errrm, doesn’t a mechanical magneto depend entirely on the engines operation? Happy to be shown wrong, but generally a magneto is driven directly off the engine and therefore cannot be an entirely separate system

People had (and some morons still have) that sentiment towards seatbelts... The response is the same: do people value convenience over safety? Of course this leads on to a whole other argument about different levels of safety/convenience and the undeniable fact that reducing the chances of an accident happening in the…

Had not seen this before....
Thank you so much

AT LAST! Thank you for that.

I’m a very open minded non-American and haven’t watched anything mainstream for a long time, so I’m sure most of what you’ve provided will come as no shock to me. I’m also sure that what you’ve provided will have its own little inconsistencies, but will probably paint some kind of picture…

Why would I dredge through all of Google to find the things that you (I would assume) have easily at hand to support your views? Wouldn’t I just find all the drivel with which you’re worried people will rebut you? Why waste so much time on here going back and forth, when all you had to do is post something decent? If…

For what it’s worth, I tend to agree with a lot of your sentiment (particularly about the media and the sheepish nature of the “USA! USA! USA!” crowd) and I’d like to proceed by reading one well thought out post that summarises your position and is supported by relevant links. If you think that’s pointless, then why’d…

So.... If you come into a debate and don’t offer anything other than “you’re wrong and it’s so funny to me just how wrong you are,” one has to wonder what your actual purpose is. Are you trying to educate people? No, because then you’d post something other than “lol, you’re wrong, but I won’t tell you why.” Are you…

And that right there is a disgusting admission for any first world nation, let alone the most powerful one :(

Yeah I don’t get it either. If you want to buy a car solely for it’s perceived environmental impact during highly controlled testing procedures, buy something electric (or a hybrid, or a motorbike, or a small capacity petrol car, or a pushbike). I may be wrong, but this whole buyback thing only seems to be a big issue…

Isn’t being offended at all costs/needing safe spaces a left-wing thing? I thought I was pretty even-sided with my cliches. If you ignored that along with the rest of my post, well, whatever man

It depends entirely on what you mean by ‘qualified.’ After hearing Trump’s victory speech I felt pretty good about his election. His appointments though.... ouch

Anyway, hopefully we’ll see a future where the kind of people who use phrases like “more leftist claptrap” become completely irrelevant. Likewise, hopefully…

lol.... oh man.... irony is you.

You mad bro?
I’m guessing you weren’t good enough to progress from karts and are now jealous of this kid because he didn’t choose the same path as you? That’s ok. It’s lame, but it’s ok. Maybe try harder next time?

Support them by ending your support for Team America World Police. It will do your massively over-prioritised “defence” forces (and the world) a massive favour.

^ Gross display of jealousy. He “should” do whatever the damn hell he wants. What were you doing at 13?

Yeah, for me it’s the sheer bulk of cars now. We already have safe/light/cheap solutions, but regulating bodies have an inconsistent aversion to them. I mean seriously, if you’re not looking at race car technology for safety (where people routinely walk away from very high speed crashes), why bother?

The majority of countries have 18 as the drinking age. America’s is 21 because freedom, or something.

I can smell your jealousy through the internet

That’s why police are supposed to be equipped with discretion, to be able to make real world calls on a given situation. Unfortunately that would require some original thought, which seems increasingly unlikely.
The numbers work out at around 160kph for a GT (assuming ~1300kg) to around 100kph for the 3000kg SUV. The…

Actually, (1) can also happen with a bit of a rethink of how to achieve greater efficiency. Huge improvements can be had with a focus on aerodynamics (and, in testing, this has already occurred). I don’t really care about increasing cost of trucking, because it might be the market’s way of pushing people into lower…
