剛來美國也開過半年lincoln大八缸 但就一直不來勁！幾年前租車時也開過town car還是不來勁！跑一趟北加約五六個鐘頭 因為town car懸掛系統太軟 開的我腰酸背痛的！學長講到focus我也租過 是比較硬式的美國車 雖空間不大 但我這把老骨頭還比較喜歡 不過沒跑過長途 所以我還沒來得及好好體會 有史以來 我感到開過最棒的美國車不是corvette 更不是hummer 而是凱迪拉克第一代的srx 非常舒適 軟硬適中 馬力充沛 配備豪華 大小剛好（有三排座可選）有興趣 有機會 請學長也可多留意 是我買美國車的最優先考慮 去年開過朋友的凱迪拉克escalade 大而鬆散 像一對大而無神的眼眸 眨巴著！ 可能老美喜歡 與我口味不合 這就是我最後一次開美國車的經驗了！
（其他還租過不少 但全垃圾得很！）

Re: 網拍二手車
SHELDON，
我想你會腰酸背痛應該是和你的坐姿有關，和TC的懸吊無關
最近常跑長程，比較了FORD FOCUS、VW NEW BEETLE、以及CADILLAC STS以後，我覺得長程車有幾項需求
一、座椅要舒適
要有電動調整才能隨時安全的變更坐姿，這樣才不會累，而且我發現最舒適的角度就是懶人椅的半躺，一般車根本無法做到、或者是在行進間無法做到。還有，LUMBAR SUPPORT也是很重要的一環，要能隨時改變
二、車的懸吊系統要軟
地面的路感、震動在長程旅行沒有必要一分一毫的都傳上來，軟比硬好很多，這和在LOCAL開或者飆車時剛好相反
三、隔音系統也要好
再次把外界環境因素與車廂內隔離，才不容易疲勞

Re: 網拍二手車
跑長途，定速是非有不可的裝備。
lumbar support 也一定要，但是一個小枕頭，也可以代替。
剛來美國，開車，保養車，也聽過，幹過不少蠢事。
有聽說，學生出去玩，大夥坐一輛車。那車是六缸車，車主認為，胎壓，打氣的標準是，1個人10磅胎壓，車上4個人，所以每個輪胎打了40磅進去。想當然，旅途一半，爆胎，所幸大家平安。
還有一個機械系，碩士研究生。自己修車，東拆西拆後，下午帶著大夥從阿州到佛州看藍天使表演。高速公路都還好，轉到 local 道路。引擎過熱。車當掉了。引擎蓋打開一看，散熱風扇跟馬達，沒裝回去。
我嘛，是忘了加機油，引擎鎖死，當在高速公路上。
早先也也喜歡自己修車，功力馬馬虎虎，第一台車100元，第二台車免費，第三台車300元，便宜但也沒讓修車廠賺到錢。
但是看完死亡真面目的電影後 （face of death)，就不在自己換各式各樣的油了。那電影包含各種真實死亡紀錄片，還有砍頭，五馬分屍。 電影院放的時候，都是年輕人再看。
裡面有一個是，修車，人在車底下，千斤頂失靈，壓在他的下半身。有夠慘。回家看看自己的裝備，還是到車廠換油的好。

