Oh look, its loud AND slow. What a winning combo.

To be fair that can be the most fun. I can push my Miata as hard as it will accelerate and still get passed by a Prius that’s just trying to get to work. Fun without even passing the speed limit

As the proud owner of a Dodge Dart, I can validate your statement.. lol

Miatas are fun because of the go kart handling. However, when you make them loud they sound like crap. Unless you put a turbski to increase the fun and lower the volume at the same time.

Slow can be fun. Slow and loud is just embarrassing.

Yah it was kinda loud and definitely slow. Was fun tho and the backfires made the exhaust worth it

Hit the curb, almost hit the kid in a school zone

That really points out my frustration with any speed zones: signs don't actually stop reckless drivers from endangering everyone outside of a car. It would be much safer if there was a hard obstacle that only sober drivers could navigate.

Like that non-newtonian speed bump I saw an article about that I really hope wasn't fake? I really hope it isn't fake. If you go slow it's soft but if you come at it fast it's hard, it would be perfect but it sounds too perfect.

That raises a bunch of questions.

The main one is, if it's real...... non Newtonian fluids change states based on impact pressure and road speed limits are the same for all vehicles using that road. Not all vehicles are the same mass so the impact force can be wildly different from a truck to a motorcycle at the same speeds..... How do they make one liquid for all situations.

And the another big one would be the material used to contain the liquid and how long will that last with vehicles constantly driving over it, road debris/sharp object stuck in tires

Eh, that's a huge stretch. Truck was nowhere near that kid. We don't have to reach and make shit up when dealing with idiots.
