But I mean, you do you, tracking the careers of tech website writers by byline and call-outs on off-site callouts I mean that's totally normal. Probably there's a radioshack subforum somewhere where you can roast me for giving you some hard customer service in 2001, I can't wait to see that roast.

I really like watching the crash test ratings for vehicles on youtube. Some of the lower rated vehicles can be surprising. The toyota tundra for example. Actually all body on frame trucks are pretty poo poo in an accident.

Hell Yeah posted:sending that peanut size dick at your pussy at 3/4 of light speed and it's demolished when i'm done. send that pussy back in time i hit it so hard But if the dick is TOO small the BALLS hit the pussy first and slow it down so much that it becomes HUGE again and goes back in time so you have MICROSCOPIC FUTURE BALLS and a TEMPORALLY RELEVANT normal sized dick.

How the hell are cars getting heavier? Thirty years ago they were made of solid steel and cement and maybe the top of the line model had a few extra anvils in the trunk. Nowadays they’re made of aluminum and feathers.

ehrm uhhh well you see uhhh it's not really an issue of being heavier cause that means you could get the same results by increasing the force of gravity but ACKTUUALLY its about how much MASS the car has ehehe hehe *snort*

This simple facts of the matter are that you can put wheels on your boat and drive it around but you can't just put a hull on a car and expect it to floal.

It might seem like your car is floating, but actually those pools of water on the road usually aren't very deep. e: Just got a fax from Ars Technica asking me to write this up as an article. Xaintrailles fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Feb 8, 2021 |

As long as you can keep the air intake and other bits that don't like water (the differential vent) above the water it's ok, the problem is they start floating and lose traction and float down the river so you either have special tires that work like paddles or use a winch. Rarely you get offroad vehicles that have the option to install little propellers on the back but that's more of an amphibious vehicle then.

Old ACVWs might have been airtight at some point, but I think we can all agree that once you stomp on the skinny of this silver Nissan 350z your rear end in a top hat won't be airtight! (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Well you see, that car is nice and all but in a crash I'd prefer to be rolling coal in a Silver Dodge Ram because you know it weighs more

Cars are getting too big in general though, the small ones are becoming too expensive since they have to contain the same expensive features as the bigger one to meet standards so there is no market for them now.

With weight being king I'd rather be in this Hardmode Silver Chevrolet 3/4 ton Suburban with a 454.  (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Well I suppose it isnt THAT weighty but a Hardmode Silver Forester GT still aint no light weight so it's all still good in a crash

Old Foresters are famously light. My favorite car because of how easy they can be turned into lightweight off roader that never bogs down.

Yeah a Forester is good and all with its high carbon steel but it just doesn't pack the sheer mass like this Silver Man 8x8 truck

Sure it's massive but have you thought about the sheer strength of this Red MAN Firetruck? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Strength if you step on it barefoot maybe. What you need is a red dodge truck on home made "tank tracks" https://i.imgur.com/TZ92LAA.mp4

You've got the right idea, but that height is just too impractical. Something more like the color formerly known as blue Dodge Truck  (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I'd just like to point out that if this Blue Wrecked Impreza WRX was heavier and bigger, it might have survived being hit by a Dodge.

See this is why you need mass. Even this Wrecked Silver Aston Martin DB5 couldn't keep it together.

This Wrecked Black Toyota Corolla took a hit at at least 100km/h. Driver survived. I don't think mass is an issue.

Perhaps it is sheer stupidity instead of mass. like in the case of this Red wrecked Chevrolet Camaro owner that cut off a truck.

Dang, that's bad. We can't ignore velocity though, I think this champagne wrecked Chevy Malibu probably didn't get hit by something going as fast.
