BATMAN 10-03-2007, 11:40 AM http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21112810/ Richter12x2 10-03-2007, 12:06 PM I say blind people pose a safety risk to people with hybrid cars. :D aznpoopy 10-03-2007, 01:25 PM we should force everyone to drive bridgeport rotaries Say No To Pistons 10-03-2007, 01:43 PM Blind walking canes pose safety risk for all people that travel on foot/bike. Richter12x2 10-03-2007, 01:46 PM I think we should just make being blind illegal. They keep wanting us to change for them. :D wotnartd 10-03-2007, 02:27 PM I think we should just make being blind illegal. They keep wanting us to change for them. :D Toss'em into the wood chipper, I say. cool_as_crap 10-03-2007, 02:58 PM God doesn't count them as whole people, why should we? Richter12x2 10-04-2007, 09:33 AM They have their value. I saw a show one time where they put two blind women in bumper cars in a wide open track and took bets on how long before they hit one another. :D 2ndGen.Rocket 10-04-2007, 09:46 AM You can't hear an LS400 and low speeds either. What's the big deal Richter12x2 10-04-2007, 10:08 AM I'm thinknig it's along the lines of, "people always gotta bitch about something" Terrh 10-04-2007, 08:37 PM I think it should be law that all electric/hybrid cars make the jetsons noise while driving, that would solve this problem quickly. Richter12x2 10-05-2007, 08:31 AM And the ensuing laughter results in skyrocketing insurance claims. :D What about adding the "Pop goes the Weasel" bits from a Jack-In-The-Box" :D . . . and why is there never a weasel inside, but just a clown's head? :( Manntis 10-06-2007, 07:46 AM http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21112810/ what a load of crap. Only series hybrids are silent, and then only in electric mode. Parallel hybrids, like Toyotas, still make engine noises. And most cars today dampen the engine sounds so effectively, what you hear is tire noise - which is the same for hybrids, gas, diesel, etc. aznpoopy 10-08-2007, 04:08 PM what a load of crap.

I think it's great how they sound like a toy car when you drive them quickly in reverse. :D Pele 10-09-2007, 10:00 AM Toss restrictive shit like intake resonators and mufflers. Eliminates dead weight too. That'll make cars louder. I figure if Harleys can sound like pieces of shit, then so can my car. bananna 11-09-2007, 12:33 PM Maybe on a rural road, but where are you going to be that you won't hear a hybrid or they won't see you? |
