All awesome, but I’ll stick to the (slightly) more affordable Tamiya versions.

I read an article on it once.

I laugh when I see that Boston owns two of those, and lended one to DC. When I was in Montreal I think they must have had 300 of them all over the city and suburbs. By law they have something like 48h to clear out everything after a storm.

Pow, right in the feels Torch. My earliest gearhead memory is standing on the floor of my grandfather’s Model T(this is in 1996 on back roads mind you), helping him row through the gears. I’m way too excited to watch you raise your son vicariously through the lens of press cars.

Excel is love, Excel is life. Embrace Excel and it's infinite spreadsheets.

I’m glad you explained what competitive parking was, because I seriously envisioned: “That’s a pretty good parking job, between the lines on the sides, looks level, front is close to line, but not over, but you’ve got 12.6 feet on the left, and 12.7 on the right. Watch a professional work, junior!”

So as I understand it, this is the market positioning of the small British street-legal trackday car makers:

:O I made Jalopnik?! Very cool, thanks for the love! Here’s a few pictures, too.

I had somehow missed out on the existence of the Beechcraft Starship until an establishing shot in an episode of Murder She Wrote on Netflix clued me on to them. So goddamn cool. Tailless. Pusher. Canards. Winglets. Oh, my.

Everything should have forward canards. Everything.

On geologic timescales, yes the atmosphere would get stripped away again.

I’ve got a Kramer bread knife that I use daily...it’s a great piece of work.

My dad didn’t bust his ass dodging the draft so you could ask me questions like that.

For the last 20 years, I’ve been playing in the Abilene Philharmonic, and whenever I’m in town (I live in Austin), I spend my free time out at Rister Park, smoking cigars and watching the show. I’ve gotten some pretty good spots out there, including this E-4 and this P-8. And here’s a Dyess Bone for good measure.…

Visibility is similar across full-face helmets. It’s minimally mandated at 105 degrees to each side and we humans can only use 90 degrees of that.

THIS. Jalopnik needs more of this, and this would have made a great reality show!

Christoph Waltz may be the Bond villain we’ve been waiting for. He strikes just the right balance between evil, ruthless and crazy.
