Ok, good luck with your war on motor oil. Don’t forget to fight against it’s evil slick brother, dish soap.

Well, it doesn’t have to be automotive oil. It could be some kind of natural, friendly vegetable oil. And it’s not like oil that is going to get dumped out twice a year. Most cars aren’t wrecked.

Meh. Cars spill plenty of fluids in accidents.

There really isn’t. At least, not ruggedized enough. Nothing is ever ruggedized enough!

If you’re going to bother, fill them with oil instead of water. More viscous, so it can absorb more energy, lower freezing point, and its even somewhat lighter.

How do you get all those trucks started? How do you slip all those clutches at the same time?

So if I bring in a warrantied vehicle with a blown engine, the manufacturer can’t deny the claim simply because I changed my own oil and didn’t bother saving a single receipt?

What about lack of maintanance? Does the manufacturer have to prove that too?

Jeebuz, I didn’t know you were going all political on me. You’re wrong about Israel. Yes, regular citizens carry uzis. My math teacher kept a mini uzi in her purse. The comparison is about as applicable as comparing sportbikes to Uzi’s in the first place, which is to say, not very.

Yeah, but the vast majority of those death are single vehicle accidents. Some might say that adults should be able to risk their own life. If you want to use you uzi comparison (which hey, check out israel. Lots of people walk around with uzis, its friendly) it would be like walking around with an uzi pointed at your…

I’d say every 4th or 5th new streetbike owner is at least a part time squidiot, based on my experience. And all it takes is one mistake.

It takes experience to learn to take it easy. Every newbie on a sportbike wants to go fast.

Did you include the rider? 160lbs makes a pretty big difference. It is still stupid fast.

Yes and no. Fancy traction control sure helps keep the bike from actively trying to eat your soul when you twist the grip. But the feroucious acceleration can still be very difficult to handle. You gain so much speed, in such a short distace, that you become overwhelmed and miss your marks. In other words, it makes it…

I pretty much agree, except no electronics are enough to keep one from dying. There comes a point where a vehicle becomes faster than the rider can think, and all the traction in the world wont help you if you hit a tree.

Does anyone know what the redline is? 207hp/liter is insane. How come that never seems to scale to larger motors (for cars obviously. Who wants a 600hp motorcycle)?

Dear producer of gear knobs, or whatever the shows name is going to be. I’d like to volunteer to work on 5 episodes of your show, in whatever capacity you choose that puts me on the set. I’ll accept 3 face punches from the hosts as the price of admission.

I thought you couldn’t actually sign away your right to sue someone. Didn’t you say something along those lines while talking about all the bs forms one has to sign before doing something dangerous?

Tornado hit a town in oklahoma, and tried to destroy some guys mustang. The mustang would not die, and was seen driven around in this state.

But at the end of the day, even if you did sign the form, you can still sue them can’t you? The suit wont automatically be dismissed, right? I mean, chrystler could demand their $200 back, but shouldn’t that be the end of the concequences?
