Modern american cars carry the unfortunate stigma of American cars of the '70s and '80s, and even most of the '90s and 2000s, to be honest. Today's reality is that they're typically as good as anything else on the market. The days of the K-Car are well behind us.

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this, but the lack of stars on your comment is a little disappointing. Are the majority of Jalopniks really dumb enough to want a herse that's practically guaranteed to fall apart around you just because "425HP"?

Thankfully, the axe only went halfway through the windshield. The passenger who is partially seen in the photo was shaken up (who wouldn't be?) but not injured. Trooper Joseph Risteen of the Newbury Barracks responded to the scene and cited the truck driver, who is from Peabody, for failure to secure cargo, which…

Next time try taking fewer photos of the car, that way we can really get a feel for it's anonymity.

Sometimes when you're driving in Massachusetts, an axe might come flying through your windshield. THAT'S WHAT'S UP.

My wife currently has a Honda Odyssey, but it's impractical for short trips and actually difficult to park in these tiny spots everyone is making now-a-days, so the 5 was a serious consideration. This makes me sad.

I forgot to mention last night (you caught me a few beers in) that the reason microwave ovens are harmless even at 1000+watts is because they are surrounded by a very simple safeguard called a faraday cage. Lower frequencies of RF when they strike metallic, or conductive material convert their energy to electricity…

Cell phones don't all run at 2.something GHz, that's a T-Mobile band iirc (maybe Sprint), Verizon and AT&T and the majority of cellphone frequencies used are in the 1.9GHz and below (RF changes forms as the frequency changes, the light you are looking at and allows you to see is THz frequency RF, and then there's IR,…

Other than scratching the furniture, I love the idea of weaponizing my roomba. Thanks!

Oh yeah, and if you do do what this kid did, take a beaker of salt water and point the output of your franken-wave at it while holding a torch above it. If it's powerful enough and directed correctly, you'll split the hydrogen from the oxygen and the top of the beaker will burn while the gases are escaping. It's fun.

The RF energy given off from a microwave is set to the resonant frequency of water (I think it's 2.66GHz, or roughly there abouts) and can cause, with prolonged exposure of high wattages, burns and cataracts. That's it. The small amounts that might escape your microwave (doubtful since the law of "path of least…

I hate lane-splitting for that very reason. I get why motorcyclists think it's great, and if done intelligently, can be beneficial, but too many morons go zooming through as if the cars can't make a sudden lane change or open a door.

Recommending yourself is just tacky. Good thing I'm not above tacky.

I know, and it's more glorious than my combover. Thanks for noticing.

Did you wait all of 13 seconds after learning of it's existance to use the word "unironic" pointlessly? I know I did.

It's shocking how stupid your comment is coming from someone desperately trying to come off as more intelligent than their target, but realizing they aren't.

Well, he's Jason now. And really what matters is that he isn't Muslim, because that would just have been cause to bury the shit out of this story and the rest of us (the intelligent thinkers in the crowd that is) to now have the chance to enjoy the story for its humor, or see the ignorant comments of the mouth…

So nice you had to say it twice.

Want to know why you know he's Christian and not muslim? Because his "victims" weren't mutilated, or killed. Fuck you, ignorant bigot.

Then again, it's not really socialism since there are still other, privately-owned choices in town that drivers are free to use. The other stations will just have to lower their prices if they want to compete. Sounds like the free market, doesn't it?
