It doesn't look like they have even done this testing on most vehicles. And when they did it on midsize luxury/near luxury they had a lot of marginal and failure:

Agreed, Toyota has fun trucks and SUVs that actually go offroad still and the FRS is what the rear wheel drive Corolla GT was evolving toward, I would love a powerful sports car (remember that brief moment in the early 90s when Toyota had a turbo Supra and a turbo MR2?). If you want to make fun of boring cars today…

Refraction isn't hypothetical, it splits, but does not shift, a combined frequency source like "white" light into each wavelength that already existed in the original source which refracts at a different angle so each one is visible. The light is not changing wavelengths, just showing all of the wavelengths that exist…

I may have misunderstood you, but Joelja was pointing out that they are in narrow bands which makes filtering them out so that no energy from the laser reaches the eye a fairly simple task. The simple precautions are very effective against narrow bands which why it's important that they are narrow bands. The power…

Not if they are are filtered out... It's just like sunglasses blocking all UV while allowing visible light, the qty of UV is irrelevent. In this case a lot of pilot helmets and the exterior glass of the cockpits are coated with coating that reflect or absorb the common frequencies used by lasers. So the the pilots in…

Oh man all the Mormons I knew growing up owned full size vans and everyone called them BMWs (Big Mormon Wagons).

Only because they aren't required to be safe and clean like nuclear or any of the sustainables, nuclear's cost includes disposal of waste and safety equipment, the coal equivelant is with CCS which is crazy expensive and we are moving towards requiring that due to the realization that the affects from the pollution…

Coal is on some base level "cheap" but it is subsudized and one of the major subsidies is that coal mines are largely on govt land leased well below FMV:

See you and I disagree on this. I think coal has huge "hidden costs" and subsidies involved with it that throw the numbers. Coal is not any cheaper than solar by the time you pay for all the damages and get rid of subsidies. I believe solar and wind in the right locations have become competitive. Check out Germany's…

I worked at one of the first stations in my state to institute "pay first".
The anger, and stupidity was amazing. People had hundreds of terrible reasons that they should be the exception. Some of the best:

1. Where I come from we white folk don't have to pay first. ( This was in NM at a gas station/tourist trap on a…

I muddled the discussion by mentioning power plants, I was trying compare gasoline production costs to e-gas, not solar to coal or oil.
When you look at resources you have to compare resources to procure and create gasoline since cars don't, for the most part, burn crude or coal. So the cost of the e-gas has to be…

I think you would have to consider it in terms of resources used. Right now building a wind farm or solar array is cheaper than drilling for gasoline (hence the lack of gasoline powered power plants) and is fast approaching the cost of drilling and fracking for CNG.

Unless you park a Daewoo.

Excuse my ignoreance, but what are these?

Purple, exec spot at Nike. Probably someone could tell you exactly whos car it was from the company.

His convertible probably has less power and is easier to drive in the rain...

Dear Polyphony,
Please include actual sound fx and engine noise from game in trailers. Soundtrack unimpressive and unimportant. Also ground view cameras need ground shake/ wind whip just for the hell of it.

Hopefully you also negotiated not paying a monthly fee...

I've done it before. I usually start the conversation with "I'd like to cancel my card".

Give Portland a few years and we'll be on this list. We are building a $3.5B bridge across the Columbia. http://www.columbiarivercrossing.org/
