Apparently they were doing acceleration runs for the audience that evening all night long, at least for several hours. The driver shown in the video was also on the latest VinWiki video and spilled a few more beans there.

Here in Germany, an emailed quote is a direct offer of the dealer side, and if the client replies with a “yes, I’ll take that offer on the terms that you mentioned in it” then it is a deal. Unless there was an obvious error in writing, like forgetting a zero at the end of the total sum or similar.
Between companies,…

ah, since the XBO controllers work great on any PC, Microsoft is actually selling a lot of them to PC gamers. (that has been the case since the 360 controllers, and if you use the MS provided remote dongle, you can use 10 controllers on one single PC if you like)

Lots of players still see the X360/one controllers as…

I’d rather say they make less money than if I’d use xbox live, but still, they’d make money.
I am wondering though, their new subscription costs 10€/month (less if you use prepaid cards and rebates) and you can play over a hundred titles for that amount, and get access to all new released games. Hmmm... basically for…

Why are MS losing money if you still buy their first party games for PC?
I especially like it that more and more games can be bought through their store and then played on PC or the box with a single purchase. Since I can access my games library on any console anywhere, and gigabit internet is on the rise here (and…

There is no “right” system. All that matters are the games. So what if they are not exclusive to a console? Even better then, I’ll just play it on the system I have here, and even better if I can play them with my friend who for some reason has a completely different system.
The rest comes down to personal taste. I own…

CP because the Multiair has a real ton of problem, most of which only become apparent when you use this as a seasonal car, putting it on stands in the winter. There is some problem with the engine when leaving it not running for an extended period of time, this is an inherent flaw in all Multiair engines. Since most…

The Cell processor was practically produced in tandem with the Xbox360 processor, both by IBM. The Xbox 360 CPU is a custom 6-core affair, which had nothing to do with PC hardware. The cell processor wasn’t really that innovative, it was just more specialized. On the other hand, the PS3 was hurt by the strict memory…

I followed some kind of build thread on a German forum. He said that the shifing is mostly cosmetic, the engine has enough torque to start in a higher gear, and he said somewhere that he mostly drives it in third gear all day long. It was more of a practical thing to keep the whole axle/drivetrain setup, iirc you…

It would be very easy to end all of this nonsense: Have Autopilot always stay at exactly the allowed speed limit and always keep the safety distance from the car in front as mandated by law.
In Germany, there would be so many other cars pulling in between you and the car in front of you that the autopilot system would…

Why future electric 911?
The future is here.

if only I could really spell/speak gaelic ;)
still, I haven’t yet tasted a single Irish or American Whiskey that was to my taste.
Not as evil as the Bavarian stuff though... Bavarian, Barbarian - all sounds the same, there must be a reason for that.

Chevrolet? They are selling the Corvette and the Camaro as we speak in Germany, look at their website. All the ugly Daewoo cars that were sold under the Chevrolet brand name are gone. No more “Chevrolet Matiz” :D

it is Whisky without an e, everything else is just sweetened toothache.

They just didn’t think the original name through.
Sooner or later they would’ve had to make a more powerful version, and that would’ve ended up as the Mission-R-E.

It behaves quite well around corners. See:

But they did remember to thaw them before firing, right? Not like the alleged test at Boeing where they shot the chicken directly through the canopy glass ^^

:D I still have a sampler from Technics (the hardware brand) that had this song on it, but in its earliest form. The band was called “Toma Boys” back then, this was before it hit the clubs and the charts ^^

You should look up the Volvo 480 at some time (and drive one). Another one that the US didn’t get, they are becoming rare though because their price was too high, not that many were made over its 10 year run, and spare parts are now mostly unavailable (a set of non-cracked rear lights can cost more than a used spare…
