Almost too beautiful... I'd feel bad driving it. Tentative NP.

It seems pretty clear to me that the motorcyclist is the primary idiot in this unfortunate incident.

Maybe it was, and that's actually a horse in the lead photo!

Neutral: Only one I've driven is the Focus, which I thought was pretty terrific.

I know very little about 928's. I do know that homemade convertibles are usually trouble, and misspelling the car's make is not a good sign either. If this were a stock 928 for the same price, I'd call it a NP.

Some people do that, but they often have foam/rubber pads on their bumpers to avoid damage.

ya beat me.

That ain't no crane, Mr. Orlove.

A rusty old Alfa that you'll never be able to find any parts for?

If I were buying one to use as my only car, I'd get the focus, no question. Because practical with 5 seats and a big trunk. The FRS is probably more fun though, so I'd prefer that as a second car.

An Element? It's clearly a Range Rover.

My issue is with Jason's illustration of his beetle pulling a truck. Using a pound of force to pull something is very different from pulling something that weighs a pound. Or 16,500 pounds, as the case may be.

Note: All of those weights and distances and such are for pulling something straight up into the air. i.e, your 50 hp beetle can lift the big rig 100 feet in the air in one minute. That's much harder than pulling it 100 feet along the ground.

GPS guided missiles have been around for many, many years. Car GPS systems generally aren't capable of broadcasting your location. There are exceptions, such as OnStar. Or your cell phone, which can be tracked extremely easily.

If the train was going 120mph, it was pretty close to the speed of the plane crash. No train I've ever been on has had seatbelts. That includes Amtrak's high speed-ish Acela.

False! The driver's facebook posts were far from mature, but they didn't show him speeding. Most of the track has a much higher speed limit.

"Sure, it's just a Prius" Looks like a Lexus crossovermajig to me...

What's a klaxon?

Yeah, I think Jalopnik just broke speedlist.
