My mom can drive a manual and my girlfriend is perfectly safe behind the wheel. I've got plenty of guy friends that I trust less behind the wheel than both of them. A bad, inattentive driver is a bad, inattentive driver regardless of gender - but if we're sticking with gender stereotypes, I'm willing to bet that

My first pick (the Lotus everything) was already taken, so I'll throw the nod to the Ariel Atom. It adheres so strongly to Chapman's philosophy that they didn't even add body panels! That, my friends, equals more pounce for the ounce.

@Number_Six: I think we all deal with it in our own ways. I personally didn't want to watch the videos of accidents with fatalities, but allowing people to witness these tragic events that happened before they were alive is important.

@Eteyos: Well, _I_ think I'm a nice guy. Most people tend to agree with me.

@mikeado: Dayum, girl... what's your name?

@John Carter: I'll help, it's this one. This is the one; yet another wonder-mobile that I learned about (and drive like hell) thanks to Gran Turismo.

Wow, what a fascinating and informative read.

@SamuraiNigel: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a celebrity in our midst! Let me be the first to welcome Akido Toyoda to Jalopnik.

I suddenly feel much more professional about my repairs.

I see plenty of topless miatas at the track.

@mechimike: They live in a world where they only need warnings for non-obvious dangers, like steps. If you need a warning that a bloody great flame is going to shoot out the rear of a jet engine, maybe rocket science isn't your destiny.

@Matt Hardigree: Luckily, you omitted "70's hearse", so that can still be punk.

So now there are TWO demographics in Florida that will swallow anything when it comes to cars.

@Unevolved has three moving parts.: I can't decide if I want that safety tech in cars so that I don't have to worry about terrible drivers killing me, of if I don't want it so that people take driving more seriously.

@Baby Beater Benz: I think that struck me as funnier than expected because I've been playing a lot of Dirt 2 lately and ignoring the "don't cut instructions of my co-driver".

I don't want to be one of those jaded internet guys who hatse on anything lacking sweet explosions or cleavage, but that wasn't too impressive. I had to watch their little tail grind replay a few times before I understood what was going on.

It still kinda looks like the Warner Brother shield to me.

I'm no structural engineer, but I can't imagine that the weight of that crane really did it, considering that the top floor still has... 6 spaces available? Look how uniformly that collapsed, it doesn't seem like a heavy weight concentrated in one spot would cause a collapse of that nature.

@Torokun: This is how every big creative industry works. I really wish I'd known all this when I was a starry-eyed kid, maybe I'd have been a cop instead.
