I had #2 happen to me with an old beater car once. That's some scary shit - fortunately it happened at a relatively low speed like 40-45mph and I was able to safely pull off to the shoulder without further incident.
#3 Try that with a piece of hardwood like oak. Or maple, ash or hickory. You will find it doesn't work near as well. Every video of these, and there are hundreds on YouTube, seem to use poplar or birch, never wood that is "stringy".
Won’t last long anyway, the bearings supporting the rotor are not designed for weight in that axis. Slapping the wood down to get it started imparts quite the shock load.
#3) I was thinking the same thing. Those screw splitters work great on light, straight-grained cold climate trees like alder, birch, beech, spruce, white pine, fir, and maybe sugar maple. All the tree types we definitely don't have in the Deep South. Our tulip poplar might work. But set a log of common red oak or hickory on that thing and it will break your arm.

#7 seems like a humorless spoiled prima donna. Probably doesn't like anything long anywhere around her face.
