The problem is that those canopies protect from front impact by deflecting most of the energy. The impact that killed Dan was from above when his car flew into the fence support post, so the canopy most likely wouldn't have protected him in that instance.

Hey, before you leave do you mind handing out a bunch of stars? You know, kind of like how you used to get goody bags when you were a little kid at other kids birthday parties?

Actually, prosaic is only worth 11 points.

Good luck man. Also, I expect you to be back here with a COTD winner within the next week...

Now all we need is an AWD version!

I would keep the normal key for when someone else was driving...

No. Don't encourage him. BAD Speigel. No more Chuck Testa for you!

Unions suck*

You need to be more optimistic about life dude. Something great could be just around the corner.

So if I drive a stick, but like Frosted Flakes... then what?

+17½

Without a doubt the best COTD that I have EVER read. I feel totally the same way, in fact, the E46 M3 is still my favorite BMW ever made. Represent!
