Sounds like you had REALLY underpowered cars (like Miata and GR86 power wise).

It's an Acura, not a Ford.  It is just reaching it's mid-life.

I think this is God telling us to stay out of Florida.

Yeah, this is what the industry knows as a boondoggle trip. It’s a reason to party, nothing really more. Oh, they will make it sound better, but it’s just a party.

I’m not sure I follow your logic here. Here is the analogy that I use, striking and grappling is like running and swimming. You can tell the average untrained person to get into a punching match with someone else and they may do just fine...just like if you told them to run without any type of instruction.   However,…

So here is the deal. This listening array was likely a SOSUS array, operated by US Navy (& possibly British Navy) Sonar Technicians. Guess where Sonar Technicians learn their trade? For the most part, they learn it on submarines like I did. There are some surface ship STs also. But as a submarine veteran dying deep…

Not joking! That does not include the openers. There are two openers, 6:30-6:45 and 7-7:30, then she is on 8-11:30 and plays 44 songs in a row, occasionally with a single-digit minute break while the stage scenery is changed (i.e. a dozen full sized artificial trees rise up from the stage and a small 2-story cabin…

Philly: Burning bridges since 1776.

You’re probably a 40+ year old dude judging by your avatar, you’re not the target market and you never will be. The fact you don’t like it is probably the exact reason it’s so popular with people 1/3rd your age.

The total amount is 90 but that also includes steel trucks for staging and roof structures. Those get built a few days before the show and go park (or go do other runs). Most touring trucks run clean idle with generators or shore power when they’re not riding, so the drivers can sleep in them during the day.

Anyone trying to win the 24hrs of Le Mans in the first corners during the first lap is a massive crétin.

A lot of people saying we should do this in the US, but it would almost certainly not fly because of existing precedent around the Eighth Amendment prohibition on excessive fines. There is a line of cases relating to civil assess forfeiture essentially stating it’s unlawful to, say, seize someone’s house because of a…

Can we talk about how that extra window above the windshield needs to be added to every production car in the world because that window appears to be exactly where the roof of any car obstructs your view of stop lights?

This may just be a tall person problem but still, I want that window.

In this form it’s essentially a track car, in which case you aren’t doing hand over hand turns. Race cars use yokes because you don’t need the top and bottom when the steering only rotates so far. I doubt it will stay in production, though they might do some variable ratio stuff like Lexus tried. It makes more sense…

I’m not a watch guy either. I don’t know shit from Shinola.

45 MM Shinola watch. That’s too big for a watch

They’ll work just fine on pavement...there’s more than enough torque available.  They’ll just shred your tires to shit in the process.

1. If I’m driving anything larger than an SUV or pulling a trailer, you need to pull up a satellite image of wherever you want to eat before we get to the exit so I can verify we can get in, park, and get out with a minimal amount of annoyance.

Hey, it’s Whole Mars Catalog everybody!

Others have ably beat me to this, but this is such a colossally bad take that I must pile on. If you think this is how driving through crosswalks works, please surrender your license and get re-tested.
