Things don't get fixed until something happens. Take Alex Zanardi's crash at Indy. The response time was pathetic because protocol didn't allow any vehicles to travel backwards on the track. He was within 100 yards of the safety vehicles, but they have to travel the full length of the track to get to him.

Read Driving Ambition. There was a lot of emphasis by Gordon Murray that the car was not to be a race car. They put quite a lot of work when the parent company told them to make it into a race car since things like the suspension was not designed for racing.

F1 was designed without power steering, power brakes, or even ABS which was pretty much standard equipment on cars back in the mid 90's.

The F1 was designed as a road car with no intentions of ever being a race car. It was even designed with a set of suitcases including a golf bag. The tires weren't even super low profile like they use today for drive-ability, 235/45R17 and 315/45R17.

The reason the Air Force didn't want it is because the original plane came from the Navy. It's that simple.

What Canada needs is the Avro CF-105 Arrow.

That's why Los Angeles told Obama to use a helicopter when he's in town.

Audi should have made the R8 TDI.

It was a barrel roll, not an aileron roll. You cannot maintain +1g in an aileron roll. Once you go inverted while traveling in a straight line, it become -1g. The fuel pumps don't like it when the fuel is at the top of the tank.

Doing a loop in a BO-105 is nothing. These old farts were doing it in a CH-53.

This isn't the first time that has happened in Michigan. There's a sculpture that was commission to local artist after a new university was put up. Well they wiped out a low income area to do so. The sculpture is now at UCLA. It's a big black cactus looking thing. But if you move to the right angle, it is a big hand…

Always wanted a 850 T5R. My current DD, does have a license plate frame that says "You've been passed by a wagon."

I'm Asian too, and I didn't pick up on it when I watched it. Slope refers to Asian eyes like slant eyes, while white folks are round eyes.

Not for too much longer. The last squadron is in the transition phase over to the Growler..

Looks like SAE Mini Baja envy. Guess the Formula guys got tired of driving around in parking lots.

Hello, it's a bro-magnet. Last week, I went to the airport to pick up my girlfriend. She said the second I pulled up, every guy was checking out my BRZ. I've only ever had one girl comment on my car, she was 10 years old.

The most American Lamborghini title should belong to the prototype SUV that they built while Chrysler owned them. It was essentially a rebadged Jeep Grand Cherokee.

A quick search on Google show this electric Beetle did it in 1.6 seconds for 0-60. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/ar…

The pilot's full response from another forum.

$1200 is cheap. If you have an EMS helicopter come and pick you up, it's a minimum $15,000 charge the moment the skids clear the ground, then it's a few hundred dollars per mile.
