There's a reason why small cars weigh 3000+lb now (unless they're Civics), they
are much stiffer and stronger than they used to be.

Long story but a recent car accident here in the news happened between a
F150 - probably 2006 or so judging by the photo in the paper - and an

There has been a migration to requiring Course Packs. These are
reprints of articles and notes required in addition to the textbooks.
Interestingly, many of them are authored by the professors teaching
the course and come with a hefty copyright fee. Too bad professors

I had to pay some $100 for a course pack about a year ago. It was a
stack of 40 poorly photocopied sheets of paper, some of which were
