  1. Heavy == Safe? by Osty · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    From the article:

    Safety? It has jet-pilot seat belts and a racing-regulation roll cage; it weighs more than 3,000 pounds, about the same as a Toyota Camry, including 1,100 pounds of Yellow Top batteries under the floorboards as ballast, so it's not tippy on turns.

    At what point did "heavy" become synonymous with "safe"? This car is heavier than mine, and it's smaller!
