Just saw some dude bro in a Hooters parking lot with a massive lift kit on his diesel bro truck. As he pulled out of a very small parking spot that he half-assed backed into, he proceeding to impress everyone within earshot by flooring it through the parking lot to achieve a whopping speed of 25mph and left a massive cloud of black smoke.

gently caress these people and their trucks.

So because it's impossible to be 100% compliant, they should just completely give up? Vegans still cause less animal death than non-vegans, which seems to be their goal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque

Food animals like cows and pigs would be extinct if not for humans breeding them for food.

Thus, vegans are attempting to extinct several species of animals.

Thus, they are the worst killer of animals.

Airbags may not rip off your thumbs, but they can propel your arms into the window/door/other people pretty fiercely. That's better than your head or chest smashing into the steering wheel or dash, though.

You can, however, dislocate your thumbs pretty easily if your wheels hit an obstacle and you have your thumbs looped through. I haven't seen it personally, but I've had my Jeep's steering wheel get whipped around when rock crawling. A guy that was watching me climb up the obstacle saw it happen, and didn't think to keep his thumbs out when he attempted it. No dislocation for him thanks to a different line that didn't jerk his wheel that much, but he had bruises.

When my airbag went off last year, I had one of my arms in front of my chest, ended up with a lovely forearm shaped bruise across my torso. Nothing fractured but it was nice and sore for a week or so.

Yep, if you spin the wheel will whip around very quickly too, and that can also break thumbs if they're looped.

Pretty awesome paint job, but the only reason you paint a delorean is because you already hosed up the body panels.

6mph full width rear impact in a VW golf does $3000 damage. If i hit a building at 6mph with my lincoln, all it would do is move the building over a foot.

I once got rear-ended while stopped at a light by a cop in my '84 Buick Estate Wagon. Cop was terribly afraid she'd just hurt someone, as her cattle catcher was in her radiator, but it barely rocked that big beautiful bastard on its brakes. Scuffed up my rear bumper's chrome pretty good, but no real damage.

That's what kills me. On any other car, the color would look great, and it honestly doesn't look bad on a DMC12... until you take a giant wet Autozone Accessory Aisle poo poo all over it. :barf:

It'll rust apart eventually anyways thanks to road salt. That is, when the cleanup crews actually bother to get out and salt.
