We jacked up by buddy’s Camaro under the left rear to have a look at something underneath. Jacked under the shock. and got the wheel a couple inches off the ground.

You pretty much nailed it with the front and rear roll centers being out of whack. Fords have been doing this for at least as long as Jim Clark was driving Lotus Cortinas. The degree of yaw in that drift car makes it look wonkier than it really is.

there are cars you can afford to buy, and cars you can afford to own.

I bet it would have sold better than the Chevrolet SS...

People are hailing the car, and while the car is impressive. Trust me a couple of those places have been all Grosjean.

Can we just talk about how amazing the Haas Formula One team has done in their first season for a moment? Romain Grosjean just took one of their cars—in their second race ever as a team—to fifth place. Somewhere, a bald eagle is shedding a single tear of joy right now for how awesome America’s F1 team is doing.

Hey if she is talented enough to drive the Nordschleife at speed and grab her boob on camera while going through the Carousel, then I am all for it. As a matter of fact I want more.

She is just so fun to watch. Her joy is contagious.

Us mortals buy the dream. We see the bikes crossing the desert and the racers dragging elbow. We watch in awe as the young SX guys huck huge triples. We consume the motorcycle dream fully knowing we don’t have half of the skill. We buy what is possible and it feels good for a while.

Perhaps you folks don’t realize that throughout Amsterdam (and the rest of Netherlands too) there are typically no barriers/guardrails/fences etc. between parking spaces and the myriad of canals and other bodies of water. The Dutch just expect you will take the normal precautions to keep youself, your bike, and your…

They’re the midsize crossovers of the bike world. People want something that’s pretty powerful and comfortable, but they want to look and feel like they could go off-roading anytime they want. Just like a suburban family that needs something to drive every day, but doesn’t want a boring sedan or frumpy minivan.

Pretty sure that’s a Lambo dude . . .

Its not incorrect to blame oil and gas extraction as a whole, though, so one shouldn’t imply that industrial energy production methods (of which hydrolic fracturing is one type) are blameless.

I don’t think that’s it - the midwest / east coast has plenty of natural earthquakes too. The area around Memphis, TN is a well-known natural earthquake hotspot, site of the 1811 New Madrid earthquakes (long before fracking / drilling / injection wells were a thing) which were somewhere around 7.9 in magnitude and…

Takes some monstrous balls in the most monstrously cool car ever produced. Every time he was tail wagging toward the wall my heart skipped.

Honestly, the engineering for an electric car is a few magnitudes less than that of an ICE car. And on top of that, we need more new automakers to push the old automakers to get off their duff and do something innovative.

In my area of town it’s the opposite. Lots of Obama bumper stickers and dirty diapers in the parking lot. I don’t know which is more disgusting.

Well, considering that they are both 5'10" and right at 160lbs, I’d say he did do it to someone his own size. Even so, both are on the larger end of the spectrum for F1 drivers, as 5'5-6” drivers weighing 130lbs is much more common.
