The Sienna is woefully overstyled. Those rear fenders are writing checks the rest of the car can’t cash, the front grill is a weird gaping maw, and the rear looks, pinched.

The Sienna is the best looking minivan on the market today. *flame suit on*

Subarus are overrated. 

I want to like Icon’s Mercury, but the rusted, beater paint job makes the Mercury look like Icon got lazy and half-assed the paint and left it unfinished. And it makes me want to buy a few cases of black primer spray paint.

The sexual revolution, LSD, ‘ludes, bell bottoms, the pet rock.

The more I read that sentence, the more pissed off I become. How ignorant of U.S. history does one have to be to consider the early 70s as boring? Vietnam. Watergate. Sneaky Pete Robinson. The Datsun 510. The Datsun 240Z. Japanese bikes. Jackie Stewart. Can Am ground pounders.

School bus safety is one of the most studied, most debated areas in transportation. School buses are also one of the safest modes of tranportation in the US (per mile). School seat belts have been studied for decades. With 45 children in the back of the bus, how do you get a bunch of 6-year-olds to buckle up, not hit…

School buses are safer than cars for getting to school.

School buses are very safe. They could be safer, but kids are significantly safer in a school bus than being driven to school in a private car. The mechanism are different (school buses are safe because they have very strong frames, weight a lot, have the seating area above most potential impacts, and have closely…

The seat belt usage depends on which state requires it. Head Start, for example, mandated it since 2003 and local/state regulations cannot override it.

It’s based around the concept of compartmentalization

This is Florida; if this is the weirdest and most dangerous thing those kids will face everyday, then that is still putting one in the win column.

AIS includes a navigational status field, with a specific entry, “1", for “at anchor”. So I’d assume the AIS is continuously on. Even so, as I said in my other reply, if a ship is not moving significantly over as long as you can see it, chances are there’s a reason for that...
