I’m not sure about how the aerodynamics work as I’m not an engineer, but I agree 100% that an integrated duckbill spoiler does NOT need a hoop wing.  Both are great, but not together.

You missed the point though that they were always “staying” with friends or family. Maybe I didn’t elaborate enough, but think parking on people’s property they knew even though they were living in the camper. Yes it’s hard changing routines of kids (I have 3 under 7, I know), but a single kid of that age could handle…

I’m finding it hard to think of a scenario where he doesn’t come out WAY ahead on this thing. Even if he takes his sweet time and just fixes up the rust over the next few years without doing anything else, he should make a healthy profit.

An old hair stylist of mine did this with her spouse. They planned it for a full year or more. The two of them and their daughter who was maybe 2 got a much bigger camper than this, set up semi-permanent stopping points throughout the country with friends/relatives where they could park, got hotspots figured out so…

No, late ‘85. Our first home PC was a Compaq and we got it when I was in 4th grade I believe. I played multiplayer games on it with my neighbor across the street by direct dialup connection which caused both our phone lines to be tied up... and parents to be unhappy. And I’m pretty sure my elementary school used…

I think you need to drop a generation. I’m one of the oldest Millenials, and Compaq was still a living brand well into my grade school years, maybe even middle school.

Not contradicting at all. Key phrase: “...for a while, but this is where you lose me.” I then go on to explain exactly why this is too far, and how I fear for how far it will go.

But aren’t their products differentiated by their proprietary technology? I mean, we’ve had two Dyson refurbs and they do well but nothing I wouldn’t expect a Shark to do... but their hair dryer is (according to my wife) nothing short of extraordinary. Between her and my two young daughters (all with longish hair),…

What was suprising? I started with “I’ve been a vocal proponent of automatics for track use for a while”.  My track car is an auto that I drive in manual mode 99.99% of the time, on track or off.  This thing is five steps beyond not having to operate a clutch with your left foot.

I’m with you. I haven’t played MTG specifically, but in any CCG, any opponent deck that wins by avoiding interaction is frustrating. The point of these games (in my mind) is that it’s a match against an opponent. Your deck vs theirs, your mind vs theirs. When the opponent plays the exact same way regardless of your…

I retract my statement then :)

I’m assuming that it’s a neutral to positive documentary just like Patrick’s post was, seeing as we haven’t been given any indication otherwise. If you read my comment, you’ll notice that I’m taking issue with them promoting it because it will bring these guys fame.  A neutral observation of the events does that just…

Wow, we’re now equating dangerous driving with genocide? Seriously man, let’s control the boundaries of the discussion here.

I think that he took issue (as did I) with the wording. Glaring in other drivers’ eyes is dangerous, but it doesn’t stop YOU from “having great visibility down the road”.  You’ll see them fine.  How well they can see is another story.

To be fair, the BMW did it much better. I’m digging it even if it is plagiarizing the Mustang.  It’s a gorgeous car.

the transmission will use the route data to intelligently plan out what the road ahead looks like and plan shifts accordingly

While a large portion of the world’s population lives in urban areas, geographically speaking they are a tiny percentage of places where cars go. And also a large portion of the world gets more than 3 weeks of inclimate weather a year. On top of that, lane splitting is illegal in many states, including areas that are…

Not necessarily though. They could have gone with a lighter wheel.

For instance, stock wheels on my car are 2 inches narrower than what I have on it aftermarket. But my current wheel/tire setup, even being wider, weighs several lbs less at each corner.

I’d assume that engineers would consider that.  But maybe not. …

Based on =/= the people themselves. Where the people the film was based on getting famous? These people are getting their actual faces and names on the internet, and potentially a monetary benefit as well. Having a movie based on you is not the same as being in a movie starring you.
