or power windows. I dunno about either now since I can't find out on their websites .

the regular cab models have crank windows. look at the interior features for the 4x4 regular cab 5 speed, for example.

I thought the Yaris was available with manual windows. Maybe Giccin can shed some light.
