Which one looks better? - it has turned into car talk
Posted by anze89
I don't like what they call safety is very bad. IMO the car shouldn't be smashing like hell only to minimaze the forces. every car should have a roll cage like a racing car, only smaller so that the front would still smash but would stop before drivers legs. Seat belts should be stronger, like racing ones. A few years ago honda Civic and Zastava 101 crashed, Zastava could continue without problems, but Honda was un-driveble because the front smashed too much
I meant saftey cell
I agree that cars must smash, but they are smashing too much. On the highway in Srbia a man on the motorcyle was doing a suicide and went into the wrong way on the highway. He smashed with full speed into a car and the bike literally almost entered the cabin. That should never happen
you can see the rear wheel of the motorcyle there

if rally cars can survive a massive crash into a tree...
That impact would be worse than a rally car could ever do.
Say the motorbike does 70mph (at least) hits a car doing 60mph, thats an impact speed of 130mph!!

Due to the voting system in Germany, Governments are always made up of coalitions of different parties. At the last election, an almost unprecidented result saw the CDU/CSU (rough equivilant of the Conservatives) go into Government with the SPD (rough equivilant of Labour)

I see that I fu*ked up a little
Im not sure if what im about to say is right, someone might know. But i once read of some messed up physics thing which means if a car was doing 70, and another car doing 70 hit head on, the impact speed is not 140, it is much much higher as the forces involved do not increase in proportion with the speed, so the impact goes much much higher
not sure if its what you mean but the kinetic energy involved is 0.5 x Mass x Velocity squared, so basically the energy increases very quickly as the velocity does.

rust like a mufucker
lol at this phrase Dave!
and there's no denying that italian cars in particualr have a sort of funny stereotype of being poorly built an unreliable, and have done for many many years.
on Top Gear this week they had the new Brera, and talked about Alfa's, that you put up with tonnes of disappointment and problems, just for pleasure you get for the miniscule amount of time everything works perfectly.
anyoen got that comic strip of Sepang '99? it shows them saying the ferrari bareg boards are the wrong size. then someone justifies them by saying, "Well, it is an Italian car..."
of course these days any new car, even ones we consider to be shite, and stil built way better than they were 10-15 years ago, so maybe its time for this stereotype to be forgotten?
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael
