I suspect the tires would destroy themselves either by centrifugal force or by heat well before mach 1. It is difficult and expensive to make tires that survive beyond 200mph. Basic Corolla tires would stand no chance to extreme speed!

A hypothetical Corolla traveling at mach 139 brings up a lot of fun questions:

95 + 116 = 211 mega tons

A ship can drop anchor in an attempt to avert a collision, but given the Dali’s size, speed and distance from the bridge, such a move most likely wouldn’t have helped, said Morgan McManus, an instructor at SUNY Maritime College in New York who has worked on cargo ships and tankers.

Our Toyota dealer tried to sell us a 3rd party protection plan that duplicated some services already in the Toyoguard Platinum plan. I had to try way too hard to get them to realize this and remove it.

That chart represents Imports. What is GM building overseas and selling in North America?

And that’s just in MARCH...what in the world are they shipping? A few hundred Outlanders and those Fuso trucks?

Darn it, my brand new Suzano Pulp Sport was on that boat...

Is there a car that has the charging port in a more conspicuous place?  It looks very poorly placed.

You are hinting at Total Cost of Ownership, which is often glossed over in discussions about buying cars. I think a lot of people are lured in by one aspect of TCO without knowing all costs and making a measured decision. Or they make assumptions without really doing the math.

Never thought I’d be reading about Mercedes improving the aerodynamics of the G-Wagen.

Another inevitable American butchering would be something like “See-at”

The evolution of the Cupra brand is strange.

Of the millions of stock aviation photos out there, you picked the one with a strange puff of smoke?

That may not sound like much power by today’s standards, but if you remember, the 2005 Ford Mustang GT still had a 4.6-liter V8 that only made 300 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque.

ATL is consistently #1 or #2 in terms of annual passenger traffic. As efficient as the airport is, construction and temporary signage in recent years can make it confusing to know where to go after baggage claim. Even as a frequent ATL flyer myself, I still have to stop and look. There are plenty of people coming in

The lights have a green tint in the last 2 pictures. Is that just a bad editing job?

There are plenty of old, used cars that have heated seats.  Also, Floridians probably consider 60F to be “cold”.

Say what you want about the price, but this car absolutely lived up to it’s name.
