nope. not the same thing at all. your strawman argument is made of straw.

out of 7800 accidents, 1100 were lanesplitting (14%) of which 0 would have happened if motorcyclists wouldn’t have been lanesplitting. sure, maybe a few more non-lanesplitting accidents would have happened, but not 1100, probably not even 100.

from the actual report (rather than the gizmag spin piece, http://www.ots.ca.…

so, yes, it sucks. but it sucked waaaay less than comparable american cars (hello ford fairmont, plymouth reliant) of the time. this and the Pontiac 6000 STE were the first post malaise era american sedans to make a serious attempt at not sucking balls to drive.

source for your statistics?

lane splitting on a jammed highway is also a different situation than lane splitting in stop and go traffic, as in one, you are getting more flow through a congested artery and in the other, you are just hopping to the front of the line, where you will be another vehicle who’s reaction…

as a motorcyclist myself I tell you you are full of crap. you are cutting in line, you are delaying everybody you have just jumped in front of and you are being a dick.

lane splitting/filtering may be legal, but it is still a dick move and if you get doored/cut off or otherwise damaged it is on nobody but you.

oh shut up already. we get it, you are a personally offended that the BBC is not a profit making business. I for one am thankful that it isn’t, because if it was, we never would have had Monty Python, Dr Who, Red Dwarf, or roughly 90% of american television which is usually a cheap ripoff of a BBC show.

regardless of actual value of the jeep, there is no good reason to do business with a thumper nutjob.

so, under the Scalia interpretation, the second amendment protects my personal individual right to a fully auto .50 cal, a jesse ventura in predator minigun, a shoulder fired SAM, a 60mm mortar, hand greandes, a shoulder mount recoilless rifle, LAWS and Javelin anti-tank missiles, claymore mines (aka, a hunk of C4…

old white guy in a convertible volvo exercising his 2nd Amendment rights....

if he had a good tan, a beard and was wearing a Keffiya he would have been shot by a god fearing ‘murican before he got 3 miles down the road.

neither the car, nor the tire were the problem, it was, as ever, the idiots behind the wheel loading 5000 lbs of cargo and a speedboat on a trailer onto a car with a 5000 lb GVWR on under-inflated tires that they should have replaced 20,000 miles ago.

the 1st gen Explorer was actually a damn good truck, being a Ford…

10 out of 10 would hoon. 10 out of 10 would not say “no thanks” if offered a chance to drive.
might be a disappointment as a 911, but not as a car.
if you want a car that induces sadness, shame and self loathing then you need look no further than any Chryseler or AMC product

“Ford’s patented plasma transferred wire arc cylinder-liner technology” wasn’t honda doing this with their 2 stroke dirt bikes back in the late ‘70s/early ‘80’s? nikasil over bare aluminum?

I seem to recall people hated it because the cylinder became a throwaway piece instead of being able to be bored and honed.

not so…

you do realize that the only thing whimsical about a classic bug is that you are somehow still driving one of those 35 horsepower, spare tire powered windshield wipered, nazi developed, unheated sh1tbox deathtraps.

meh. I have no sympathy for a bunch of rich entitled douchebags being told not to act like rich entitled douchebags.

the team gets the prize money, not the driver, unless he has it written into his contract.

the fact that it took place in a country that couldn’t give the tiniest flying fsck about soccer, while generating the highest all time attendance and having the lowest infrastructure cost ($0) makes it the winner.

the one time in american history where a bunch of politicians and wealthy campaign contributors weren’t…

except those are Nine Inch Nails lyrics.....

in 1976, my dad custom ordered a Ford LTD Wagon with heavy duty everything, dark shit brown, 400m 4bbl (that’s 4 barrels of gasoline per mile...)

took 4 weeks from order to delivery, easy peasy.

haven’t these morons got something better to do with their time, like, i dunno, kicking puppies?
