    They didn’t teach me how to merge but to be fair I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire that didn’t really have highways. Then at age 18 I moved to Austin Texas and learned to merge real quick lol. Definitely a pet peeve of mine when people try to merge 20-30 under the speed limit! Like you got the whole on ramp and then some to get up to speed let’s go!

      @huskynu13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For my first 400 miles I averaged 18 mpg. I've seen a few posts on TH-cam and on the forum mention getting close to 30 mpg so I've committed to raising my mpg for the last 300 miles and now I'm up to 24.5 mpg!

    • @djaric
      @djaric 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just take a 1000 mile highway road trip and you'll be able to get 25 average over 2100 some miles, like I did. lol I don't know why I'm obsessed with trying to keep the mpg high either. That's not what the car is for!

    If there's one luck, we have here in europe about cars, is that in a 2.5 hours roadtrip, we can see a lot of scenery, a lot of curvy roads, and a lot of landmarks in that time span.

    Really feel you on the need to just jump into your car and GO places, I had pretty much the exact same revelation you explain here so I've been doing my research on good hiking places around the state and then hitting road on the weekends, bring my camera with me and take some pictures, just making sure to enjoy life as much as I can.

    Hey Tedward, nice seeing you come to Maine. I have the first FL5 Type R registered in Maine (none were allotted to Maine by the time I got mine registered here after buying out of state and no one from the forums spoke about registering/staying in Maine, so I like to believe that mine is the first lol), but looks like you beat me to Portland! Same color as yours as well haha. Championship White for the win! As always great video and keep posting more Type R content!

    finnnallllllly someone gets it. they teach this method of merging when you do your permit courses, and no one does it; creates unnecessary traffic. what this youtuber stated is 100% correct

  • @megamachine7818
    @megamachine7818 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    the steering wheel oscillation is kind of a feature, not a bug. they purposely have it constantly moving in both directions to force you to keep your hand on the wheel, the swaying is just exacerbated by the wind. you raise a good point that it does not really seem to take wind into account, but that is just because its assumed your hands stay on the wheel. the assist motor is intentionally weak so it doesn't overpower/scare the user and only has about 10-15 degrees of movement before it taps out. a self driving car would just implement stronger motors and the swaying wouldn't be an issue.

    Driver's licensing education and culture in North America needs to change for real. It's such a difficult topic because the culture here is that driving is a right and not a privilege, which I kinda get since the landmass is too big and public transportations are terrible. BUT, that means there should be an equal amount of emphasis on the education of new drivers and international drivers adjusting to the roads here.

    Hi Tedward, thank you for your wonderful content! I wonder whether you’re planning to do a Mazda CX 30 Turbo (specifically) review. Would love to see your impressions of it, including its handling/performance. While it’s not trying to be a hot hatch and rather aims for the premium/luxury feel, it has quite an impressive performance, handling and so forth. And that’s despite having a rear torsion beam suspension and no LSD. It actually kind of rivals some of the hot hatches, to be completely honest and has even higher numbers than base line Macan, which is why I hear people calling it “mini Macan”. Obviously, you can’t compare it to Porsche but it is a car I love a lot. Anyway, sorry for encroaching on your TH-cam space.

    Around where I am most merge lanes are short, and some are stupidly short (because designers thought clover leafs can fit in mountains w/o making them tiny), and frequently you have to stop because there just isn't room to get over. Look at mm 105 I81 south VA

Selling the yaris as i've ordered the FL5 but this front wheel drive thing is my main concern. Mind you i'm an ex fk8 owner and i didn't have the best rubber on that hence my anxieties. Thanks!

    How does the transmission and gears (specifically 1 to 2) feel compared to the SI? That’s the most annoying thing for me on the integra.

    i still would really love to know, front seat all the way back, rear seats folded, how far is it from the back of the front seat to the opening at the hatch, could i fit a 6ft 2x4 with the hatch closed?
