The Delorean was easy. Plutonium was a little difficult. But where did you find a " Flux Capacitor " ?

The funny thing with all these gimmicks is that if they truly worked, don't you think the manufacturers would incorporate them into their cars already?

Naw, don't you know that THE MAN is keeping the inventions down to maintain the dominance of the oil industry and backwards technology in auto manufacturing? It's so obvious... at least according to dimwits who don't know better.

According to the OAD:

irregardless |ˌiriˈgärdlis|
adjective & adverb informal
regardless.
ORIGIN early 20th cent.: probably a blend of irrespective and regardless .
USAGE Irregardless, with its illogical negative prefix, is widely heard, perhaps arising under the influence of such perfectly correct forms as : irrespective. Irregardless is avoided by careful users of English. Use regardless to mean 'without regard or consideration for' or 'nevertheless': : I go walking every day regardless of season or weather.


It wasn't a word - until enough morons started using it.

damn you beat me to this, well irregardless it's still funny  [cheeky]

Didn't the Mythbuster's do a whole show on all the Gas Myths  ???

THAT is the problem.  Mythbusters is not science, or even engineering.  Their testing standards are worse than most grade school science labs.

Probably true, but that show still sucks me in every time.  Did anyone see the plane crash one?  All the dummys broke their legs when the seats collapsed by the impact.  Then THEY got in the chairs and they all bruised their shins.  Even if its not true, if I ever go down in a plane Im hugging my legs to my chest.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

The gas mileage episode pretty much just tested out "hypermiling" techniques, drafting and such at least that is all I remember from it.  Gas mileage improves drastically behind a truck, which is obvious.  Any long trip I take I look for a fast moving semi and tuck in.  Helped my Grand Cherokee to get upper 20's mpg on several trips.  Which is signifigantly better than the 17 at speed limits and 15 at speeding.

I hope you don't do that on your bike!  You wouldn't want to be behind it if it throws a tire. :o
