How so? From a safety perspective, there’s not a whole lot you can do to make a motorcycle (as apart from the gear on the rider) safer in a crash. You *could* have a motorcycle airbag, that offers some protection, but short of turning the motorcycle into a car, there’s not much else.

So Onstar will predict severe head trauma for Hennessy CTS-V owners at the dragstrip?

Chevy cavalier is completely appropriately named - the lack of general concern (for the driver) and carelessness (in assembly) precisely describe the car.

It’s a car that uses non-takata airbags. i.e. SaFeR.

First car? For $25K? A first gen Honda Insight. It’s a stick, but doesn’t have really any power and skinny tires, so momentum based shenanigans generally occur at relatively low speeds. Recent enough to have decent crash standards, but stripped down to reduce distractions and cramped enough to reduce the chances of…

push off and drift. same as if you are sitting in one of those shopping carts with full 4 wheel steering and the floor is lava. not that i have first hand knowledge or anything...

Granted it may be difficult to walk in reduced gravity, but why would you need to walk in zero gravity? Can’t you just float?

yes. it’s called google maps.

so your order took basically a quarter of the life cycle of the mk6 just to build...

Plus these are stupid fun on a tight track. You're capped at about 90ish for the straights, but the turns! Sportbikes would blow by me in the straight, but i'd easily catch up and pass them in the corners... on the outside, leg out.

I want one of these to join my "street" bike and track beater... Tame enough to start on, but hoonable....

Only because they didn’t run the test in TX, bro...

Hold on, let me get a hose and some gloves for you....

Yes, the percentages may be different in asia/africa, but there the dividing line is more along the lines of, will you survive a 25 mph crash in it?

I think you missed the point. The sign is for the busybody (who is probably so full of themselves that they won’t bother to read anyways). The person pulling off the smash and grab is probably not going to take the time and read an overblown warning label. If they didn’t notice the kid, their not going to notice the…

“There’s exponentially less risk associated with every one of those scenarios you listed...” Where are you numbers? Are they the back of the rectum type of numbers?

per wikipedia, but for causation still requires some element of secondary analysis, such as foreseeability (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximate…).

Letters, paper, stamps? What are these things of which you speak?

And then you have Texas where it’s equal parts lux SUV and lux truck.

Also the Honda Odyssey, Suburbans, and Chevy and Ford trucks (but NOT the heavy duty or Rams). These cars are tools that are useful across the spectrum.
