You’re right in that machine guns are easy to acquire legally or to manufacture illegally. Still, most people wish to stay on the legal side of things and most criminals are lazy, so people mis-using machine guns aren’t really a threat to society.

How much will it cost to un-stance this thing? Gotta factor that into the price as well as the price of new wheels. The extra cost and effort (I have no idea how much, I don’t work on cars, I just crash ‘em) is what pushes this towards CP.

On the need vs want question, I have more want for guns than need for guns. Even though I hopefully never need a gun, the only person responsible for my safety is me, so I like having the option to own the best tool available for that purpose. Since there is at least a slim chance I will need a gun someday, that means…

Great. Two year old gas that might be bad now.

PBR is the latest hipster beer craze. Or it was as of last year. Every bar on the west coast was selling PBR at the same price as a local microbrew.

I read this entire article and many of the comments thinking, “why is everyone bashing this Lotus?” Your comment finally made me realize this is an Alfa. Time for more coffee.

You’re going about it all wrongs. Less is more. Therefore:

Well played.

Is that the way to Flint?

Just one kidney. And a bit of one leg.

Actually, no. It the pilots had pushed the thrust levers to TO/GA sooner, they would have flown away. Completely pilot error. The flight control computers did exactly what they were designed to do.

Sluggish, like a wet sponge.

Until flying cars are fully autonomous, and only autonomous, they will not replace normal cars.

That is nothing more than an upscaled powered parachute. By the looks of it, the ‘chute was too small to support the weight of the car. Or the car needed much more thrust to climb. In either case, the pilot should have turned away from the building.

Yes, it looks nice and probably drives nice, but it has one glaring flaw: It is a Pontiac.

If you Google the registration number (N338HW in this case) you will learn a bunch of information about it. See: http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=338HW
