If you drive one tamely enough, it's nothing to be afraid of. There are certain dangers, but these people only got injured because they happened to be on a slope. Don't let yourself be afraid of old cars simply because new ones are safer. It's all about the way they're driven.

It can be made to seem more complicated for TV if that's the point you're trying to convey. I admit, I haven't actually driven one, but I've been shown how to and driven around in multiple Model Ts. It's not all that difficult, but it is definitely a different experience from a modern car.

First, how about we tone down the name-calling and knee-jerk reactions, okay?

Better. Now, as you pointed out, the article says that the car did not properly navigate the slope when trying to return to the pavement from being pulled over and letting cars pass and a spoke collapsed. Now, look at the context of the post…

Classic car enthusiasts knowingly take those safety risks each and every time they take their car on the road, but it still doesn't dampen the blow when tragedy does strike. I can't imagine taking my mom and (as of yet non-existent) daughter out for a ride and having it end up like that. Even in a modern car it's…

It doesn't sound like speed was relevant to this crash though.

Of course the speakers don't move, but the sound source was moving.

From my understanding, they recorded the audio on the cars itself, so the audio being played from each speaker was accurate with the sound created at that point on the track. So basically, the Doppler effect wasn't recorded; it was recreated by the speakers themselves.

Nope, you're welcome to your opinion. It's just that this plate style struck me as ugly when I saw it on my wife's black car, so I'm not sure how much that aspect really helps you.

Like I said in the original post, I like my Heritage Trust "Environment" plates. I think they only cost $20 more than the standard plate, and the money goes to what I consider a good cause. They also just look nice on both of my cars, the red Audi 90 Quattro 20V pictured above and my green '96 Grand Prix coupe. The…

I think I'd take the bicentennial plate over the "In God We Trust" plate, just because I feel like the latter is making a statement I'd rather not make (even though I identify as Christian). But the no added cost is nice.

Yeah it's pretty annoying.

O_o. I was born and raised in a rural county in Indiana and that's still hard for me to believe. Yeah, even though I am a Christian, I didn't really support the "In God We Trust" plates, and I also thought they were uglier than the plain blue ones. Which I also thought were ugly (uglier than the previous ones anyway).

Lol! It looks like someone found a vector car drawing tutorial on the web and was like "Yeah, I could design a plate."

Fitting for the state though, isn't it? Although that probably doesn't help drive tourism...

I'm nominating Indiana even though I'm fairly sure there's gotta be worse out there. It's our state's bicentennial, so you'd think if they're going to put it on the plate, they'd at least make it a good one.

That is a fantastic story for the car. And the car itself is drop-dead gorgeous and completely immaculate! It's hard to believe that it was ever driven on a regular basis just by its looks. Obviously it has been extremely well cared for over the years.

"3,090 this year." So probably ~6,000 a year, and that's the hybrid. It also sounds like they may be selling more if they up production. And that 6,000 was only ~40% of the total MKZ sales. So probably a yearly total this year of ~14,000 MKZs. That's not too bad really! It's conjecture, but it's better than I was…

Actually I'm up late working on a project, but should be in bed, haha.

We've had this argument previously. And I don't care if the Impala would win, I'd take the SD-455, and if numbers aren't the only thing that control your thoughts, so would you.

Right, they were commonly known as that. They were also commonly known as quad valve, or even quad cam if it was a V-engine.
