I'm guessing stupidity is the main reason. They have already demonstrated a surplus of that.

It's a Focus ST. 120 mph is actually not an uncomfortable speed for that car and it's not even working hard. They did throw in two free tires.

Not at triple-digit speeds? Last time I checked "I'm a mechanic and I was testing it" doesn't get you out of a ticket. Or worse.

Dash cams are usually pretty small. They almost certainly never noticed that it was there, or they would have either been much more prudent, or unplugged it.

Not to play devils advocate, but why didn't the mechanics turn off the dash cam? Or unplug it? I'm unfamiliar with the formal dynamics of dash cam operation, so I don't know if you can just shut one off, seems like you could though. Maybe take out the memory card?

On a 2-way road with a car oncoming it becomes sketchy.

call me paranoid but I reset the trip and take a photo of my mileage every time I drop my car off for service. I think I'm crazy for doing it then every so often along comes another video like this

I usually don't comment on many of the technical issues discussed here in Jalopnik because I'm not very well versed on auto mechanics. However, since I was actually an engineer who worked with hydrogen for the Space Shuttle program (retired now) I cringe a bit at the idea of your local service station getting plumbed…

If you're not near a supercharger, or are driving an electric car not compatible with a Supercharger, you're realistically looking at an overnight charge. It's slow, and that's a real issue, based on how most of us live and drive.

Independent of the science or philosophy behind his opinion, it's worth keeping in mind when you hear Musk blast hydrogen that he has billions upon billions of dollars invested in the development and adoption of a different fuel source.

This required an entire article to figure out? It's like asking Tim Cook if Android is the best mobile OS. Derp.

Not to sound political, but the last part about ISIS is in really bad taste.
