Does the technician get to affix a little sticker of a fighter jet to the outside of his toolbox now?

But who will provide the steel for Tacoma frames while they sort this out?

This is what happens when you give steel a steady diet of beer and classical music. Authentic Kobe Steel should only be raised on hard liquor and heavy metal.

Stop steeling so much space with this ferrousius commenting.

Those carmakers got rolled. Cold.

Yeah right, old people are freaky. Nursing homes are nothing but a wrinkled, wet cough orgy.

The only way that’s going to work is if on being rear ended you step out and empty the clip into the offender’s windshield...

That’s the first time in a long time that 74 year old has been rear-ended.

The Jones Act is terrible. It’s a major reason that Puerto Rico is bankrupt. The island could be a major shipping and trading hub, but it’s precluded from earning a living. Then what is supposed to drive its economy? Tourism alone isn’t enough.

The third pass was faster because the driver emptied his bowels while getting sideways at damn near 190 mph on the second pass. The reduced weight was to his advantage, obviously.

considering the way in which modern vehicles are using aero to stay on the ground there isn’t much difference aside from the obvious difference in propulsion.  

The tires coefficient of friction set the limit before the vehicle has to be propelled by other means such as jet engine. I think street legals can’t handle more then 350 HP per tire, im sure soft composite are well over but apparently @ 3000 hp for 4 wheels it breaks traction at 750hp per wheel seems to be the limit…

At what point do we just switch to planes?

“Ignore the red overspray; that came from the crime scene”

What if the perp was driving a car like I used to have, a ‘94 Taurus with ‘94 Lebaron headlights?

so that figure breaks down to $6,900 for scheduled maintenance

I think his point is the passengers didn’t try the emergency release. It’s possible that the doors were still openable, just that they didn’t know how to locate and use the release.

It doesn’t say the doors would not open, just that the passengers didn’t open them.

I'm pretty sure that a big tree converts a lot more CO2 than some little potted plant. Speaking of which, 5 ml O2 per leaf and hour...is that an average over all plants with leafs? Or something specific? Daisies? Maple trees? Lotus? Seems somewhat vague to me.

This is io9. At any given time space wins over banks. Unless perhaps it's coverage of a Batman film.
