Wait. That's not good.


You do have a point... :P

You say low which means the probablility still exists. Maybe not a child but perhaps some wandering person out late nights. And here you come rocketing down a residential area at 80 miles per hour. That poor pedestrian is going to NOT survive whatsoever. Going such speeds in residential areas is grossly reckless no matter what time of day.

[http://public.csusm.edu/bcline2000/imgs/emot-eng101.gif] Just for you math people, a one ton car going 80 mph is going to have a KE of...581,308 J. Of course, I converted units.

http://www.cardomain.com/id/ltcolvortex <-- turbo pics on page 3. His '98 (pictured) was wrecked by a 15passenger Ford van (tboned his front left quarter at ~45mph)..he has the same turbo in a '99 now.

I'm toying with the idea of turbocharging my '86 MR2..but I'm not sure if I want to deal with all the work involved. :p

I'd also like to do a V6 swap (Avalon engine) into my Corolla...but it would be incredibly difficult, since nobody has done it before. Someone swapped one into a new MR2, though, and it was really complicated. Maybe some day..


I gotta learn more about his car. With those injectors it should be going through gas at a pretty good rate, not to mention the rest of the setup. You've given me a new research project :)

Laws != constant state of logic.

We definitly should legalize suicide. I can't believe there is actually a law against taking your own life. It's your freakin life...if you want to kill youself you should be allowed to.

Maybe the government feels that suicide is way to avoid paying overdue taxes, debts, loans, etc. Or maybe suicide is a bad influence on society that may negativily affect others. Or maybe you are a criminal, and you haven't faced your full term of punishment in the real world.

There probably is a good reason they made it "illegal." I dunno.

And this is why I'm not a big fan of the Religious Right.
