Cars have been getting way, way, way safer, inarguably due largely to the results from the IIHS testing. Pretty tough to spin that.

Good stuff, and as factual as it is, with the variables involved it’s just an opinion piece when it comes to this particular event. And, regardless, it also has no bearing on heroism.

THIS, I appreciate.

I wonder sometimes if maybe Cadillac ought to go HUGE in product placement in a big movie. One that is designed with the car in mind, and would demonstrate the brand image that they are trying to project. I’m not convinced that individual commercials themselves are going to give the image jolt that Caddy requires at…

Counterpoint: Everything you think you know about heroism is wrong.

Because why? You get confused?

Obviously, I voted CP, but I still can’t help rooting for the little fella.

Huh. After an initial violent retching, I..... I kinda’ see where he’s going with this.

I’m not sure there are any mechanics still alive that know their way around the 4+3.

Indeed. Back when these were new, I *personally* saw two, on separate occasions, blow their head gaskets. Two of the first three I’d ever seen in the wild.

Actually, putting that vent there shows attention to automotive detail way above and beyond the norm in things like this. I’m kinda impressed.

Rarely.

I’ll bet there’s about as much Mini left in the Mini as there is Dakar left in the Dakar.

I sleep better believing there is a madman with an axe chasing them.

Yeah. It was a rhetorical question. My point was that he was using the wrong term in “pull” and figured I’d try to help, um, straighten him out.

I quickly discovered that the steering wheel wanted to pull a little to the right.

Wow. It’s all so simple! You did it!

I have a comprehensive collection of every baby seat and stroller made that wasn’t eventually recalled.

I almost just went to the Carmax site just now. I don’t need a car and resisted, but I’ll bet a lot of people aren’t as unfathomably strong-willed as I am.

Lol.
