It's all 90's future up in here

Shouldn't it be kW/metric tonne? or HP/lbs? Mixing english and metric units is a sin.

As opposed to the horrific nightmare it was before 2003

It's good that it deploys in time, but does it actually help significantly reduce injuries? I hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't seem to offer much more protection than a really bad beer gut.

I believe you read that wrong, doesn't help that I used isn't instead of doesn't. I was trying to say that most people agree that Israel does NOT engage in mass slaughter of civilians for slaughter's sake. Very few people accuse Israel of mass atrocities, of the ones that level accusations, most accuse it of…

Valid point. Or at least, it is potentially a valid point. Accident investigation is rarely top notch.

We got brake test here. It is not a hard one to pass. In fact, I've never seen anyone fail it. You get around 20 yard (maybe more) to stop from 20mph without lockup up your tires. One place made me do it in the gravel, on a motorcycle, and I still used less then half the allowed distance.

That would depend on what they laws are, how they are written, and who they are written by. Do you think the guys who wrote these guidelines understand suspension tuning?

Yeah, that sounds reasonable, but who gets to decide how much modification is allowed? Because we can all agree that laws that allow no modifications from stock what so ever are stupid, and its unlikely that there is database somewhere of every single mod you can make to every single car showing what is and isn't…

My insurance only wants to know about mods if they are expected to insure them in addition to the car, and even then only if they make a significant percentage of the vehicles value. Otherwise, as long as you car can pass inspection, go nuts, they don't really care. Well if an accident report faults your modification,…

Now why in the world would US intentionally hamper post war recovery? Even if the intention was to steal as much oil as possible, as quickly as possible, civilian infrastructure would be required, and sectarian violence would not be helpful. Or do you think US invaded Iraq with the stated intention to kill as many…

I don't mean to sound as if I'm accusing you of anything. I certainly understand the desire to make sense of a confusing situation, and this is one that it is easy to become emotionally involved in.

I don't think that this analysis reveals much, aside from that Israel isn't engages in indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, for slaughters sake, which I think most people agree on. Are those males of military age non uniformed Hamas fighters? Or are Israeli troops targeting males of military age just in case they…

When, during the many years of its existence, was the UN ever not a joke? I get was it supposed to be, but it only every appears to play that role in conflicts until I read a bit more about it.

In fairness, you aren't trying to pretend either.

"...it'll cost half as much or less."

I remember seeing those races as a kid and wonder how crazy one has to be to participate. What I didn't remember was 1. How fast they are going and 2. How insanely unsafe the course is.

I'm guessing the driver was not aware that there was a (possibly injured) guy on his roof.

Tell me more of the palestinian state the israelis wiped off the map? When was it founded? By whom? What was its official currency?

Look, as with every hobby worth having, if you feel that you have enough camping gear, you are not camping hard enough.
