You'd think those mechanical systems could be made in such a way that when the cable malfunctions it should default to the idle position and not get stuck WOT!

I ride very old motorcycles exclusively and if there's any mishap with the throttle cable (rarely, but it can happen), then said machine reverts to idle…

Really?

I thought all you had to do was crash Toyotas into peoples' houses randomly and just use the relevant excuse :)

Best comment.

Is the speed camera really fooled by such a disguise!

What if the camera picks up the number plate instead and finds out.... it's not Clarkson's car? :) Just wondering.

Also makes him look like he's possessed by the Devil or something.

Wear this and you might just be shot in the face by random people!

This video reminds me of the time where I bought my first motorcycle and was a law abiding rider being bullied all around the road.

Things I learnt to keep myself alive:

1) Lanesplit to infinity and beyond
2) Ride 5-10mph faster than everyone else
3) Accelerate faster than everyone else (avoids side-swiping incidents)
4)…

Great idea, now instead of easily wiping down the car, you'd have to dig your fingers into every single hole...

Haha class, I watched that awesome movie just 3 days ago.

The subject video in non-potato resolution would be nice :)

All I know is, I can take my own Swede time with meatballs and massages :)

Shush, all Jalopnik needs to do is to create an article documenting the concept of attaching a cosmonaut-favourite Lada Niva 4x4 to serve as a Command and Earth Descent Module!

And then there shall be coupe, wagon, and even convertible versions!

Although I heard that using a manual transmission can be difficult, as the…

Aerojet?

The NK-33 and NK-43 engines derived from the N-1's NK-15s remain one of the most powerful liquid fuel engines today in terms of specific impulse and thrust to weight ratio.

I'd buy one, if it came with a giant "laser" in the cargo bay.

Dear Jalopnik,

The precision of that maneuver is like clockwork. So precise.

In slow motion you can even observe the individual rotational forces at work while rider and bike are both in mid-air.

That's genius!

And I would totally buy whatever car that they said resembled the Lunar Module :)

Ironically that's what I always say to SAAB drivers that fetched me home sometimes.
