My point is that Volvo didn't earn your devotion in a vacuum. And there are a number of vehicles that sacrifice themselves for their owners. We all have our favorites :)

Didn't Mercedes release their 1952 crumple zone patent before it expired?

You overlooked the single most important and lasting factor. Would you want your kid to be known as 'hey, it's the wiener kid' after being dropped off out in front on the first day of school?

Not if transparent aluminum gets there first...

In South Korea, PDR masters can be found next to freeway onramps, where you can have dents removed while you wait - they use any number of tools, from animal bones to deer antlers and you'll be on your way in no time.

If you needed me, you'd be paying my airfare and accommodation to participate, so thanks for at least warning me when to steer clear of you.

Right...Elon Musk Admits He Is Too Busy To Build Hyperloop

Do you know about T's joke-to-misspoke ratio? Misspoke wins by a large margin :)

Ford is just pulling out of one NHRA Pro series.

I recall one 'prediction' TSLA would hit near $700 at some point. All I know is that I got in at around $20, so it's been all good for me for some time. I'm currently up more than 250%, so if even if it stopped now I'd still be happy.

We're talking about AM Travis, on a Wednesday :) He usually doesn't get that creative until midnight, Friday.

...from the 'net...

"(Australia's are notoriously INaccurate, they had to refund $26 million a few years ago after a Datsun with a top speed of 73 was clocked at 98),"

'68 Cortina GT 1600 - bought new, then ragged engine in 3rd year - converted to Pinto/Lima OHV 2 liter, but kept the original trans. Took months to find the right bell housing so it would all bolt in. Decked head, 302 valves, degreed cam pulley, lightened flywheel, tube headers, side exhaust, dual-point Mallory, meth…

Body roll? You'd think you were Playmate of the Month, for cripes sake...

You're asking the wrong guy - I've held a Calif. smog license and am AMSE Certified Journeyman Car and Heavy Truck. As well, I can tell you what's wrong with your wreck in five languages.

Me and two friends, heading for a construction job in a company pickup, on the way from Phoenix to El Paso. Middle of the night....middle of no where. We almost ran smack into the thing.

Up $17 in after hours, so far.....
