    Does your car pass the moose test?

    Does your car pass the moose test? (Moose test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) The moose test is a test to determine how a certain vehicle acts when the driver evades a suddenly appearing obstacle (such as a moose on the road).

    It’s bad news if you have a Lexus, Mercedies A Class or a VW, but goods news for Porsche owners or even better if you have a ten year old Citroen.

    IMHO a driver un-used to a Porsche will do worse on a moose test than they would in any other car design, i.e. it might be better with a trained driver, but what about ordinary Joe?

      Get a Hummer, what moose?
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        My S2000 would easily avoid the moose, but in the hands of most people would then spin 960 degrees and come to a stop upside down in a ditch and on fire.

          As long as your girlfriend passes the moose test a hummer may well be the best choice.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            I was out in mine around Rochdale last Saturday night and got looked at by a couple of dogs, 2 monsters, a swamp donkey, a few pigs and a bull dog chewing a wasp but no mooses yet. Maybe I need to try Bolton

              Or Glasgow, where they are reputed to have giant necrofiliac rabbits that exhume dead Glaswegians. I think it was minestrone that saw them.

                  I was talking to somebody in Glasgow who had trouble with a moose the other day. Apparently it was loose about his hoose.
