It always creeped me out about visiting Burlington, Iowa and crossing the Mississippi River as a small child. The “pavement” of the bridge was thick grating—I assume so snow and ice could be more easily removed or accumulate less. When you travel across that bridge, the grating blurs and you literally feel like the…

No kidding...that was exactly my thought. And it’s actually happened—yeesh. If I was the passenger, I don’t believe I’d ever recover from what I experienced.

First World problems...so “awful” for you.

Pffftttt! All I see is a self-aggrandizing jerkoff seeing what kind of a braggart he can be as he smushes the Firebirds together. Really? This is his big “statement”?

A Boeing plane so the Jalopniks are busy pissing ‘n’ moaning...what a “shock”. So the questions are:

Since journalism is dead here - the very newest passenger 767s are 10 years old now. The oldest are more than 40 years old. Delta actually flies the oldest passenger 767 still in service (assuming they haven’t retired it, they are not long for the passenger world), built in 1990. No idea if this was THAT airplane.

The plane is 33 years old. So... yeah... seems an unfair dig at Boeing, frankly. But, it sure doesn’t help their case any... 

This “blame Boeing” thing is getting so ridiculous, y’all should be ashamed (I’m sure you’re not). Boeing can deliver a plane in perfect condition, but if company maintenance crews fail to keep it in working order, that’s on the airlines, not Boeing. Nobody blames VW when a tire blowout happens, or Audi when the…

I think Final Destination did a good job imprinting that fear into an entire generation.

Beware the trap. Restored so nice you never drive it because you are worried about everything.

Two - but very similar and both involve (BIG) trucks, their loads, and personal experience once removed.

Came here to say the exact same thing. With the recent Baltimore incident it only furthered my anxiety. I think my thought is yea we could survive the fall probably as long as we don’t get knocked unconscious but how the hell am I going to get my wife and infant in the back seat out and swim across the dang Ohio…

Crossing a bridge and for whatever reason: bridge collapses due to earthquake, a cargo ship runs into it, poor maintenance due to incompetent officials skimping on that work...whatever...and the car is thrown into the water.

Wow, duckduckgoing for ‘86 Volvo wagon prices isn’t easy—like trying to find hen’s teeth. And this is another close to the NP/ND line for which way to go with wagon.

Some people are so stupid, so careless in their disregard for people’s safety or commonsense, that they should be barred from driving. Ever.

F150 with the uber rare 1-on-the-tree transmission

Actually please do put a flux capacitor in it. I want to make an alternative time line where Biff doesn’t become a multi-millionaire/real-estate developer/ reality TV star/President.

I’m 100% with you. I absolutely hate group rides of any sort (cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and apparently powered unicycles) as they are incredibly disruptive and there are often at least a few misbehaving assholes in the group. It is much easier to pass a single cyclist or small group (5 or less) but a large group…

It goes beyond that. Traffic lights also have their origin in old mariner tradition. Since the boat pilot sits on the right side of the boat (the starboard side), he may not have a clear view to the left (port) side. Therefore, any boats on his port side must yield to him. This is why the starboard side of the boat…

It’s almost like he wants to revise his statement from “Tesla is not a car company” to “Tesla is not a company.”
