VW Tops Land Speed Record with 600-Horsepower Jetta | Clutch Master Cylinder

1) If a car fails its safety inspection, it does not belong on the road. Do you disagree with this? 2) Current passive safety devices have improved collision survival. You have a problem with that? You want to remove them? 3) Most collisions are the result of driver error. You don’t think that some active devices could help prevent collisions due to driver error? You also want to remove them? 4) If consumers want a less expensive vehicle wouldn’t it make sense to dispense with ‘luxury’ items like power equipment, carpeting, etc rather than ‘safety’ items? Or do you think that A/C and power windows and a sunroof are more important than ABS, active head restraints, etc.? 5) Would you let your infant children ride without being mounted in approved child seats? IF not why? Or is it because they represent improved safety for your upcoming ‘brood’. 6) Do you have an SUV or truck like vehicle for your wife to commute in? Is it for its perceived safety? Then aren’t you being hypocritical in decrying safety for the masses? 7) Do you believe that only those in pick-ups or SUV’s deserve to be ‘safe’, or do you agree that those who can only afford compact cars should also have built in safety features? 8) Although I kept mentioning facts, you have relied solely on your emotional responses. And then tried to ‘put words in my mouth’. I get it, your family originally had to rely on old, small cars. Well so did mine, when I was young. But I learned from that and moved on. Police officers use the term ‘deathtraps’ for a reason. It is not based on the vehicles age, but its condition.

Tire shop I go to keeps examples of rotted TPM units on their counter to show customers what’s happening.

Some of us may be luddites. Most of us are not. I’ve always been an early adaptor. But this stuff is just plain intrusive. That word seems to apply to a lot of technology these days. We seem to have turned a corner into a very bad neighborhood. And it’s not the government we need to fear – it’s private industry.

6. The XE boasts IMU-supported cornering ABS and lean-angle detecting traction control. ABS and TC are described in the same nomenclature as the power modes—Rain, Road, Sport, and Off-Road—instead of the usual numerical levels that we commonly see. Off-Road ABS allows for aggressive front braking in the dirt, letting you slide the rear as you’d like. The Off-Road TC is fascinating as it teaches riders to understand how the motor breaks traction, yet it doesn’t eliminate spin either—it merely subdues it. If you give it more gas mid-slide, it will let go a bit more, but never become unleashed. To hang it out, you’ll want to go into Off-Road Pro.

So yeah, I do want you to have the very best in warning systems, selfishly for MY OWN SAFETY. And if that means I end up paying more for my vehicle, that’s a minor price in my opinion.

“I sat there in shock,” he said. OnStar then called and put him in touch with a tow truck, but the owner of the low-mileage off-road truck declined the tow, and instead opted to cut out the airbags blocking his view, and drive back to where he was staying.

But remember, it’s just a patent. It may not go anywhere. For now, it’s an interesting piece of tech and I’m eager to see if GM does anything with it.

Why not just teach your children to identify these dangers, and drive defensively around them them and/or avoid them, instead of relying on others to do it for them?

(2) Husqvarna FC450. The Husky tips the scales at 224 pounds (1 pound heavier than the KTM 450SXF). This can be attributed to the heavier plastic airbox, ice cream cone-shaped restrictor in the muffler and thicker brake rotors. It is 17 pounds lighter than the heaviest bike in the shootout (Suzuki RM-Z450).

Q: With regard to your recent comments about people preferring automatic transmissions to manuals, I agree most people prefer automatics for their convenience, but I suggest you also consider another reason to choose a modern-day automatic. I grew up driving manual transmissions, including a number of high-performance cars. I’ve also been to high-performance driving school, where I learned, and mastered, the heel-and-toe shifting technique. Even so, my recent purchases have been high-performance cars with automatics. Why? They shift faster than anyone can manually — professional or amateur — including matching revs on the downshifts. Lazy? No. I just prefer having a vehicle where performance potential is maximized.
