LED light brightness is controlled by PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), basically they flicker on and off. The less time they spend off, the brighter they are, we're talking milliseconds here. When the frequency at which they are modulated happens to be synced to the camera's frame rate, they will appear to flicker on and…

Mexico was first.

Since you already have to break the law by drafting off of other vehicles, do what Car & Driver did many years ago when the original Honda Insight came out. They got like 120 mpg beating everyone by a huge margin. They got one of their support vehicles, a Chevy Astro van, bungee the doors open, blocked off the…

20,000 miles is considered high mileage? I used to drive 50,000 miles a year.

This was a land as soon as practicable situation. If it was more serious, they would have landed at one of three airports within 120 miles and not returned to SFO, 175 miles away.

Only thing better would be a Bone in full afterburners. As Jeremy Clarkson would say, "POWER!!!"

Can you use a touch screen without looking? Physical buttons are way better than touch screens when you are driving.

How distracting is road head? They should have tested that.

Based on how fast he was going and the angle he was at, I don't think he would have survived if that tractor wasn't there. Going nose first straight into 3 rows of tires wouldn't have dissipated much of the energy. If he was a couple feet to the right, he would have missed that wall and slammed into back of the guard…

Carlos Hathcock was in his own league. Chris Kyle even said in his book that he wasn't the best shot, but he happened to be the luckiest where the bad guys always ended up in the crosshairs of his scope even if he gave the other snipers the better vantage point.

The best weapon it can carry on board is a female pilot. No 72 virgins if they get killed by a woman.

The S-97 has been in development for quite a long time. Sikorsky's model numbers are based on the project's starting year. So the S-97 began its development in 1997, 17 years ago.

4th gen Subaru Legacy was offered a turbo, it just didn't sell. They are super easy to mod since it can use a lot of the Impreza WRX STi parts.

We have these speed humps every where in California. I go over 12 of them everyday. Ours are painted though. Now we still have people that fly over them. That's their fault. The speed limit is 25 mph, if you go over at 25, you will just barely get airborne.

The stupid thing about the plot was no planes can land without this software and tower communication. Well most non-ex-military pilots learned how to fly under VFR with no TCAS at uncontrolled airports. In other words, you look out the window for other airplanes, fly towards the airport and land when there are no…

You do know what Lotus stands for? Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious. LOL.

One method they didn't test was Southwest boarding using the front and rear doors which is what they do at Burbank airport due to lack of jet bridges.

They aren't scheduled for decommissioning till 2040. Hopefully it'll handle the abuse they are putting it through. The pilots have been very hard on this plane. We built some new hinges for the spoilers a few years back for a fleet wide replacement. When we inquired why they changed from aluminum to stainless steel,…

I used to live in Davis. There's plenty of chest thumping, but they can't hit the side of a barn if they were standing inside. Going to the YSA shooting range on a Wednesday morning after they have been there the day before is quite amusing. Basically everything but the targets have been shot to pieces.

Davis PD's MRAP is going back. City council gave them 60 days to get rid of it at the last meeting.
