- Tangential blowing reenergizes the boundary layer to prevent separation or turbulent transition. It doesn’t diminish the thickness of the laminar boundary layer thickness per se, and as such is a poor substitute for a rolling road. For SUV’s this is acceptable, not for cars which rely on low ground clearance,…

-No rolling road, not even an elevated platform to at least make a thinly veiled attempt at controlling the boundary layer of the floor.
-Guys standing in the airflow at random
-Smoke to ‘visualise’, but not measure airflow. Detachment point isn’t even descernible (seriously a barn door in a breeze also deflects the…

The military is out as these things were explicitly banned by the Geneva convention.

The Alfa Spider was always available and always offered loads of driving pleasure

You should get attention from authors one way or another. I do applaus your automotive choices

As an addendum (because I like the story), ‘2 CV’ literally means ‘2 horses’ as that was the taxed power of the car. Lots of pre-war french cars were ‘** CV’ to denote the fiscal horsepower.

Jason forgot to mention DAF is much better than FAF.

Reducing torque at turn in isn’t always the best thing to do. I know this because of the internet.

Mid engine is not for weight distribution. Mid engine is to keep the polar moment of inertia low, making the car change direction faster.

I was hoping for the badge to look slightly differently:

Yeah, but I wasn’t talking about blower bentleys, I was talking about Speed Sixes. Blower Bentleys are iconic but didn’t really win anything. Certainly not Le Mans.

So what you mean to say it was exactly like all other gt cars that won le mans before? The GT40 was a racecar first and foremost, and you can’t convince me the pre-war Bentleys weren’t constructed as racecars first, roadcars second.

First and only thing I could think of.

they look like shit, they are more cramped, and the lack of efficiency is not offset by any other redeeming values. You claim increased versatility but fail to substantiate. They usually have less interior space and usually offer no more off road capability compared to their sedan counterparts

Sedans will rise again. A high seating position might be more comfortabele for people who have trouble standing up, but those people are either old or unfit and therefore uncool. I’d rather have a car which is basically impossible to enter for olds (and I have).

I’ve driven one. They’re wonderful wonderful cars.

I like Ilyushin because of their neat flat-four engine arrangement (and yes I also like the VC10 for the same reason)

“low and slow” for some reason annoys me a bit. Neither is an accomplishment, and actively saying your car is lowered and not going very fast because it is lowered takes away from the intented purpose of pure aesthetics, form over function, and a bit of humor. For some reason I find that sticker insisting on itself.…

Please. You’re misreading stuff on purpose. It was not an example of what products are marketed towards whom, it was an example of the failure of your statement that ‘lifetimes of experience’ would result in the knowledge on what the best possible product for a given type of grooming would be and that no advice by men…

Your entire line of argumentation was crap, and I gave a valid real-world example where your reasoning failed. I don’t care about your wife and I especially don’t care about your wifes personal hygiene. Keep that shit to yourself.
