+1 for this. Especially because any younger driver is going to expect "the best sports car of all time" to handle anything they (poorly) throw at it.

Porsche 911. Even though it's considered one of the best sports cars in the world, doesn't mean it won't still try and kill you if you treat it poorly.

Unless there's a grandma behind the wheel! Then they're both going to roll off the line painfully slow.

+1 this. Especially if they're under 20. Just because your massive car could probably hit anything and be fine doesn't give you a reason to tailgate and make lane changes I wouldn't try in an elise. Especially since an emergency lane change maneuver could roll your car.

As some one who used to drive their dads V6 Sebring convertible @ 17..... this is absolutely correct.

I believe both the Volt and the Karma have a petrol engine which turn a generator when your batteries die. (Making them fully electric cars with a petrol generator, vs a hybrid drive system).

Totally agree, but I think they were going for tech relating to the vehicle itself. (Except maybe pointing out the mobile labs on the space vehicles).

+1, made me laugh.

I'm impressed how calm and collected the passengers were after the accident. Double checking everyones injuries, making sure the pilot was on his side, etc. I highly doubt I'd be thinking so clearly after a plane crash.

Thank you, well said.

If 20% of first year officers really do get fired for doing something outside the rules, that's fantastic and I'm glad to hear it! However I still don't see why the officer needed to punch the car, slam the car door into a nearby taxi, throw the guy on the floor, or leave him laying in the road whilst haphazardly…

lol!

Agreed. Thanks for providing the law. There's a bit of a gray area about wether you did it knowingly etc, however any lawyer would tell you keep your mouth shut.

I don't like that we have authority that gets a pass to act poorly. Unlike many politicians and judges who get huge amounts of flack and often get removed from their position (or resign) for much smaller controversies than throwing a man out of his car, hand cuffing him, and leaving him in the street, police usually…

Hahaha, if that was a common thing to say to an officer it definitely would've made spot 1.

If a person had done what that cop did after getting their foot ran over they could easily be held for assault and have to pay the damages on the car. However as a cop, neither of those will occur since he was "doing his job".

The cops actions were not calm or thought out. His actions were not by the book, he wasn't being a good representative of the police force. It was a very emotional and personal response. I'm not saying he didn't have a personal right to bash in that guys face, because he did. I'm saying if you want to respect a cop…

Realistically the cop should've stood in front of the nose of the car to make it completely obvious if the car moved foreword it would hit him. However when some one is trying to drive away and you're focusing on a ticket, where you stand probably isn't the first thing you think of. Either way I doubt the driver…

I agree getting your foot parked on would piss you off, however I don't agree that a police officer deserves inherent respect.

Which is why in this case I'd let it slide.
