Most people are very unattractive and, quite rightly, hide their faces from the public while on the road. A few people are very attractive, and unafraid to show the people how cool they look while driving. We own spiders, cabriolets, and targas.

Connecticut plates, on Nantucket.

100% hats-off respect to the 90-lb women who hurled herself into the middle of this. Wow.

Lol, I’ve never thought of that “Broken windows” application, but it’s genius!

“Beech Bonanza/Debonair In-flight Structural Failure Events 1962-2007

This, we need this:

Indycars are sexier than F1, I said it, and that livery is fire.

GETS. UP. EARLY!

Appreciated! I am really curious as to whether public parking structures are going to invest in suppression systems that can deliver the volume of water needed at the exact location of a burning EV. Keeping adjacent cars from lighting off seems possible to me.

I would also like to know more about this. My understanding is that a massive amount of water is just the starter in putting out an EV, though maybe the argument is that it would limit other vehicles from next catching on fire. AFAIK, you’d need a supression system more like this, triggered by a welding spark, to put…

What are the other savings? I’m a road cyclist, I choose to live in a amazingly walkable downtown, but as a planner 0.017 percent of a budget doesn’t move the needle for me.

So that’s $18 Million a year, before any costs for the “pedestrian-friendly programs.” On an annual city budget of 107,000 Million. About 0.017 percent of that budget. Please.

Not quite. I wrote below for another response. What I think he was trying to do was depower the main by flattening it but instead inverted the curve between the two sections, making the shape inside out. I can’t quite tell from the video, but there are about 7 different vectors involved between the foils, the sail,…

Watch AC 37 off Barcelona, I can’t wait. It’s very different sailing than we’re used to, but I think it’s still sailing. Once foils and apparent wind started moving boats faster than true wind the sport added a whole new gear. I think it was Ken Read calling AC 34 at San Franciso, during the final beat with the two…

As a complete Eurosnob, who grew up on Prost and Lauda, and who has thought more than a little about painting a car in JPS livery...Nah. I was waiting for Kansas to start, where I saw them going five-wide into a corner, with the second car diving through the first and third at the exact same time as the fourth was…

Yes. The “sail” is actually a hard fabric-covered wing in two vertical sections. The in-and-out trim of the entire wing is controlled by “grinders” who are spinning a winch to take it in and out. The “curve” between the two vertical sections is powered by batteries, changes the lift of the surfaces, and is controlled…

I was a nationally ranked dinghy sailor and have crewed across the Atlantic 3 times. Throw in another 5 Annapolis-Bermudas, among others. I’ve sailed. Your perception of today’s top-level sailing competition is uninformed.

Data showed he HAD hit that button seven times before the mishap, just meaning that the system was working correctly and that it was operator error instead. Just to be clear, the incident was not caused by Diaz de Leon repeatedly trimming the wing incorrectly.

Seems harsh, France.
