This is the only correct EV/HV sound.

I was about to ask how this could have been overlooked, but I know why. It’s 46 years old. Exidy’s Death Race - where the object was to hit and kill pedestrians with your car. When you hit them, they would “scream” and turn into a tombstone that you had to avoid while you drove around trying to add additional body…

Soon to appear at a tweaker camp near you.

I’m in the collision repair segment - while it does happen and I dont have any statistics to back it up, my experience has been that its relatively rare that rollover accident damage is minor enough to be repaired. If it winds up on its top, it’s done and the cost of that glass isn’t gonna make a bit of difference.

My dad worked with those when I was young. I remember going to work with him and getting to “play” with the huge machines - loading them up and running them with designated “test” cards.

Seems that should be the expectation but to get through that canvas (plus headliner) with any margin of error the roll bar would need either some sharp edges or points to initiate the cut which wouldn’t be desirable from a normal occupant safety situation. Safety glass is pretty much guaranteed to give way.

Looks like the third choice is for those that hate punctuation

Weird fun fact - the point of this “sunroof” in the convertible top is to allow the roll bar to punch through when deploying in a rollover.

I was thinking the exact same thing. TBH I could see the same thing with the cruise. In my daily life I dont drive long or far enough to use it but should I take a long road trip, I might pony up the $20 to have it for that trip.

“A crash is imminent.  Would you like to renew your airbag subscription?”

What you did there - I see it.

Came here to proclaim much the same thing.  Never gladder to have been beaten to it.  All hope for humanity would have been lost if that particular nugget (pun totally intended) flew under the radar.

Shopping for my first car in 1984. I had 2 grand and found a 1971 Chevelle with a 396 at a used car lot that ran and drove rather decently. They were asking 2 grand and wouldnt budge on the price - I was about $200 short and asked my parents to help - I needed their signatures anyway since I was still a minor.

The rumours of its demise have been greatly exaggerated. Yes, it has been sold as a cutaway only after 2014. It took MY20 off when they discontinued the V10 and replaced it with the Godzilla 7.3.  Now available as a cutaway and bare chassis. https://www.fleet.ford.com/showroom/commercial-trucks/e-series-cutaway/2023/

The current Patty and Selma van twins are based on a platform that dates back to 1996.

He was trying to indicate that this was pretty much the last cam-in-block engine Ford had, where everything else had gone t0 OHC (Over-Head Cam). The new Godzilla 7.3 brought OHV back to Ford.

They finally buckled down, earned a great SAT score, and got into a good collage.

NUKE FROM ORBIT.

SAMIR! YOU’RE BREAKING THE CAR!

Daddy! The top came off!
