As someone who is a big fan of weird symmetry, I heartily approve of this neuroticism.

so it can roll under the seats, randomly toggling exhaust modes whenever you hit a bump.

Minis were getting too reliable.

I get your point in that you’re asking something to be tested for something it was not engineered to withstand... but I think you’re kind of missing the point of the video: cars are becoming increasingly safer.

Yep - insurers are way more keen on paying out book value for a totaled car once than that plus someone’s stay in the ICU, multiple surgeries, a year of physical therapy, lost wages, lawyer fees...

This is no less stupid than all the grown ass adults in my neighborhood that own $20k golf carts to just drive to the pool and the mailboxes. It’s crazy to think these people lived through the last recession. 

My guy I have a great car for you.

Buy that v5 and rally the crap out of it. That engine would sound perfect in the forest

BUY ME AND DRIVE ME, DAVID! :D

Nice overspray in the X6s fake vent 

I am terribly disappointed that the fire hydrant is not spewing water 80 feet in the air and dozens of children have not come to frolic in it. Another Hollywood myth shattered.

You want ugly? Here’s a Ssanyong Rodius. Straight from the factory ugly.

Are you really going to drive around with a full HANS? I don’t think so.

Do NOT get me started on the idiocy that is the out of position and unbelted requirements for FMVSS. We design vehicles that are suboptimal for injury risk in certain conditions in order to better protect fools who do not wear their seatbelts. If they don’t want to wear their seatbelts, fine. What is insane is that…

1) Im so conditioned to seatbelts that driving without one on feels like Im running through a crowded mall, entirely populated with bullies from my old school, totally naked.

I’m thinking the mandate that airbags have to adequately protect un-belted occupants is kinda ridiculous at this point. Before we had variable deployment technology, air bags hurt a lot of people because of the extra deployment force needed to keep an un-belted person from launching through the windshield.

And for God’s Sake please don’t ride with your feet up on the dash...

I’d have less of a problem with this if we didn’t all wind up paying to have their diapers changed for the rest of their lives after they go through the windscreen.

Idiots, and the people that take their money.
