Motronic posted:Wow....just wow. I've cut enough people out of cars to know just how much crap comes loose and flys around when you get hit hard (or hit something hard). Something about having two pounds of presumably loaded pistol ready to fly about the cabin seems like a really bad idea. Of course, lots of idiots run around with them jammed between the seat and center console, so I suppose this is a "better solution." No weapon made in the last half decade will discharge no matter how hard it's struck. This is just the equivalent of people who drive around with un-anchored subwoofer boxes in their hatchback. Between your legs. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Going to trade the Outback in towards a compact pickup. Suddenly, from around the corner, the '80s came screaming back to life: Please tell me this is just some slovenly car dealer's idea, and not an official Nissan style choice.

I never understood the point of those covers. Anyone who is appalled at the greasy mechanical things under the hood is not going to be popping the hood very often. Anyone who spends a lot of time with the greasy mechanical things doesn't want a cover to get in the way.

AirRaid posted:I thought the point was to get people to think "Oh it's all sealed, I shouldnt work on it myself, I should take it to the dealer and pay their really high prices to get it fixed". Anyone who would have been discouraged by a cover would never have attempted to work on it anyway. Like the specialty screwdrivers that Apple used to hold my MacBook Pro's battery in. Anyone with the gumption to replace it themselves isn't going to be stopped by a screwdriver.

dphi posted:I remember seeing a few drivers in SF a few years back that, after parking, opened their trunk and flipped down an attached cushion to protect their bumpers from parallel parkers. I thought that was a pretty cool idea. I would rather have huge stainless steel spikes than soft bumpers. Feel free to back into me, but it's going to be expensive.

Even though the Prius is less powerful, doesn't it put down a good amount of torque at low RPMs, by virtue of it being a hybrid? Yeah 295lb-ft at 0rpm. One would think that would be tougher on a CVT than the horsepower. Maybe because the Prius uses a planetary CVT instead of belts.

When I was into sportbikes, the biggest culprit was always four dudes and a pickup truck with a mattress on the bed. The truck pulls up, the dudes jump out and pick the bike up, lay it onto the mattress and drive off. Poof.
