Sorry Davey, i think Bad is technically right.

But also... neither of you are talking about cars.

No, the rhetorical question was obviously "Maybe it was a rhetorical question?"

Davey · 04-09-2015, 08:05 PM

Oh also...

So clearly I already knew the answer to the question "Like this one?"

Which means... "Like this one?" was also a rhetorical question. Man you are wrong a lot.

You crack me up. It is like giving a chimpanzee a typewriter -- he will bang away furiously yet the result is incomprehensible. He sure does have fun playing with it though.

It's funny.

Maybe it's a Florida thing, but the sign you are flashing means you prefer catching rather than pitching. At least in the Castro District of San Francisco it does. Oh well, like I said, it must be the Central Florida "bad boy" sign. Be careful flashing it anywhere else.

I am here to help.

Maybe 100 years ago, when you were my age. Things have changed old timer.

I know sometimes the brochure doesn't mean much, but still, isnt the 370Z faster?

I must know before the fast 7 premiere Thursday night, I don't wanna show up in a 370Z if it is slower than a Civic with a nice paint job and exhaust.

OP, perhaps the reason why people drive slow going uphill is because they're not driving civics. I guess gravity would have a less of an effect on lighter cars?

You would guess wrong. Gravity doesn't discriminate against weight. Hence why everything falls at the same rate.

You finally state something true, kinda.

Everything does fall at the same rate, HOWEVER in a vacuum, where there is no air resistance. You're telling me if I drop a feather and a 100-weight at the same time in windy conditions, they will land at the same time?

BTW, going uphill isn't exactly falling nor in an environment with no air resistance. If two people are running up hill, one with a 100 lb bag and the other with a 10 lb bag, which of the two do you think gravity will have the most effect on, thus working harder and running uphill slower?

I know. However, the other person stated something irrelevant. Something about gravity working for the lighter car, being the civic.
Then I stated, false.

But we are no longer talking about gravitational force in this scenario. Now we are talking about strength. If Dwayne Johnson was carrying the 100lb bag, and Peewee Herman the 10lb, Dwayne Johnson would still be at the advantage.
