ah, the honda accordian. one of the worst vehicles of all time.

Here's what I ride to work in every day. I like my chances against any passenger vehicle, whatever the size. http://www.orenstransitpage.com/otpnycpics/lirr10.jpg Yeah, but just try to parallel park it... :lol: it's been tried. didn't work out too well.. http://www.oldkewgardens.com/ss-lirr/lirr-06...

Bummer...it's only on VHS...and there's only one used one. :-? reid had DVDs made too. don't know if they were only for personal consumption or not. you might try the smithsonian website / store or PBS. the hiller museum in san carlos might have it.

once again you're relying overly broad blanket statements. you need to say how does vehicle X do in the crash tests?

in particular does the vehicle have side impact airbags? and will the front crush zone collapse into the passenger compartment?

the smart car is definitely safer than your jeep. even if you choose not to believe it. Still waiting for you to answer this one AF. Once you do than I may consider your point as vaild. the IIHS crash tests are done at 40 MPH. And what are the crash test results for 65mph. You know the speed limit ...

Until they make a Prius that can tow a 40' camper and a 22' boat - not to mention haul a ton of stone or 25 sheets of plywood - I'll keep my pickup trucks, thank you very much. And when I'm not needing one of the trucks, I'll ride my motorcycle (which gets better mileage than any Prius, and more im...

**** Self-Pimping Alert **** The big guy's albatross flew around the world in 1997 following the path of Amelia Earhart's flight. He produced a TV show in association with the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum that aired on PBS about her flight. I recommend getting a copy. It's called The Final Ho...

I've seen a Smart Car (aka death trap) or two around here. I think I'll keep my Jeep (which is also a death trap) and look cool rather than drive one of those for a few measley extra miles. On the other hand if I had one it would be a good reason to keep my weight in check. :lol: I probably could n...

saturday i saw 2 smart cars parked end to end in one spot in a parking lot. still no longer than a full sized car. unfortunately i lost the photo i took of them...

I saw my first one of these the other day http://thehumansaredead.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/smart-car.jpg Last year when I was in Paris I saw them all over the place. Saw one the other day with a car seat in it. What the hell are people thinking? If/when there is an accident with one of those thi...

Yup, those ugly, useless things are everywhere. I ran over 2 of them on my way in to work today. That'll teach them to drive something with a roofline lower than my front bumper. :lol: :lol: There are a lot of them around here too. My issue is their lack of power...I've had way too many close calls...

This isn't a frivolous matter. I've heard a lot of people express the opinion over the years that the Second Amendment means EXACTLY what it says: "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed .&q...

here's the court's opinion. i highly recommend reading it. i learned alot you will too....

Justice Stephen Breyer wrote a separate dissent in which he said, "In my view, there simply is no untouchable constitutional right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to keep loaded handguns in the house in crime-ridden urban areas ." So according to Justice Breyer our rights are contingen...

i believe it was in 1996, but Senator McCain was a vocal proponent of bombing the NK reactor facility.

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of a militia, well regulated or otherwise. I don't believe the Second Amendment gives me the right to own a gun. Your mileage may vary. That is all. I guess it's all in how you interpret the commas. James Madison should be have been sent back to school f...
