You acquire family through no fault of your own.......

The impact was on the passenger side of her car, so I’m guessing she did, swerving left into the oncoming lane to avoid the Sequoia.

Only heroic in a fire or when there’s something like a train bearing down on you. Otherwise it’s panicked and potentially very stupid.

Just make sure they buckle up in your car. You would be amazed how much damage an unrestrained ‘meat cannon-ball’ can do to everyone else in the car during a crash...

It happens. It happens faster than you think. And the speeds required to sheer a car in half like that, I’ll bet it happened very very fast.

Rule number one in first aid: don’t move the injured unless there is immediate danger.

Kudos to those bystanders for attending to the victims in place instead of dragging them out/away from their vehicles. Let the trained professionals move crash victims unless there’s a pressing need to not wait.

I think the GM engineers are all trading in their Impalas for Sequoias.

My first thought as well. GM will want this car and immediately start analyzing. Yes, the driver is amazingly still alive, but that seems like just crazy luck. To have a car just split like that is beyond my comprehension. The front of that truck was just destroyed though - and it weights 1.5 - 2x the car’s…

Why? She already won.

I love this car. It shows American automotive engineering at its best. Its crazy that they got almost 700 horses out of its V6. But 2 main things are a turnoff for me about the car: the price and Fords ridiculous selection program for buyers.

Just for you, Jason:

So don’t piss off scumbag billionaires? Well, then no one should ever report anything against vindictive thin skinned billionaires. let’s move on.

You “have to read” this? Someone forced you to click on this article and read it? Fuck off

Publicly traded companies have a responsibility to share holders to sell an object at the highest possible price relative to cost. If we have protectionist policies that artificially raise the price of foreign competition, US manufacturers will have no incentive to improve cars when they can go toe to toe in the…

Neutral: What happens now?

Sad thing is Trump and his flunkies have yet to articulate what they consider a “better deal” to be with these trade agreements. The interviewer for the Economist asked him point blank about it and he couldn’t answer the question. He seems obsessed about trade deficits and has no clue what a VAT really is.

Other than Tesla, not really.

We already produce globally uncompetitive cars upon which US makers are completely reliant. They’re called pickup trucks.
