Sure. Compared to last year, it is. Fair enough, but I get the feeling fc is joining the "is our airlines safe?" media bandwagon.

This incident will hopefully by the last in an unusually traumatic year for commercial aviation.

They're designed to withstand stresses far beyond anything the natural world can throw at them.

No. Pretty sure a LS swapped Miata is the answer. I drove one recently. Flyin' Miata setup, overpressurized power steering and all made it insanely fun to drive sideways.

Or the venue just cancels the agreement all car clubs period. Some venues are really shaky with autocross events and what not already.

The subsequent discovery in the late 50s or whenever that lead was causing all sorts of problems is also an interesting one. The geochemist Clair Patterson was trying to calculate the true age of the Earth by lead-lead dating, was having trouble eliminating all external sources of lead from his experiments which gave…

No more smoke. The buildings have been pretty much demolished, can't tell they were even there except in couple spots. The one stretch of abandoned highway is filled with graffiti. 99% of that graffiti: penises.

Why don't they have a spare or two that the swap in? Can rebuild that elsewhere while it runs. Not that that saves a whole lot of time when the run takes 5 seconds.

Not if it's the water pump above an optispark. Those go out pretty regularly.

I mean, they know the weight. They an get a pretty good friction estimate. And they know the 1/4" trap speeds. Can probably get a good estimate, although the margin of error is probably +/- 200 hp.

Where is that? When is that? I recently went it and it was ... underwhelming.

That sounds like bull. The speed is calculated by the phone. The GPS "chips" just receive position signals, and perhaps calculate it to Lat/Lon/Alt before giving it to the rest of the phone. So it would be some lame software addition to "limit" it to 200mph. All of mine have worked at 30,000 ft and 550+ MPH.

6. Never ease on/off the throttle. It's all or nothing. This will help warm up the snow and tires, giving you more traction and safety.

Softer, sloppier 280Z? The 280Z has better metallurgy and thicker panels at that. It rusts far less as easy as the 240Zs. It also weighs a bit more.

Wow. That's terrible. But guess what? Crashing into other cars would have been the best way to slow the bus down gradually, instead of crashing the entire bus (full of people) airborne then into a ditch. Everyone could have survived. Even better than that would be to grind against the side of buildings.

Hey, some VWs have separate gas cap lights. And some of them tell you which tire is low. Then again the map/interior lights in our GTI are what I call, 'out of sync'. Press the button to turn on the interior lights, and one map light comes on while the other goes off. Turn the interior lights off button and they all…

A computer may react better than the majority of drivers in a fairly routine panic situation, but a skilled driver is taking in and processing much more information than any current computer-driven system can hope to.

I'd like to think they'd just complain that the ad's too serious/offensive.

Great! Now's a great time to get her fixed. I hope she has a home for all those puppies.

And that stupid epic orchestral music was not relevant for 99% of the footage.
