BTW, my opinion is that the number one mistake people make when backing a trailer is that they try to both use their mirrors and look over their shoulder. This confuses them. Only mirrors is the way to go. With the mirrors, you’re looking at somewhere further back on the trailer. Its motion to one side or the other is…

I can back a 11 meter RHIB behind a F250 crewcab down a 100 yard ramp, a car trailer behind my RV, and a 6x8 U-Haul behind a minivan. It’s those U-Haul car dollies that pivot the front wheel channels that give me fits.

Outrageous kit cars without including a DelahayeUSA Bugnotti?

Another option; rear engine, RWD. My first car when I was in high school near Chicago was a ‘66 VW Beetle. It was unstoppable. You did have to watch the tail end, but with so little power, it was hard to get in too much trouble. To give example to how unstoppable they are in the snow, a friend, who also owned a 60’s…

That’s the Formula None yellow/blue Saab with the meatball on the roof at Turn 14. I can’t quite tell who is behind the wheel.

It’s called human culture and human civilization, and it’s been interfering with natural selection — human, animal and plant — since humans first started it about 10,000 or so years ago. Little late to be whining about it now that you’re reaping all the benefits and don’t have to squat by a fire and try to train your…

It should. It’s immediately what came to my mind. I didn’t see your pic, and instead went with the song.

Maybe if they had started singing:

A Renault Turbo Fuego “ran” at CMP last September. So besides your post being about seven months OBE, we can move on to the heat death phase of the universe as every possible event has occurred.

Indeed they do.

Did I watch the same race?? Isn't the classic way to get the guy coasting along in front of you to go faster to stuff your wing up his tailpipe? Was Rosberg even able to open his DRS on Hamilton on a single lap? I sure don't remember much of a push. "Nico, you are free to pass," would have gotten Hamilton's…

Watch that you get TATE and don't get the Texan Approved Instructions for Noshing Tacos (TAINT). That requires some different procedures.

One must have both tomato and cilantro in order to have the Tex-Mex Condiment of the Gods. Pico de gallo!

I wonder how many of the "Banning grid girls doesn't really matter to me, but do we have to ban and be PC about every little thing?" people today wrote, "Some of my best friends are LGBT, but I don't get why people are so upset about this whole 'freedom of religion' law in Indiana," earlier this week

Either this is serious crackpipe, or I got a serious nice price. '96 Ford E-350 based 22 ft Class C for $6500 with about $400 in mechanical parts over the last year. Yeah, this is cute, and maybe it gets better mileage, but it can't tow and it's a toy. Might as well build one of those VW Type I Beetle RVs if your…

They're just a row of sad, motionless composite ballsacks sitting in place.

So you've run root cause analyses before? If you had, then you would would recognize that Jason, in spite of not actually using the term, is talking about a potential causal factor in the mishap. There are generally a number of causal factors leading up to a mishap, some of them human error, some system failures,…

Hey, look! Not a drag strip! Curbs! Trees! Stuff to hit! Yeah, that's not the best idea in a souped-up Mustang going flat-out.

This really is a persuasive story. Enough that I went and looked at Chump times at Sebring and compared them to our LeMons Class B Saab 900S — it's yellow/blue with a Swedish meatball on top, in case you've blown by it at CMP or Barber — and it is really not a pretty comparison. About seven cars were slower, and it…

I follow you, but considering that we're currently getting stomped on the straights by cars that we can catch up with over a span of laps, not losing entirely would be a great improvement. Thanks for the thoughts on this!
