I loved Battlefield 1942 and things just went downhill from there.
Agreed but there was nothing quite like stealing an enemy chopper in BF: Vietnam and tuning the in-cockpit radio to "I Fought the Law" while raining down rockets from above.:)
but nobody seems to be able to point a finger at who these mysterious bastards are.
But since they most definitely have (hell, these guys tend to brazenly out themselves), I have to call bullshit on your blatant attempt to frame the debate.
Really, should you be so quick to out yourself as a shill like that?)
I should stand corrected; I don't know where I developed the notion that the Model S was carbonfiber but according to Tesla, it is not (however, it is largely aluminum which also deforms rather differently than steel).
To the contrary, newest updates make a point of the fact that the car supposedly was equipped with a much smaller engine than previously thought, 236 instead of 700 horsepower.
I believe the front motor in most AWD Model S's puts out about that much horsepower.
in a collapsed crumple zone, you expect to see pillars and beams which have accordioned
That would be in the collapsed crumple zone of steel-bodiedvehicles. The carbonfiber bodyshell of the Tesla could very well exhibit different characteristics when crash energy is absorbed.
I was sent into a spin at ~70mph into a large concrete barrier in a '91 200Q avant and it split that barrier in half and displaced the two pieces approximately a meter; the ass end of the wagon (where the impact occurred) was accordioned inwards approximately 15"
I was fine (as were the three 21" CRT's buckled-in to the back).
Quite right; the engine bays/crumple zones of modern cars are typically designed to force the engine to drop from beneath the car in the event of a serious impact (though I won't speculate on the typical effectiveness of this in action).
I don't know if the Donald is being genuine or just opportunistic
Seriously? Question for everyone: When most of the rest of you watch Trump, Billary or Sanders (yeah, he talks a good line), are you truly unable to see the complete and utter lack of empathy and sincerity in their eyes or are you all just indulging in the most desperate of delusions?
Merely fucking off isnt going to cut it for a soulless shill such as yourself, so with the utmost sincerity, I'm going to ask that you also off yourself (preferably sooner rather than later, if your schedule allows...).
i have news for you: considering that the root of American " liberalism" (as opposed to European "liberalism" which is an altogether different animal) was Hamilton's insidious pro-establishment Federalism... by strict definition, they're all "liberal" these days, and that certainly includes Fox News.
the structural integrity of the vehicles interiors
If you're concerned about the tensile strength of the carpet fibers, you'll be reassured to know that it actually increases as the dirt and grime accumulate...

And somehow you don't meet a lot of angry Hawaiians
Apparently you haven't spent a lot of time there; all you have to do to piss off a lot of the natives is to be white.
Perhaps some enterprising Persian can invent headscarves that look like... hair.
The people in power are happy to take advantage of the gullibility of prudes. FTFY.

Only by life.
To my knowledge no AC has ever denied the existence of "climate change".
That's an impressively large body of "knowledge" you've got there..

This being Germany, he's likely been conditioned to expect the State to apply the discipline.

Inherently safe cars don't plant themselves 25m into fields in the first place regardless of their form of propulsion.
You were in the process of making a very valid point when the above suddenly managed to slip out of your asshole...

Fine with me; he's the closest thing to an idol we've got and for good reason.
You're definitely a dipshit for assuming they were taking anyone seriously.
Clearly the corporations.
Why send 'em that far? Into the sea would be more conclusive as well as less resource-intensive.

Ah yes the "liberal media"

Actually, in the beginning, they will probably have real taxi drivers behind the wheel
Geez, let's hope not!
Somehow, though, nearly all of them make it to and from work every day without even a fender-bender.
Right I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact that those cars are driven by humans and not machines.
In other words, another fuckIng APU?
