Are things like DVDs that most people don't ingest on a regular basis as dangerous as water bottles, which leach the stuff into drinking water? #bisphenolacausesimpotence

If a guy wants to beat the crap out of his own car with a plastic bat, then more power to him as long as nothing's going to fly off into some poor guy's face.

It's too human. When I have voice-activation on in my computer, I sure as heck don't talk to it like it's a secretary.

What if Ford, GM, and Chrysler merged? Not any one buying the other, just all of them coming together as one and consolidating themselves into something continually profitable.

@LTDScott, Porcubimmer pilot: That's about what I thought. Thanks! :D

Okay I've been wondering... how much does it usually cost to run one of these races (per team)?

The Prius is good at what it's designed to do, and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to spend $25-30k on a car and doesn't care about power or driving dynamics or character or anything.

@LionZoo: But couldn't they make it a little less blobby and more fighter-jet-aerodynamic-y-looking?

Couldn't you just get 40 gallons of vegetable oil before you leave?

Renouncing millenia of technology is not the way of the future. For the sake of everyone else, please: next time you stick your head in a dumpster, ask someone to close the lid.

@Ash78: Normal? Make it look like a Tatra. The ones that have something like a 20% better Cd.

Is it a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube condom?

@BenMGC-GT: Is that all you can think about at a time like this? Damn dragons...

@mechimike: You, sir, would be surprised.

Is it just me or are 90% of these things from people being way too full of themselves? If everyone just accurately represented who they are wouldn't we all be happier?

The only place I've seen one of these is at an amusement park in exurban Salt Lake City. Seems incredibly appropriate.

The Insight, at least in its current form, definitely looks better. I'll give it that.

This technology is ALL good, you guys. It's when to use it appropriately, and when to provide an off switch, that matters.

@Feds: Turbos have good torque though.
