Yes. I’m also not sure why Tesla hasn’t done this test, since NHTSA’s tests are kind of a joke compared to the severity of IIHS tests.
That is exactly it. Volvo is somewhat unique in this, as most automakers simply beef up the A-pillar/firewall/door frame interface at that point. Volvo designed a hefty beam that runs from the front bumper bar to the A-pillar that deflects the car away instead.
better camera angle.
They still do 3 tests between NHTSA and IIHS: 25% small overlap, 50% moderate overlap, and full frontal crashes.
A few inches inboard becomes a moderate overlap test, something the Volvo (and indeed most cars) already ace.
The flashers activate after a crash.
The wheel collapses so that it doesn’t protrude into the firewall. There is also a beam that connects the front bumper bar to the A-pillar that deflects the car away from the point of impact; something somewhat unique to Volvo as most other OEMs simply brute-force it by reinforcing the door sill and A-pillar areas.…
This is awesome. I’ll be sure to do the EXACT OPPOSITE =D

Don’t confuse “dealerships” with the actual OEM. I fucking hate my local Honda and Chevy dealerships, but that has no bearing on the OEMs they take vehicles from to sell.
Those first 2 points have nothing to do with this incident, and actually your second point makes no sense- if there was no bailout, the only possible thing that could have occurred is the complete dissolution of GM. There would be no restructuring, because GM went into bankruptcy protection during the…
Them failing won’t have done anything. Accordingly, this happened way before the bankruptcy. If anything, nobody would have been held accountable at all had GM been dissolved.
I’m actually not privy to the NASCAR world, but do any OEMs actually cast their shit in house? Even in production engines, typically the valvetrain components and such come from an outside supplier...
It’s ok as long as you don’t look at the radiator... or the side air cleaner... or the headlight... or the front radiator... or the fork gators...
As I lived in the GTA (now in Michigan), I can attest that people have been seen walking around with weirder stuff.
Sure, but you don’t need a jug to hide a knife. Regardless, Japan is not the USA, so despite Toshi’s gangsta looks, nobody is likely to bat an eye.
Lower the pump flow, and then carry a bigger jug in an insulated lunchbox, in a roller suitcase (this is not an unusual thing to see in some asian markets with people from mainland China buying tons of shit, though I’m not sure about Japan). You really only need low flow if you’re going to directly use ice water. If…
It’s Japan. They don’t have to worry that some nerd is carrying a bomb, or a gun.
