Counting on the paramedics if you crash? Maybe not, in a hybrid
Yet another problem with these stupid things, I never even thought about what happens when you crash a trunk-full of high voltage batteries.

Saw it. I read an article a while back saying they're working on implementing a false exhaust sound from speakers mounted around the car to let others hear that something is coming.
Weak.

Re: Counting on the paramedics if you crash? Maybe not, in a hybrid
Reminds me of that TV ad for the VW Jetta TDI where they're making fun of the Prius 
Jabomb9: "We were both 100% nekkid and not just "messing around". [...] Good times with my sister!
AirMoore: "But you're not allergic to titties, so cheer up -This thread is for you too!"
FoolishOne: "I just noticed that the Veyron has a camel toe of sorts, on the hood. It looks like it is wearing a big panty.....big, crotchless panty."
904nm: "I had the hots for JDS for a while when I thought the avatar was photos of JDS. Dang was I mistaken. Man, to think I almost fell for a pedobear. I've got to go play some football or do something else manly to get over that mistake."
This forum has an odd obsession with poop.
happya$$: "Think of POP as POOP."
wanderingmind: "The RD gods are going to poop on you."
sethy: "Change that sig or ill poop on you"
kpatz: "It's a "men pooping while working" sign.
"
<<JAZZY>>: "Craig Peterson is a loser that needs to be thrown off a mountain into a lake of poo!"
ELVATO: "Figured I'd vote in poop threads before I called it a "night.""
MEM-TEK: "Cobras are magic poop."
upstatedoc: "And speaking of poop..."
Ω MiNATi Ω "Well this adds more pOOp to the toilet!
I need to do some research."

Yeah that's the one.
Although I make fun of the ad with the Routan (they're hyping it as "German" even though it's a rebadged Chrysler Town & Country) and the one about the free oil changes (they make out like changing your own oil is difficult or something).

Re: Counting on the paramedics if you crash? Maybe not, in a hybrid
Prii suck. And also, it isn't the voltage that we should be concerned about, it's the current. Common static electricity that we experience in a house when we are shocked or shock a door knob can be upwards of 10,000 volts. Haven't really heard of any cases of death from that. However, I know I can kill a man with a 9V battery. It's the current that's killer in most cases. KERS system in F1 cars, [alternators, distributors, coils, starters] in road cars, or capacitors that supply the juice for a flash in a camera, all high current sources that are extremely hazardous to our health.
That TDI commercial above is d@mn funny.

That's what I always understood, that it was the amps not the voltage that was deadly.
