Re. College: Is a toaster oven allowed? And screw the rules, bring an electric skillet anyway.

Looks like a Fusion coupe.

Isn't this ultimately more of a traction test than a power/torque test, since they're both spinning their tires?

By what measure is a Prius a luxury vehicle?

Amish can use some technology. The dairy farmers need to keep their milk refrigerated. I think they usually have diesel generators to run the refrigeration system. The carpenters can use power tools, because they wouldn't be able to compete with non-amish carpenters otherwise. Their horse-drawn buggies are

I don't think that Mr. Noll is criticizing the likelihood of an accident of some point, he's criticizing Mr. Musk for asserting that there is ZERO RISK of anything ever going wrong. No activity has zero risk. I'm sitting on my bed right now, and there's a risk that a meteorite from tonight's meteor shower could

The altitude thing isn't entirely nonsensical. It's the grip onto high angles thing that I can't make heads or tails of.

Another excerpt from the article: "Indeed, throughout the 1980s, the powerful turbo was the F1 engine of choice, able to perform at high altitudes and grip onto steep angles."

Your BMW may well be able to hit 155mph, but I'd like to see it do that all day without overheating.

Re. title: I think you've got "Segway" and "Tesla" mixed up.

I'm not super familiar with the civic wagon. I do know that the back seat of the current focus is absolutely useless if your front seat person is anywhere near six feet tall.

What's wrong with that? If you're not passing people, move to the right. Them's the rules.

+1. In 2010, I found myself doing 90 in a 1991 Camry. It was actually the prevailing traffic speed, believe it or not. Sketchy as fuck indeed. A few months later, I hit 110 accidentally while driving a 2006 Passat. Wasn't even trying to drive very fast, the car just felt so solid that I didn't notice. I don't

Depends on the setting. If you're on that "world's loneliest road" in Nevada or whatever, you can do whatever the hell you want and I won't judge you for it. Most places aren't like that though. Also, although cars have improved dramatically, your reflexes haven't. That said, I'd be all for 100mph speed limits on

Kinja ruined your link.

I think we have a winner for "worst trunk size:vehicle size ratio"

Re. passengers only taking 1/10 of a G of lateral acceleration: If you bank the corners, you can turn that lateral force into vertical force and push it way up.
