On a related note, I actually tried to argue to my insurance agent that my premiums should be lowered because all my cars are manuals. They have lower theft rates and I would suspect less distracted driving issues (particularly as it relates to my two kids in their 20s). He laughed... my premium stayed the same.
 
I know it is only a Bimmer.....but how on earth does the post hold up and what engine or elastic band is in the car to get to these speeds? I think some movie SFX techie did this. What do you think?

Stella awards following the McDonalds coffee in the lap suit.

FIRST PLACE

This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was: Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down? $1,750,000, plus a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home.
 
What gets me is how any jury/judge can reward stupidity.
Soon they will have a warning on documents that you may inadvertently cut your hand by turning pages.
If that is a fact and not an urban legend. I've heard that before in many variables.
