I've done some extensive reading of the FARs (Federal Aviation Regulations) during my career as an aircraft mechanic. The rules about portable electronic devices are found in FAR 125.204. You can read the section here: [rgl.faa.gov] . Amusingly, electric razors are specifically excluded from the ban, so feel free…

@AlCaPWN96: You mean like the ones used on organs? [en.wikipedia.org]
@TinaCoon: Is it a SHO? Those V8 SHOs are great. I just sold my '99 to get a more economical commuter car (NA Miata), but it was endlessly fun to see mechanics do double-takes when they saw the engine. I had one guy count the intake runners because he thought I had put a V8 engine cover on a V6.
@nick2ny: If you look closely at the first picture, you can see that the batteries are housed in the bumpers. According to Wikipedia, the earlier models had the batteries under the seat but this was changed to allow more batteries to power a more powerful motor.
@kickingtotalass: Unfortunately the questions asked were extremely narrow. For example, I fall into the "PC pirates" category because I copied a friend's copy of Half-Life during college. I felt bad about it and bought a copy at the first opportunity, and I've never pirated anything since. But due to the questions…
Ford Taurus SHO - Gen I, II, or III. Cheap, moderately fast, and surprisingly good handling. Got a '99 SHO now that I'm rebuilding, should be trackable soon.
@MushyHeirloom: I believe this color is called Currant Red. It wasn't a terribly common color for a SHO iirc.
I'm curious about rock crawlers using both feet to crawl. I used to rock crawl in a modified Jeep Cherokee, and I never used both feet. I had a 2.72:1 (standard NP231) low range, properly geared axles for my tire size, and with the automatic transmission I never needed to use brakes to control my approaches.
@pauljones: I'd heartclick you for that if I hadn't already. That made me laugh, thanks!
@area_educator's Saturn SC2 needs a Northstar V8 more than it needs a back seat: I think most direct-linkage accelerators rely on a spring on the throttle plate to bring the pedal back up, so adding a spring to Toyota's unit would make it feel "more realistic." It kinda makes sense that way, so it's easy to do a…
I've owned several really reliable cars, but the one that impressed me the most was my 1995 Taurus SHO. It never failed to start, and never had any issues that prevented me from getting to my intended destination. I ended up driving it from South Carolina to southern California, then from Cali to Alaska. Very…
@LandofMinos: The new SHO is AWD. #mobsteel
