You mention a low curb weight but don’t say what that curb weight is. What gives?

Man, that’s brutal. I wouldn’t be able to stand being in a car that long. A couple years ago my friend helped me drive my F-100 from the Twin Cities to Detroit, and stupidly taking a few back roads (US-12, the ancient Sauk Native American trail), it turned into a 21 hour drive.

Lol, that header image. My first thought was, “Why are they stopped? Why not just start driving?”

FSM was constructed to uphold the separation of church and state by holding a mirror to the creationism-in-schools crowd. If you teach one religion in public science classrooms, they say, you should have to teach them all. To set this all up correctly, FSM had to become a legal “religion” just like the others.

I think that’s kind of the point... they’re making a big political stink about it because that’s what they feel the fundamentalists do as well.

As I understand it, pastafarians make fun of religious fundamentalists, not your “normal” religious people. It all started over the creationism-in-schools issue.

Sorry, but people get complacent. Anyone who’s driven a stick for years can talk on the phone and eat while shifting. The only way to really reduce traffic fatalities with human-driven cars is for every driver to truly respect the vehicle they’re piloting, and to be courteous to others. If you approach every trip with…

Yes, reading the more recent article, that’s exactly what happened.

As much as I’d love the 60's build quality, I can’t pass up this yellow box.

Yes, and I know it personally. It’s much more of an issue down south where snow tires wouldn’t see as much use.

At that point you can either drive more carefully, or stay home. Snow tires have much more benefit in, the great white north.

So, that’s cheaper than your summer set, right? Add $200 for a set of wheels and it’s the same price as the summers. Use each one half as much, and the price is the same over the life of the tires.

Theoretically it would be pretty easy to buy some cheap Sun trike and have new hub shells made for the rear. Up front, just weld some crap up on a jig- it’ll handle horribly anyway.

It would seem that they could flip a proverbial switch and make the cars run in test mode all the time. Surely they’d still have enough power to do 0-60 in 20 seconds, which is more than you need to navigate an entrance ramp.

Seemed like canned sound effects at the end...

That’s because corporations don’t stand to lose millions of dollars over random people’s stillborn hot rod projects.

Then it’s good you have 110 years of automotive variety to choose from. Pick up a Henney Kilowatt and throw a P85D drivetrain into it. Done and done.

I have found it can usually be interpreted as a smile. Since getting across emotions succinctly via text can be challenging, “lol” gives us a simple way to convey amusement.

Yeah, for all we know, Red Bull asked the government to file suit against them, so they’d both get more publicity.

FYI, his plate looks to be from Ontario
