As a professional photographer, I see the value in this kind of image if that’s what the client requested. But in reality these are so heavily edited you lose the real craft of photography in favor of the cool photoshop work and in turn you lose the real character of the subject

I was not comparing them, but I know that eventually a NASCAR fan will say this ain’t no big deal, they do that at Daytona and Talledega all race long.

Very true. The banking assists the stock car with its lack of downforce.

Wandering all over the place.

The Solstice and Sky had the look, great styling, but very much a poser when compared to the Miata. The Prowler was made for old farts to cruise in with the AC on. I have yet to this day understood the fascination with the DeLorean. I’ve been around one, ridden in it. A complete turd, through and through. It makes the…

I know many will compare this to NASCAR where they make long continuous runs at full throttle at the super tracks, but with maybe 3-5 degrees banking and 220mph it takes a lot of commitment, knowing is going to be really, really bad if something goes wrong at the corner entry and exit.

And if it all came to light, that the entire sordid episode was contrived to allow a huge media storming exit and segue perfectly into the the New Generation Top Gear, how would you feel?

I probably said all the same things before I purchased a smart phone, but this is a less than useful device in my mind. And with the cost of the unit, you can purchase a pretty nice analog timepiece that will pretty much last the rest of your life with worse handling.

I bet they both had a blast riding around for the day. Obviously its horses for courses, a a huge long track, the big Superbike is a lot faster, but on a technical track the Supermoto machine is at home. I imagine for the rest fo us, the Supermoto is more fun and easier to explore its outer envelope than the Superbike…

BRILLIANT!

I was comparing base model vs base model.

Just back it thru.

I thought that’s what all of Philly looked like.

When comparing base line vehicles in my area, there’s only $4k difference in sale price between the Colorado vs the Silverado. The trucks are similar size (Colorado 74” wide x 213” long vs 80” wide vs 206” long), the Colorado offers an extended cab as base but an adult isn’t going back there so its basically storage…

Therein lies the problem. You are probably better off buying the base-line full sized truck than the little one. It may cost slightly more, but for the same mileage and operating costs you get a lot more truck.

I have had a lot of casting patterns made from SLA by a local supplier and I know they had the capability to run simulated printed castings with their machines for proof of concept and machining characteristics before investing in very expensive patterns for large scale casting/forging work for Mercedes and other…

Interesting. My experience with parts like these is they suffered from low structural integrity and porosity within the part, they basically performed like a very bad and cheaply made casting. Should be a way to make very complex, very low production components with good repeatability if the parts hold up to intended…

More of everything to hate baseball about. The tracking, cataloging and comparison of data and minutia that has nothing to do with who won or lost the game. Is there any wonder its not the past time it used to be? It’s basically a coma inducing game on TV interrupted by sporadic intense moments of action that usually…

Printing sintered metal has been around for a long time. The real break through is the matrix adhesive or bonding agent to hold it together for the usage intended.

There is only one thing to do Doug. Go down to the local Military Surplus and stock up on black BDUs and a pair of Army issue boots. Get a black windbreaker and have JAL stenciled on the back, like you see the DEA/FBI wear on TV. Make sure you are seen by your neighbors running out of the house and jumping into the…
