They're really safe. They do very well in crash tests, and have four airbags (2 more for side collisions). They also do not roll very easily. All in all, they are very likely safer than SUVs, which have some of the worst injury statistics of any type of vehicle due to their tendency to roll easily. The way to do something about the SUV ratio in this country is to do something about the SUV ratio in this country. If not you, who? If not now, when? Or something like that.

and they're pretty cheap: Smartcar USA Back to the future: From left to right: The Messerschmidt Kabinenroller and BMW Isseta from the early '50s alongside today's Daimler AG SmartCar

On a related front, I spotted a guy sporting this T shirt today in Ballard:

Ownership of LAND. Not the house on the land. Not your condo. The plot itself. The dirt.

Watch it, Kevbone. This comes from the master of originality.

Hey Prole, who are you to go up against Shitfeather's huge body of photojournalistic work? Or his gold standard: FOX News? Why, just one of his riveting TRs alone could crush this poor kid's career hopes forever. It's OK, Dannible. You didn't measure up to Shitfeather's standards, but with enough therapy, you might eventually recover. And don't bother defending yourself; you're basically confronting a skidmark. Just grab a clean pair of undies and carry on.

Ah, Triple Couloirs. One of the best climbs you'll never do.

I'm sorry, Sexy, could repeat that? pUWkySpoEC8

Hey, thanks again for some eyewitness reporting, Dannible. There are a few pricks around here who aren't comfortable with confronting anything first hand, but then again, they're not comfortable with much of anything. Our attitude around here is pretty much "fuck 'em". Cheers to your for taking a personal risk, buddy. Or buddette. Or whatever.

How unfair....I deserve at least honorable mention for the general fat f*ck theme of late. All FW did was zero in on certain protrusions. No. You're just another trained parrot. Sorry. No originality points for you. Sexy, you are WAY funnier when drunk. But then again, we all are, right?

Jesus. A Fairweather joke recycled through KKK now recycled through you. Considering who your muses are... ...ouch.

That's funny, i would have labeled you MBSH. That's (are you ready?) Man Boobed Speed Hiker. Yeah baby BABYYYYYY GET DOWN whoooooWHEEEEEE Take my advice. Leave humor to those who can pull it off.

Could it be? Has the presence of cartilage actually been detected in the spinal columns of certain Democrats?

Just thought I'd reinject that into the discussion because KKK hasn't in the last 3 minutes. Wouldn't want the rest of you to get too used to original content on this site. Wait...speak of the devil! Right on cue! The term "excessive ball drive" doesn't even come close.

Whale Oil Beef Hooked

Man boobs.

So I'm not the only one who had absolutely no fucking idea what the guy was trying to say. you two are cute together, and with a collective intellectual clout combining to pack a real nasty wrist snap, i thought you would have figured out what i meant. Alright, let's test the simplified version: "Yellowjackets are in the wasp family." There. How's that? Simple, succinct, factually accurate, and seemingly nothing to argue about there. And I thought I was OCD....

I find that term slanderous and defamatory.

Pilot to insurance company "OF COURSE I was doing the speed limit."

This just in: "socially liberal" does not equal "in love with police state". And last time I checked, the federal government has been around just a little longer than CC.

Here, here. Well said. This is a place to be outrageous. Nothing wrong with that.

OK, two comments. Kenke; I call bullshit on your "Fighting Soldiers from the Sky" post. Those two marines who regrettably died in this mess of a war did absolutely nothing to secure anyone's right to protest. Al Qaeda, the Iraqis...none of the folks we've been fighting have threatened that right at all. The only REAL threat to that right has been our own government. You're disingenuously yanking the "patriotic" chain for effect, and you know it. Second: in an age where central (federal) control has fucked our country up the ass in so many ways, property taxes represent the most significant local form of revenue generation, and therefore local political control. I'm all for local control these days.

That's some Kevbone quality legal analysis there. Can you rebutt it with more than a smiley? No, I didn't think so. How about you back up your contention that the US legal system would not change in the absence of private property so there is something to rebut. I can't imagine someone who has even a minimal working knowledge of constitutional and common law history making a statement like that. Step one of any rebuttal is to actually read the other person's statement. a) My thought experiment concerned the absence of LAND OWNERSHIP, not private property. In this hypothetical world, you could own any other kind of property. There is plenty of precedence for this. Water, mineral and airspace ownership are more often than not separate from land ownership. If airspace, and in some locales water rights, both necessary resources, cannot be privately owned (and our legal system seems to handle this in stride) why is land somehow fundamntally different? I argue that our current legal system is perfectly able to handle the instance where it isn't any different. b) I didn't state that the legal system wouldn't change, just that it need not change much. Those are my statements. I'm ready to be proven wrong. Go.

It can be read two ways.
