Couldn’t we shoot those with a BMI in the triple digits directly through the tube? Stuff them in, create vacuum in front of them, and - flummpp...

Hmm - if you took out the guts, it could probably hold the contents of two XXXX tinnies ...

If you need a chair on the beach, you’re doing it wrong.

Does that touchscreen work with gloves? Because, you know...

This. Many situations during driving are ambiguous - and so far, this can’t be handled well enough by a computer.

It’s also unlikely that you tune your radio, adjust the mirrors, AND look over your shoulder at the same time. Plenty of studies out there that show that being on…

Well - I wouldn’t say there was no tax advantage. Annual tax on your vehicle (=registration) is based on engine displacement; the smaller, the lower, of course. I remember that, back in the day, something like a 3-liter engine was considered huge, and something only the well-heeled could afford...

What about a functioning health care system, secondary education system, a free higher education system, and telecom companies that don’t constantly screw you over?

Hyundais have engines!?

Or: they could just get a few unmarked SUVs that allow officers to peek into the cars from above, and nail everyone who’s texting on the spot. Given that about every 4th or so a$$hole is texting while driving nowadays, that should provide a nice stream of revenue.

1989 Ford Taurus?
