That is what I thought it was when I saw the pic, if you are going to extend the cab out to the back and make a truck into an SUV (looks like a lot of work done for this customization) why not color match the extension so it looks like an SUV and not a pickup with a camper shell.

Correct, there is no way to remove 100% of accidents. Even if it’s 99.9999% of accidents, those last few percent points fall on the shoulders of the squishy organic beings that get ground into a sticky wet past.

Had no idea these existed, but I think the concept would have worked better if they color matched the cab extension so that it didn’t look like one those cheap bed topper that were so popular in the 80s and 90s.  When I saw the first picture I thought that is what it was.

What I don’t understand is that between 2011 and 2016, Hyundais shared a lot of parts with Kias, yet they used different ignition systems? My 2011 Tucson is basically identical to a 2011 Sportage, yet the Kia is easily stolen but they Hyundai isn’t? 

 Insurance is the WORST kind of organized crime.  Name another business that can legally discriminate based on sex, age, marital status etc.  And of course what they are doing here is legal - The insurance industry long ago bought and paid for the politicians who make the laws. The WORST 

It really is insane. Ignition interlocks basically made car thefts borderline impossible for “regular” thieves. To the point that it’s rarely profitable to steal a whole car and it 100% deters joyriders.

I’m 100% on board with any cool new color and I love color shift paints. :)

Just had an accident at work. Thankfully it’s no more than a broken hand. But I swear to all that is holy that the dumbass that hurt himself, hurt himself because he is just flat stupid.

I can’t imagine being the person who has to repair the engine.

I used to work on the flight line as a aircraft mechanic and ramp agent. Ramp agents get daily safety briefings, and we're always told not to approach if you can't see the swirl on the cone in the middle of the engine. But it is always a really physical and boring job that can have long hours (I used to work 12-14…

These are neat trucks and they probably hold their value well among Ford enthusiasts, but $17k is a lot to ask for a 33 year old vehicle that is more of a curiosity than anything else. The bargain bin tires don’t inspire much confidence in me either. ND. 

Interesting as a “what-if” brought to life, but would you pay anything close to this for the Chevy counterpart, same age and condition? That’s a big premium to say you have a Ford Suburban. ND.

Nah.

Thats a really naive way of looking at safety. Blame the victim. Safety systems should always assume we’re distracted and inattentive because we ALL have moments like this and NOBODY deserves to die because of it.

If we leave it at ‘it was the victim’s fault, case closed’ then nothing improves and someone else WILL…

well you can tell the 1990s they can go fuck themselves. if we have to have all of the weirdo colors at once to have them at all, i vote yea.

I cannot imagine being the crew (flight or ground) and witnessing that. Were it me, I don’t think I would be able to work in the industry anymore...

The report notes that the American Eagle employee manual specifies “the ingestion zone for all aircraft types is 15 feet,” and that personnel should not enter the ingestion zone until an aircraft’s engine or engines have fully spooled down and come to a stop.

iridescent and candy’s are probably the most beautiful paint jobs out there. Honorable mentions are

During my stint in the Navy I was a technician for an aircraft called affectionately “The Hoover” (a S3 Viking) it had two very large Pratt and Whitney engines attached to it that had the same safe distance.
