Was that bad meaning bad or bad meaning good?

I agree with most of your points, except the one about hockey being difficult to explain. I think it's on par with basketball (when we're considering someone who has never been exposed to it). Baseball and football are WAY tougher to explain.

I completely forgot about RSL. I haven't been to one of their games yet (shame on me), but I hear they have a raucous crowd.

I would love to see an NHL team in Salt Lake, but I doubt it will happen in my lifetime. Here's a couple points though about attendance.

Ever since watching The Matrix, I've been a huge fan of the early to mid-60s Lincoln Continentals. It's kind of a shame that so many of them look like this:

When he's good, it's him. When he's bad, it's the team.

Are we really arguing that someone besides Rose is the greatest of all time?

Small quibble, check the chart, it's not every day.

Posting up your intimate marital issues on reddit strikes me as a bit immature as well. Seems they both have some growing up to do.

First, "Generally" and "Broadly speaking" have nothing to do with SmartCars. You can quote statistics about all accidents all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that SmartCars react differently in accidents than other cars because they were designed to react differently. Your generalized statements and studies

Another quick analogy, in NASCAR (since that seems like it might be more up your alley), compare a wreck where a driver hits a wall head-on at 180mph vs one where they tumble through the infield.

Except sliding is a GOOD thing. Every little bit of ANYTHING that removes force from the initial impact is going to help you.

Your initial point (that I disputed) was about TBone accidents. I asked you why that would be different than in a real car, and you gave me some citations about front collisions.

It's ok, and welcome to the "I've seen my errors and accepted someone else's solution" side of the internet.

You are correct, physics does apply, you're just doing it wrong. Mythbusters did an excellent episode on this very subject, go look it up.

Neither of those excerpts have anything to do with TBone style crashes with SmartCars.

Figure out the difference in weight between a Malibu and a Smart, and you'll probably have some idea.
