Also cares far less about Cars, unless they transform into Robots.
:lol:

Robots in disguise, eh? So they are more then meets the eye after all.

(It's funny. You Tube it.)

Which toe would you give up?

Oh yeah....they got that now.
They even got ride vehicles over there that don't need a track.:lookaroun

Except that Americans make inferior cars and Epcot is supposed to be about all the countries of the world.

I have only owned Chevy's since 1985
The latest is my avalanche.
It has almost 100,000 miles and its running strong as when it was new.

Most everyone I know has Chevy's.
Even if something did go wrong they are cheap to fix.

Mooby's! (I thought we were throwing out references to the genre)...

This is so dependent on how you care for your vehicle. My parent's '85 Maxima went 200,000+ miles. Our 2nd Honda was horrible and was quickly returned as a lease in under the 3 year term. Our current Honda is 86k and going strong.

I think Steve should add "automotive manufacture" to the list of subjects not to be discussed on WDWMagic.

^ Greenland was named that by the Vikings, in hopes of getting more of them to come over and settle and populate it.

They knew, even then, that calling it "great big island of rock and ice," wasn't going to get anyone to come. Call it primitive tourism.

Would american cars be covered by such a title?

For the time being. In a few years who knows.

I burnt my bra years ago

Did you toss your medals too? :lol:

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

Did you toss your medals too? :lol:

Only my Queens Jubilee medal, I kept my campaign medals and for some unexplained reason never got my Long Service Good Conduct medal to be able to toss it.

Awesome!

Now getting back to the subject, I would like to see an actual crash simulation added to the Test Track attraction.

Maybe something along the lines of this:

Now I would hate to see what would happen to this Smart Car if it was impacted by a larger vehicle.

Well, that's what is represented when the doors open to go out into the loop.

(Speaking of that...maybe the new sponsor can "fix" that crash test!!!!)

When the attraction first opened there was a "crash simulation". Just as you rounded the corner after dodging the truck you caught what looked like the last second of a barrier test. The car moved froward about 5' hit the wall, the fenders and the hood buckled and it reset shortly after you went past. Unfortunately it met the same fate as many of the other cool effects in attractions at WDW. (ie the jeep in KS, laser effects in Dinosaur, etc, etc.

Slain by the pen wielding counter of beans on a quest to satisfy the appetite of the institutionalised holders of shares.

Tis indeed a noble and honourable cause

I have "heard" that many many times, but have never seen it in an authoritative source.

^ I took a class in college with one the most reknowned Northernlands, Canada, and Eskimo and Viking professors in the country at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It was in the text book he used and consulted on.

I wish I had it, but that was years ago and probably went for beer money.

At least it went for good reasons

I was going to put that down in my post, but I was not sure if it was true, and some quick googling turned up nothing concrete, so I left it off.

Good to know it is fact.
