truth bombs

and thats at 40mph

judging a car by how it looks ls like judging a foodstuff on how it feels when rubbed against your bottom

wtf cmon that is not true at all - aesthetics is not absent from car judgement in any way

nor is ass rubbing absent from foodstuff judgment

or food judgment for that matter
xpost!

It's safer than any other go-kart on the road today.

I could wipe my ass with one of those smart cars.

its got poor rear impact ratings too

Apparently, it takes almost nothing to total one.

I like that we have hijacked "truth bombs" to discuss the attractiveness and crash safety of the Chevy Nova vs the Smart ForTwo btw

All because I said nobody would time travel to 1978 and Whiney G recognized that to be a complete fact

it was a year or so before i realized those allstate commericals werent directed at someone named Stan.

this was a drunken debate with one of my friends awhile back that swore he was saying Stan!

Apparently, it takes almost nothing to total one.

This is true of pretty much all modern cars. The right rear passenger door on my Dodge truck is completely fucked because I let my grandfather back it around a corner and he went up against a very stumpy bush. At maybe 5mph A BUSH gouged two big dents in the door.

I think maybe the ease of totalling them actually has something to do with why they're safer, actually? Energy transfer, etc..

lol the future is in fact a japanese cartoon about the future

a smart car almost hit me on my bike today b/c the guy over-shot a stop sign. i didn't really know how to feel. because i have cruelly judged the smart car as generally impotent.

the ease of totalling

i like this phrase

an $11k car is by definition easier to total than one more expensive

also thk u kevin for the 65 nova dot jpg

look this terrivble thing is coming out soon for a base price of $2500. it looks the same!

and its got a back seat!

you will also die in this one

that's for india
it is not roadworthy in other countries

an $11k car is by definition easier to total than one more expensive

This is not true.

you can total it more efficiently

I definitely thought that was Bud Selig trying to sell that car.

a smart car almost hit me on my bike today b/c the guy over-shot a stop sign.

you're lucky, if he hit you his car could've been totalled and I doubt you have bike insurance

this picture says "hop in, I'm much safer than riding around in a soap bubble!"

that was hard

so it's not ridiculously safe. glad we cleared up that falsity bomb :)

amazon.com bomb

most spaghetti westerns are analogous to tossing a scorpion into a boxful of fire ants. There's a good chance you'll see an interesting fight or two, but you won't much care who crawls out of the box at the end.

^^ My neighbor did that all the time when we were kids. He cared enough that he once took a lizard out of the fight, on grounds that it was cute and had no chance.

Un, I love that truth bomb as much as anybody else, but isn't that just the opening scene of The Wild Bunch? Or does that not detract from its bombitude?

Imagine the John McCain attack ad.

nabisco is soft on salamanders?

sometimes i think the ilx film crew are playing an off-board game where they try to come up with the dumbest challops

I've actually just realized by reading on the thread that you're a stubborn 3rd-aged adult and you are not very likely to change your mind or flex a little by now so I might just as well end the conversation here because I'm afraid we'll both be losing our time.
