Positively leaps.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see another film star in the running for this one...
“Lawn Dart” always seemed rather evocative...
Operating from 62000ft above ground to 6ft below.
They’ll be without their social umbilical cord for hours. They might well just walk into traffic as a result.
It’s simple enough - destroy the thing they love most in the whole world.
Yeah, the breaker bar is going to be breaking other things...
Fair point - that’s what I meant when I said it would mess with the headlights - that it would mean that the normal auto-leveling wouldn’t happen.
That may mess with the headlights though - it will very likely be the same sensor that's used in both cases.
Likely just measures the height of the rear suspension using the same signal/sensors as the headlight level.
They’ve expressly said they won't deny warranty claims on that basis, though I suppose that taking them at their word may be unwise.
Things tend to cost more than the sum of their parts...
Henry Rollins does not approve.

Almost certainly vaporisation, yep - though that is a result of energy transfer into the water, which is an electrical charge in the case of lightning (you can get instantaneous water heaters that work on the same principle, they just don't have the capacity to dump anything like as much energy into the water).
Gynophobe!
