Personally, I insist on being able to slip around like an otter on a water slide, while getting blinded from sunlight reflecting off every possible surface at the same time.

Coolest thing about the C4 ZR-1 is that the fenders don’t just flare out more - the body of the car is stretched from the inside. Look at the distance between brake lights between a ZR1 (left) and a base C4 (right). -pic from some guy on a corvette forum

Nope, there is a right wing narrative that facts can no longer stop.

I saw so many posts from immediately after the incident that day, proclaiming that Biden’s policies were clearly responsible for the “terrorist attack”. And yet I’m sure that none of those posters ever acknowledged how wrong they were, nor did any of their followers question anything else fed to them by those posters.

Probably cause gas prices to rise too, somehow.

Maybe if cops gave appropriate tickets and people lost their licenses for unsafe driving we could have nice things.”

Are you being serious with this title and this comment?

So this is probably 0.0000000001% of the wheat supply. So we should expect a 15% increase in wheat prices right?

Fox finally got it right! The wealthy are the terrorists in America! 

All those right-wingers (ie Laura Loomer, et al) saying this was a terrorist attack, and that an Iranian passport was found near the wreckage. I highly doubt they’ll recant what they posted on social media...

Remember when this was being reported as terrorism... that evaporated quickly.

Barrier curbs (including on medians and edge of traveled way) are a known launching item above 45 mph; it’s why you have posted speed limits of 45 mph wherever curbs are. At that speed, they become the hazard. 

I also only saw a single angle of the incident on the NYT website and I have no clue how someone could determine that the driver was on the brakes. It’s possible the authorities have access to another recording that’s more telling, but we aren’t certain.

I fully agree, I’ve watched the YouTube videos where folks test different barrier designs and they’re supposed to be designed to avoid turning a car into a missile. It must have been a sloped divider that turned into a ramp.

My wife and I were driving down a two lane road and I brought up the question “what would you do if I ever became incapacitated behind the wheel, and my foot came to rest on the accelerator pedal, causing the vehicle to accelerate”? Here response, what should I do? I responded that she should push the shift lever to

This is the distinction between prescribed use and abuse. Often too much of a prescription drug can, like, have some bad effects. 

First thing I noticed. When the author mentioned he likes seeing it towing something, that picture did nothing for me. If I’m buying this truck I want to see it towing some 40ft+ boat that barely belongs on a trailer in the first place.

I doubt that gets enforced anywhere.....I see it all over the place and have never heard of anyone getting hassled. Which is freaking annoying when getting pelted with stones (and I have a flat-front windshield vehicle so extra frustrating)

Pictures of it taking up three parking spaces is appropriate.  

That was part of the Top Gear attitude (of that era) that took me a season or two to understand - the banter was just cover for the fact they they were mean girls.
