When she was a child my wife’s Father did that after a car went thru the kitchen wall and ended up in the living room... He put in a row of rocks and filled in the up hill side leveling the uphill portion of the side yard and put in a rail fence out by the road. The next car to miss the curve was a neighbors kid high…

Those signs are just there to tell emergency personnel to look for a baby when you lose control and crash into them.

Exactly! If you desire to take a curve at a slow speed, you won’t skid into a tree. But, if you desire to take curves faster than your driving skills allow for, then you will end up crashing. The real trick is to find the happy medium between the two desires.

1. Isn’t it obvious that the distracted person isn’t in proper control of their vehicle?

I wish people would stop saying “no one bought them.” They bought as many as GM would ship. It wasn’t marketed. It wasn’t special looking (though it was understated beauty with excellent proportions). And yet, even with that, they sold every one they made. Yes, I know there are a few left on dealer lots, however, it’s…

I paid $330 for my Nexus 5x and there are very few replacements in that price range at this moment which worries me a bit... because it’s powerful and good enough for me and does everything just fine. Almost to 2 years now and should be good for at least one more if it doesn’t boot loop again.

The car should still be built to SFI spec, which has an international set of safety standards for drag racing cars. A lot of NHRA specs follow SFI.

Yeah, but steel and aluminum mines are terrible for the environment, and it takes more energy to manufacture a new bicycle than a car that’s already on the road. /s

I’ve been holding my tongue for a while because enough people harp on this elsewhere. But a significant portion of the transportation solution already exists. I’m as much as a electric and petrol fan as anyone here, but also realize traffic, energy and environment are real issues:

Not only probable, but very likely. We may even see some good-old fashioned dumpster-diving (err, landfill mining) if it becomes profitable enough.

They are there so Porsche can add a $2,500 ‘Exhaust Tip Delete’ option.

What’s with the fake “exhaust” tips?

I hate it when that happens.

if that scares you then read no further
