No way that’s gonna buff out.

Use an electric bong and you will live forever.

Vaping has the entire tobacco lobby against it.

Soon vaping will be back with no nicotine. THC.

I thought a lot (incl. Philip Morris) are trying to get into that market.

Soon?

You're talking about commercially available in the open where legal 'cause......

 

[nonobaddog]

That wasn't "drive" off of it. The vehicle had to be traveling at a a very high rate of speed.

Not shown in this picture is the concrete parking curbs that had to be driven over and then the wall hit with enough force to go through it.

Great Caesar's ghost!

EDIT: There's no parking curbs at that location.

You may have underestimated the ability of some people to believe that the gas pedal is the brake, despite all evidence to the contrary...and to keep pushing the gas pedal harder and harder as if effort will transform it into the brake.

Audi and Toyota engineers are well aware of this.

I remember that. Jeep had a similar issue with their Grand Cherokees. As I recall, the accelerator pedal and brake were offset on those vehicles so people who were used to driving other vehicles would think they're stepping on the brake, but instead were stepping on both or just the gas. It's a pretty normal reaction to step harder on the "break" when you think you're already breaking but aren't stopping. I remember that was demonstrated, and it took several seconds to recognize what's going on.

I don't think that's the manufacturer's fault though. There was nothing wrong with the cars.

And years ago I modified 3 of my old cars so all the pedals (clutch included) were at the same height AND making the gas and brake closer together.

That is kinda nice for doing 'heel and toe' into corners.

We did some slalom racing for fun (cones) and at one time I lived on a mountain with a bunch of switchbacks. That was a lot of fun and scary with a few of 900ft drops.

That would be too scary - I hate falling. I'll stick with gymkhanas and production sports cars.

Everybody (even state agencies censoring photos of children) just has to get in their anti President Trump slams...

Until they get caught, and have to put out the retraction and truth.

That's about how my morning commute was.

I guess "Drive Like An *******" day fell on a Wednesday this month. Just ****ty entitled people everywhere

Mine usually falls on Thursday afternoons. For some reason, on (almost exclusively) Thursday afternoons, everyone on 465 southbound loses their mind at the I-74 interchange on the southeast side. Everyone comes to a complete stop... and then they start moving again, and gradually get back up to speed. First of all, if traffic is going to stop on the interstate, I expect to see twisted steel and mangled bodies strewn across all lanes... but nope... there's never anything there.

That was every day on that stretch last week! It all balances out though I guess, one day toward the end of the prior week there was a minor fender bender with 3 cop cars attending, 2 broken down cars barely off the road, and a wide load convoy pulled over for some reason not quite all the way off the road, all at the same time in the stretch from the Emerson exit to 65. Now that was a cluster!
