I am failing to see how the cop did not do *exactly* the right thing here. If moron was going too fast to stop in time to not hit a very plainly visible cop car, he was going too fast to not hit a pedestrian. Not like he came around a blind corner and there was the cop.

If you were going too fast to avoid a stopped car, you were going too fast to avoid a pedestrian. I’m good with this one.

Well I don’t disagree. It’s also not fair to label something unsafe that has not been tested or proven to be unsafe. Regardless the company is out of business so no you shouldn’t buy or use. But for argument sake just saying something is unsafe cause the money wasn’t shelled out for the certification is also a no-no…

A HANS device and full roll cage doesn’t meet FMVSS standards...

Considering it’s still a factory option on the E-Class wagon, it’s probably not the rear-facing portion that’s the issue.

My wife and I took MB during our pre-marital counseling period and literally scored opposite on all four measures. The priest said he’d never seen that and looked somewhat concerned. We’ve been married 25 years.

I don’t doubt that people who put straight pipes on their shit and do crackle tunes or whatever have some kind of genuine personality disorder, but I’m not going to just ignore that a study is flawed just so I can allow it to confirm my pre-existing bias, Mr. Internet. 

Honestly if it’s both squatted and rolling coal, they should keep the driver in it when they crush the truck. That person has such disregard for the well-being of everyone around them that they are a burden to society and have done enough damage as it is.

Aren’t all personality tests complete shit anyways? I remember when Myers-Briggs was all the rage and everyone was putting “INTJ” at the top of their tumblr profiles, and recently some psychologists said that test was about as useful as a horoscope.

The Wrangler Rubicon 392 seems to get all kinds of people riled up in all kinds of ways. 

These numbers are strong today, so 15 years ago they were pretty much out of this world.

Haven’t we already done the “dude from Nazareth gets big mad about commerce in a public space” thing?

Greedy idiots. He was actually willing to pay their BS ticket, but then they decided to see how much more they could shake out of his pockets.

Anytime a reduction in force happens to be an incredibly round number, like 10% of employees, it’s a great indicator that it’s not the result of careful analysis identifying redundant/unnecessary jobs to eliminate, but more of a knee jerk process of trying to keep investors happy. And whenever that’s the way you run…

You pump out thousands or millions of cars, you will produce some turds, Large scale manufacturing doesn’t keep its building processes that consistent that well over time to have never produced turkeys. It’s inevitable.

But no range anxiety, smaller battery = less weight, which all translates to more fun and less tyre wear (and less road wear).

Paying insurance on multiple vehicles when I can only drive one at a time.

Embedded in the carbon fiber rear wing of a salt flat car.

I guess this isn’t a surprise since the same is true for the Ford turbo V6 vs V8:
