    In reply to Hello, Officer: Ford Announces New Police Interceptor For 2011
    Hopefully the new Interceptor will be up to the durability standards of the Crown Vic.

    We spent some serious time over the weekend trying to kill one and let me tell you, it wasn't easy. It just kept going.

    It finally took lots of fire and several rifle rounds to make it officially dead. This was after many hours of Davidsfarm levels of hooning.

    Long live the Vic. #policecars

    Fine, as long as I don't have to pay for it. If they can find places to put them where they'll actually be used enough to offset their cost, build them.

    Since private industry hasn't done that yet, in spite of the technology having been available for decades, I don't think there is a strong business case for them.

    Yet anyway. #rants

    I have two suggestions for your T-shirts:

    l. Tape or pin them to your garage walls.

    2. Have some quilts made from them. Then you could raffle them off and donate proceeds to charity. #tshirt

    Another advantage of HSR is that if you’re a terrorist or an anarchist, you can cause major carnage with very little investment. A simple cow on the tracks would be devastating.

    @Flathead Smith: using that as an arguement against high speed rail (in a sarcastic tone) is akin to saying we shouldn't be allowed to live and work in tall buildings, because they are far more efficient at allowing lots of people to die when the terrorists blow them up. #rants

    In reply to America Needs High-Speed Rail
    But commuter rail leads to functioning high speed rail. It all has to work together, or else you might as well not do it.

    Also, check out the Swedish X2000 train. It has a suspension which leans it in turns, making special tracks unnecessary. Good for those countries who only want to dip a toe into HSR.

    @Mr.choppers - Delenda Carthago Est: Like the Northeast corridor, where the Acela uses just such a system. Unfortunately, you still need jointless track to attain high speeds (from what I understand). #rants

    @drewdrawshashtags: Yes. You also need tracks far enough apart so when the trains tilt, they don't hit each other. Part of the reason the Acela doesn't go as fast here as it does in France is they had to restrict the speed due to the tracks being too close together to take advantage of the full tilting feature.

    Makes you glad they figured that out _before_ they started running them, eh? #rants

    @mechimike: They actually didn't. I worked for Amtrak's insurer at the time they were testing and one of the reasons for the many delays was that the trains were hitting things when they tilted. Luckily, no severe accidents, but I think some poles were taken out. #rants
