1930-1960

Cars have reached a point now where they are too safe, and drivers are no longer paying as much attention. If cars were a little bit sketchy to drive, people would pay more attention and be a little more excited about their cars. New cars are so boring, I don't fucking care that every single new base model modern shitbox gets numbers at the dragstrip that would have been very respectable back when cars were fun.

hmm
rly makes u think

No, he's right. Not everyone is special. The world population is overall much dumber as the years go on, since less intelligent people breed faster. Much faster.

Racist piece of shit

It's not a racism thing. An educated person spends their young years in school, then they get into a good career, and then they have kids when they're in a good place in life and it's convenient. Stupid people start pumping out kids right off the bat, and have to lean on government support just to exist. It's got nothing to do with race, you're just putting that in there yourself because of the people you see doing what I'm talking about.

Everyone knows I am right, but nobody will say it.

So what I am saying is, we don't need all this safety bullshit in cars. Bring back fun cars!

>nothin personal kid

>The world population is overall much dumber as the years go on
It's actually the opposite, smart one

no one mentioned race you silly black bastard

That's just fake intelligence, people learning IQ tests and so one

>Cars have reached a point now where they are too safe, and drivers are no longer paying as much attention. If cars were a little bit sketchy to drive, people would pay more attention
Yep. I guarentee if all cars game with a spike where the driver airbag currently resides, we would see much safer driving.

>tfw when you drive a 2000lbs '89 Golf

Although it's nice driving a car that's so light,it comes with a price of not having stuff that you would expect of any modern car,like AC,power steering,powered mirrors,no ABS,etc.

I doubt normies would want to buy a car without those things in today's day and age.

>Implying knowledge is genetic
>Implying IQ has anything to do with knowledge

Fun fact, people with exceptionally high IQ's and no social disorders typically don't pursue much education.

If your idea is genocide anyone who doesn't a masters you're not going to be getting the most capable population.
Funny thing is, engineers are some of the stupidest people you'll ever meet. Yet they're regarded as smart by the public.
Fucking jokes man. The whole world.

>AC,power steering,powered mirrors, ABS
None of those are exceptionally heavy you stupid fucking faggot.
And ABS is trash. Kill yourself.

No, I meant how you can just drive a new car around without a car in the world and it will generally be okay, because of all kinds of electronic driver aids and numb steering.

>1930-1960
>car almost entirely made from steel,wood and other heavy shit

Most were not made of heavy shit, they were made as cheaply as practical with cosmetics rather than mechanical or structural robustness as main considerations.

They were unsafe at any speed except parked and the fucking body counts per mile bear that out unequivocally. The old gory safety films were cool though.

>I prefer cars to be more reliable and funnier to drive.

I grew up working on that old shit when it was plentiful. They were not in any way more reliable than today's vehicles. They wore out much quicker, hence their design for easy but mandatory frequent maintenance. Brakes were so shitty it was common to see brake shops all over hilly country. Points ignitions were easy to troubleshoot but they frequently needed maintenance. Carbs eventually got good but more quickly serviceable is not more reliable. There was no such thing as "handling" by modern standards.

Old cars are technical garbage but they are pretty. Buy them for the art and enjoy, but don't lie to yourself. There's good reason modern repowers of old cars are so popular.

Fuck off useless cunt

I was being serious.

No, I am not implying knowledge is genetic. When you raise children in a household where the adults are responsible, contributing members of society they generally teach their kids better habits and work ethic.

Holy shit, I re-read that in a non-sarcastic way and decided you're right. That's fucking genius. I like you. I have a new love for Takata now.

Depends entirely on the kid.
You'll see a nigger in the hood define his own morals and get out of the hood and become something.
And you'll see a privileged rich kids from the gated walls of rich town become a bank robber.

Parents are very rares a childs role model.

>tripfag

Kek. Yea it would look fucking wicked too, maybe have the spike embossed with the manufacturer logo.

No, I was thinking of having the spike hidden in the steering column, and have it blast out in the same situation the airbag would have protected you. That's what my reference to Takata was, with their overpressured cartridges for airbags. Also, there were some knockoff cheap replacement airbags on the market a while ago that someone had filled with screws.

>The world population is overall much dumber as the years go on, since less intelligent people breed faster. Much faster.
>Stupid people start pumping out kids right off the bat, and have to lean on government support just to exist.

Some USA welfare programs turn off after 2 years, but the loophole is the killer. To avoid turn off of social welfare benefits if someone doesn't work, they only need to have dependent young children.

It's because of that loophole that many people keep on having lots of young children all the way up to when they no longer can. This maintains housing, medical (before obamacare), welfare, and other social benefits. Keeping that loophole there is part of the problem since it created a lot of unintended consequences.

not a viable solution in america where people NEED to drive

The amount of retardation on this board does actually surprise me at times.

>nowadays car are expensive as fuck
No they're not, adjusting for inflation shows that prices have been pretty close to the same for a very, very long time.

Wew. Yea I knew what you meant by Takata, but I had envisioned a nice spike sticking out from the wheel. But your description sounds so much more explosive. Maybe we can have it be in the wheel with the manufacturer logo being the tip of the spike, and upon a crash it shoots out like an airbag.

That's still expensive as fuck. We use much cheaper materials than steel like plastics and lightweight metals. If not for safety and emissions shit nowadays cars would be cheap as dirt.

>engineers are some of the stupidest people you'll ever meet.
As a machinist I back this 100%. The amount of absolutely stupid engineering I see on a daily basis is insane.

Yes but i and everyone else i know would like to live, fuck off with that "humans are a diease" shit

As an engineering student I can back thid up, most of my colleagues struggle with the concept of a dorr that needs to be pulled rather than pushed

That example shows those engineering students suffer more from human ego than from engineering philosophy. Entering a building, pulling the door open results in a stronger door versus unlawful entry. And exiting a building with goods in hand is easier if the door is to be pushed outwards. Those are engineering design ideas of benefit to actual users of the building.

But someone who approaches a building with the idea of "I am the most important person in the world to myself" is going to want to just push his way into the building rather than pulling the door open.

Door open out for evacuation. It reduces the risk of trampling.

You're just some simple minded, stupid hands-on laborer that doesn't understand why things need to be designed a certain way. I work with you people every day. You complain that it should have been designed this way and that way, but cannot understand when one of the engineers shows you how it wouldn't fucking work like that and is not what the customer wanted. For the most part, the engineers are too nice and say "ok we'll look into that" rather than tell them the truth (that they are straight retarded), so they end up with this delusion that their ideas are better, the engineers are dumb, and somehow nobody in the company is listening to their golden genius ideas.

seriously though, one of them borrowed a mechanical pencil and just stared at it as if it was a gift from the gods

The Taurus changed catagory. It used to be midsize, now it's fullsize, replacing the Crown Vic.