30 tips on how to save on gas!
Save on your gas price!
The surest way you can improve your fuel cost problem is to change your motoring habits. Listed below under four categories are 30 effective methods of doing so... no need to buy expensive add-on equipment.
ENGINE WARM-UP
1. Avoid prolonged warming up of engine, even on cold mornings - 30 to 45 seconds is plenty of time.
2. Be sure the automatic choke is disengaged after engine warm up... chokes often get stuck, resulting in bad gas/air mixture.
3. Don't start and stop engine needlessly. Idling your engine for one minute consumes the gas amount equivalent to when you start the engine.
4. Avoid "revving" the engine, especially just before you switch the engine off; this wastes fuel needlessly and washes oil down from the inside cylinder walls, owing to loss of oil pressure.
5. Eliminate jack-rabbit starts. Accelerate slowly when starting from dead stop. Don't push pedal down more than 1/4 of the total foot travel. This allows carburetor to function at peak efficiency.
HOW TO BUY GASOLINE
6. Buy gasoline during coolest time of day - early morning or late evening is best. During these times gasoline is densest. Keep in mind - gas pumps measure volumes of gasoline, not densities of fuel concentration. You are charged according to "volume of measurement".
7. Choose type and brand of gasoline carefully. Certain brands provide you with greater economy because of better quality. Use the brands which "seem" most beneficial.
8. Avoid filling gas tank to top. Overfilling results in sloshing over and out of tank. Never fill gas tank past the first "click" of fuel nozzle, if nozzle is automatic.
HOW TO DRIVE ECONOMICALLY
9. Exceeding 40 mph forces your auto to overcome tremendous wind resistance.
10. Never exceed legal speed limit. Primarily they are set for your traveling safety, however better gas efficiency also occurs. Traveling at 55 mph gives you up to 21% better mileage when compared to former legal speed limits of 65 mph and 70 mph.
11. Traveling at fast rates in low gears can consume up to 45% more fuel than is needed.
12. Manual shift driven cars allow you to change to highest gear as soon as possible, thereby letting you save gas if you "nurse it along". However, if you cause the engine to "bog down", premature wearing of engine parts occurs.
13. Keep windows closed when traveling at highway speeds. Open windows cause air drag, reducing your mileage by 10%.
14. Drive steadily. Slowing down or speeding up wastes fuel. Also avoid tailgating - the driver in front of you is unpredictable. Not only is it unsafe, but if affects your economy, if he slows down unexpectedly.
15. Think ahead when approaching hills. If you accelerate, do it before you reach the hill, not while you're on it.
GENERAL ADVICE
16. Do not rest left foot on floor board pedals while driving. The slightest pressure puts "mechanical drag" on components, wearing them down prematurely. This "dragging" also demands additional fuel usage.
17. Avoid rough roads whenever possible, because dirt or gravel rob you of up to 30% of your gas mileage.
18. Use alternate roads when safer, shorter, straighter. Compare traveling distance differences - remember that corners, curves and lane jumping requires extra gas. The shortest distance between two points is always straight.
19. Stoplights are usually timed for your motoring advantage. By traveling steadily at the legal speed limit you boost your chances of having the "green light" all the way.
20. Automatic transmissions should be allowed to cool down when your car is idling at a standstill, e.g. railroad crossings, long traffic lights, etc. Place gear into neutral position. This reduces transmission strain and allows transmission to cool.
21. Park car so that you can later begin to travel in forward gear; avoid reverse gear maneuvers to save gas.
22. Regular tune-ups ensure best economy; check owner's manual for recommended maintenance intervals.
Special attention should be given to maintaining clean air filters... diminished air flow increases gas waste.
23. Inspect suspension and chassis parts for occasional misalignment. Bent wheels, axles, bad shocks, broken springs, etc. create engine drag and are unsafe at high traveling speeds.
24. Remove snow tires during good weather seasons; traveling on deep tire tread really robs fuel!
25. Inflate all tires to maximum limit. Each tire should be periodically spun, balanced and checked for out-of-round.
When shopping for new tires, get large diameter tires for rear wheels. Radial designs are the recognized fuel-savers; check manufacturer's specifications for maximum tire pressures.
26. Remove vinyl tops - they cause air drag. Rough surfaces disturb otherwise smooth air flow around a car's body.
Bear in mind when buying new cars that a fancy sun roof helps disturb smooth air flow (and mileage).
27. Auto air conditioners can reduce fuel economy by 10% to 20%. Heater fan, power windows and seats increase engine load; the more load on your engine, the less miles per gallon.
28. Remove excess weight from trunk or inside of car - extra tires, back seats, unnecessary heavy parts. Extra weight reduces mileage, especially when driving up inclines.
29. Car pools reduce travel monotony and gas expense - all riders chip in to help you buy. Conversation helps to keep the driver alert. Pooling also reduces traffic congestion, gives the driver easier maneuverability and greater "steady speed" economy. For best results, distribute passenger weight evenly throughout car.
30. During cold weather watch for icicles frozen to car frame. Up to 100 lbs. can be quickly accumulated!
Unremoved snow and ice cause tremendous wind resistance. Warm water thrown on (or hosed on) will eliminate it fast.
EXTRA TIPS
Install pressure regulator valve (sold in auto parts stores)... Use graphite motor oil... Beware of oil additives, regardless of advertising claims... Add Marvel Mystery Oil into gas fill-ups... Investigate fuel/water injection methods and products... combine short errands into one trip... Use special gas additives to prevent winter freezing of gas lines!

而且我發現最舒適的角度就是懶人椅的半躺---> 這樣坐是很危險吧？如不幸發生意外 1. 是不是會提高頸脊受傷的機會？（因椅背受撞擊而往前彈移） 2. 是不是會提高身體由安全帶下方滑出的機會？不可不慎 http://www.car-seat-data.co.uk/ananlysis.htm
請看：
VOLVO車的安全措施
WHIPS 頸椎撞擊防護系統
VOLVO 的 WHIPS 系統整合在前座椅背之中，能以經過控制的方式托住乘客脊椎和頸部。當車身遭到追撞、而且強度超過特定標準時，WHIPS 系統就會啟動；獨立公正研究結果顯示，WHIPS 系統是全球車壇防護效率最高的同類設計之一。自從 1998 年問世以來，它已經降低車禍導致長期傷害的比例達 50%。
防潛式前座椅設計
前後座椅的輪廓均有防止乘客身體下滑的設計，能在萬一發生撞擊事故時，避免乘客的身體往下滑出安全帶的防護位置。
二、車的懸吊系統要軟---> 同意 只是我個人覺得美國大車過軟的懸吊系統會暈車！像跑船！
三、隔音系統也要好 再次把外界環境因素與車廂內隔離，才不容易疲勞---> 這是絕對的！
