Translation: What an obnoxious question. It illustrates a point that doesn't jibe with the spin this "issue" has been given on the idiotbox(es) and I'm not at all prepared to go there. What can I do to derail this conversation??"
Up until this generation, the Ford Mustang had a live rear axle
Didn't the Mustang gain independent rear suspension several generations back... or was it just Cobra variants? The Camaro, on the other hand, did just recently lose the compound live axle...
Sadly, that was quite true up 'til 1986 when Ford released a well built, well engineered family sedan -- the Taurus
LOL, get the fuck out of here... that was a joke, right?? If not... here's some history (hint: the Taurus does not have an impressive past):
: In 1983, the Audi 100 (aka "5000" in the U.S.) won the European Car of the Year award. The design was so revolutionary, even compared to the best-engineered vehicle currently available at the time (Benz's S-Class) that Ford panicked, launched an emergency development project to design an imitation Audi 100, copying the general looks and cab-forward design of the Audi (the 100/200/500 has a.30cd) but little else. Worse, since Ford didn't even bother attempting to duplicate the Audi's most effective available feature, all-wheel drive (to be fair to Ford, they knew they stood no chance), the least Ford could've done was equipped the Taurus with a proper longitudinal RWD drivetrain like a Benz, Beemer or water-cooled Porsche) for better adhesion and front-to-rear weight-balance... but no; the Taurus was designed to be as cheap to manufacture as possible... and considering how many of 'em you still see on the roads, it shows.
Whether their sonar scans caused them to categorize it as coral, an undersea mountain ridge or even "Formation, Geological, Fucking, Random," I doubt very much that the Navy bothered to identify its composition.
Yes, more guns - along with proper "regulation" (i.e. aim) would have greatly reduced the number of casualties... but as that doesn't align with the anti-gun narrative you wish to project, you probably leave that out...

Why would that matter one way or the other?

Actually, a wide range of can *not* predict landslides before they don't happen. This list includes (but isn't limited to):
aircraft carriers
dragonflies
dingle-berries
Very good; you've been keeping up. However, this discussion is about Soviet cultural attitudes... which are clearly alive and well.
Agreed.
Desperation stinks; I wish /. would fire the mouthbreathers who choose some of these vapid and innane topics...
So basically the same approach the French took with their testing of nuclear weapons?
We are talking about Germans taking "completely new approaches" do recover about whatever they are lagging behind
Someone needs to tell those Merkeled Krauts that testicles are harder to replace than that...
Math and programming: apples and oranges.
You do realize that slight inflation is pretty good for everyone right?
Yeah, especially those who save. Get the fuck out of here with your Keynesian horseshit.
t would eliminate the reliance...
behold the power of... words on paper. Words written on paper by politicians, even.
but European cars are lighter
Definitely not accurate...

My 4-passenger pickup truck is 6500lbs EMPTY
Unless you're rolling around in an extended-cab 3/4-ton diesel, I'm guessing you're getting GVWR confused with curb weight.
These issues trouble human drivers too.
Only the ones we shouldn't have given licenses to.
"r_smp=one billion?"
Somewhere in a parallel dimension exists an '87 factory Taurus with a port-injected 302 and a 5spd (rear) transaxle...

Maybe, but that 0.001% has tremendous influence on the purchasing decisions of OTHERS.
Exactly.
Hidden from whom?

it's that net neutrality tends to increase regulation
Net neutrality was/is about forbidding the telcos from regulating our packets.
It is, by definition, anti-regulation.
Maybe Intel and GlobalF. are forming a Cartel of Incompetence.
If that is what they want to do to solve their problems, then that is indeed their business.
Are you referring to the Chinese people or the tyrannical government that controls them without their say-so??
Whoosh but neither witty nor amusing...

The people are still allowed to defend themselves in Europe?? That's pretty cool; thanks for clearing that up.
