Imagine the speed it would take to flip a racing-style vehicle with a low center of gravity and racing suspension. Way over 100, I bet.

You
L like this. Guy shows how cheap they are made.

Their tractors were pretty good though.

Should the government only allow us to own what we need?

Count me in that group. I don’t get it.

It was taken from a dialogue in the movie, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." The character was Jeff Spicoli, played by Sean Penn (before politics crept into every little thing.) FTARH was a coming-of-age classic from the early 1980s.

I'm not sure if younger generations looked on that movie the same way mine did, but I have much respect for anyone who makes obscure movie quotes using a film like that one.

I thought Spicoli’s dad was a jeweler.

Spicoli didn't say his dad was a body shop repairman; he was a T repairman, with "an ultimate set of tools," at least from what I recall.

CHP’s social media post suggests that speed may have been a factor.

Hmm...ya reckon?

I know that road very well from my Silicon Valley days. Used to be where the tech weenies would take their new BMWs. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Whatever you do, stay away from referencing Gunnery Sergeant Foley quotes from Officer And A Gentleman, especially “the two things that come from Oklahoma.” Lol

Evidently so. Fortunately no one was killed or injured during the sinking. That said, someone is likely in a big heap of trouble. Reports suggest the vessel had triple the rated capacity of allowed people onboard...

"If all motor vehicles on the roads came from the factory with a built-in device that limited their maximum speed to 35 mph, this sort of accident wouldn't happen as often."

In October of 1942, the US imposed a wartime speed limit of 35 mph. In 1943 and 1944, the car crash death rate per capita was 25% HIGHER than it was in 2023.

If the Safety Nazi's mantra of "Speed Kills" were true, not a single astronaut would have got back from the moon alive. And driving needlessly slow wastes more human lives in lost productivity than driving at sensible speeds takes in accidents.
