Not in “regular school buses (as opposed to van-based buses, which might, but not for the reasons you’re thinking), which is why the seats are designed the way they are, with super-tall backs so in a frontal impact you just fly into the back of the seat in front of you.

Holy shit. I am both excited to see how this one turns out because that car has got to be frighteningly fun to drive and because it has no rust

If Greinke could travel back in time to around 1980 he could face Mike Hargrove and stop the earth from revolving.

Yeah he has some flaws but...

Finding something that somebody else paid for and then claiming it is free is one of the major tenets of libertarianism.

Ah yes, the libertarian who works in the “financial sector” and has a girlfriend who is a model in Canada, you wouldn’t know her.

Wow, I guess this 40+ suburban dad needs to dump his G35 so he can graduate from community college.

I’m not sure they would say that, it’s a little too on the nose. Maybe something like
