Friday Offers Righteous Drags.

Stupidest car signage idea ever.

I like these. When my wife was shopping for a used Miata a few years back, this was also in the running, but they were harder to find and usually about $1k more costy than the Miata.

It's like an airborne burnout contest.

Heck, even just grinding them up and recycling the metal would be useful. Or was aluminum to cheap for the effort?

Indeed, it's very expensive to be poor.

That's pretty much what I figured. I've seen the same elsewhere in western states. If you don't see it all the time, it's still a bit shocking.

I'm quite astonished how many dead trees there are in these vids.

Some would say "unfussy". Generally I prefer clean lines without superfluous adornment. I like this design overall.

But with the rail pallet you don't have to worry about all that annoying steering business.

I figure we can assume that people will create purpose-built rail boards, crowd the streets with them, getting random minor traffic citations until someone gets killed, then there will be a crackdown and hardly anyone will do it after that.

I think it depends on the goal of the concept as it pertains to the goals of the company. There will always be valid reasons to build a physical car and there will be valid reasons for building a virtual car. You can suppose that a car maker is building virtual concepts to the exclusion of real ones, but who's to say…

I wonder what it would take to re-engineer the famously odd Ariel square four to make it actually work without overheating? Not make it air-cooled for one thing, but would it be enough?

Seems like it owes something to the Confederate Wraith.

Ah, they do like their hockey in MI.

"Those dimples all over the car help with fuel economy, right? Like golf ball dimples help it fly...right?"

Planking before it was cool (it wasn't really ever cool was it?).

Nope.

Yes, that's kinda my point. He did all that stuff not to make it handle better and go faster on roads and tracks but to make it look a particular way.

My barber has one of these. He did the back of my neck with it.
