What do the IS, GS or LS match up to? They each use a different architecture than any Toyota model sold in the US.

A roll cage only works well when you're wearing a harness and helmet, and the helmet adds to the risk of neck injury unless a HANS device is used. It's not going to help you much when your bare head slams into it in a crash.

So I was bored and decided to some math, and the primary controlling factor is the point at which the cable connects to the aircraft. For any loading condition there is a certain critical point where the cable snapping would flip the aircraft. As long as the cable is attached ahead of this point then the cable…

Depending on the force vector it will either start quickly gaining altitude or flip over and crash.

If the tire is 7 feet in diameter then these people must be 10 feet tall!

Environmentalist fail. Is there an automotive technology on the market that doesn't offer a risk of fire?

Texas is spot on. The local NWS office puts out a special weather statement every time the overnight temperature may drop below freezing; it's ridiculous how unprepared some people are for cold weather.

It's not increasing exponentially, not even linearly at this point. In fact, the current M3 is lighter than the last one.

I live in Houston, and most of the people like you described above are either old or stupid. They have political control of the state but it really doesn't make a huge impact on my day-to-day life. Our mayor is a lesbian, Planned Parenthood has a strong presence, there's smoke shops everywhere, the immigrant…

I've heard that In-N-Out gets worse the further East you go, and Whataburger gets worse the further West you go.

The jet ski 310 has 50% more displacement, direct drive, and much less driveline shock. It also uses seawater for cooling, which means it has a nearly unlimited supply of cold water to keep it cool. On top of all that the jet skis aren't usually raced or even used regularly. All of these factors make it more viable to…

As a former MSC employee I have met a lot of MSC sailors, and I can tell you that the average civilian sailor in the MSC knows exactly what situations they might be involved with and they expect that when they sign up for the job. In theory they don't have to comply with orders but it would have to be an exceptionally…

In an idea that could have only been conceived by Italians, Lancia shoehorned a 3.0 L V8 transversely into their FWD Thema sedan. The motor was based on the one in the 308 and Mondial and built by Ducati. Oddly, it used a cross plane crankshaft instead of the trademark Ferrari flat-plane.

The pre-production name for the Macan.

You mean the Macan?

The opinion that the primary cause of the war was annexation of Canada is not well supported, and is currently a minority opinion among historians.

B-52s will barely pull 1g, much less 10g. As a result there is much less stress on the airframe and they will last much longer than fighters.

500 pounds per acre on a million acres is enough for every man, woman, and child in America to smoke 2 grams daily. It's safe to say that we don't need anywhere close to that amount.

For most cars:

This would make for a sweet El Camino
