So is a heart attack.

Damn I wish one of these riders had a gopro mounted. Sounds like it’s every bit as bad as people have speculated - i.e. he physically tried to force riders off the road with the truck.

Jesus christ, the kid and his family haven’t even issued a single apology yet?

More stars here, folks.  Finally we have some background info.

This needs more attention from the author.

The 6 cyclists’ attorneys have a good write-up about the accident and how they’re proceeding.

This being Texas, some of the cyclists must also own trucks. It would probably help (public opinion-wise) to have a picture in a local newspaper of one of the bandaged cyclists standing next to their pickup truck. Unless it’s a Honda Ridgeline, of course.

Okay thank you for perfectly describing the handling of NFS: Hot Pursuit. I bought the remaster and I still love the game but my god that shit has always bugged me. Like it doesn’t keep the game from being good, it doesn’t stop me from enjoying it, but it’s never not noticeable. I tell my friends it’s like driving a…

This kid needs a baseball bat to the knees.

You must mean the most important vehicle in the Back to the Future franchise. The producers spent three entire films of a movie franchise focusing on a time travelling Delorean, and totally missed the star of the show.

If there’s not already a Wendell Scott documentary, there should be.

Right? Some extremely intelligent, talented people have put a lot of time into developing this stuff. Divine intervention played precisely no part.

My issue with halo was that it wouldn’t prevent certain accidents such as Felipe Massa’s incident at Hangaroring in 2009, which is cited as a reason for its introduction in the first place. The Indy solution would have, or at least significantly slowed the suspension debris to the point where it would have caused less…

‘cause it doesn’t look like an open cockpit, said the ancient sticks-in-the-mud.

i don’t quite understand how head protection such as the halo was ever controversial

I can’t stress enough how important it is to carry GOOD uninsured/underinsured injury coverage. it’s dirt cheap, and it will save your ass if you are ever put in a shitty position by another driver. (it’ll also cover things like lost wages too)

You know it is coming in the Ala Grande Culo edition 

Needs a wing. 

I light search of my local CL shows plenty of decent Toyota’s for 5k with less than 150k miles on them. There’s a very good reason why a 150k Toyota costs the same as a similar 100k Nissan.

+1 for the “Things without CVT’s” blurb at the end.
