Aw, man. Well, here's my post-nominal pick. The Wildgoose Mini Camper:

Los Angeles will miss you, too, Torch.

I've always wanted to put a Innocenti guage cluster in my Mini. But then I feel like I'd be an asshole for (1) putting it a non-Innocenti Mini and for (2) putting it in a RHD car. But it looks so goddamn amazing... Dag nab it.

The current model Smart ForTwo dissipates energy very well. The rear engine mounts can break from a head-on impact because of the energy is dissipated mostly into the subframe/axles and the body itself (mostly through the floor, which is why you see the rear of the car lurch upward). It's basically designed to…

It makes sense when you take into account the massive and stiff nature of larger, older automobiles, and that a large amount of crashes are either under 35mph or with stationary objects. Inertia causes more problems with heavier cars than any other factor. It takes much more energy to stop something that carries…

Why's it hav'ta be big? In a big car accident, you're fucked anyhow. But at least in a small car there's less inertia. A BMC/Leyland Mini, BMW 1600, Honda z360 or VW Beetle would've sufficed, and fit-in just fine, in this spot. All can be tinkered on easily as well as be low-cost to buy and take work to run well…

To be quite honest: I almost bought a Smart car back in 2008. I was on the waiting list and everything... I'm so so glad I didn't get it. I wanted it to be like the Smart ForFour that I drove in England a few years prior. Quirky, bubbly and stupidly fun. More so than any plastic paneled car should deserve to be.

TIL - I have been living a lie. Though, this all of a sudden seems more feasible, considering I once had earlier dreams of cramming a turbo'd red top SR20DET Nissan motor into my Mini.

I don't know who the owner is, or if it belongs to the shop owner, but the shop that built it is Tachyon Performance in Louisville.

Ever since a buddy of mine saw this... I will never stop hearing him trying to convince me to shove a turbo-charged Porsche V8 into my car. I'm jealous of the owner. And I want it so so bad. If only the shop wasn't all the way out in Kentucky.

I hate to poke the tiger with a stick, but I just have to say: I feel anyone who groups Lazenby with Dalton or Moore hasn't seen On Her Majesty's Secret Service. He may not be my favorite Bond, but, in my opinion, that is one of the best Bond movies, without a doubt. Good enough that the events that took place in…

No, there will be no dealing with it. It's just a fact. George Lazenby was an amazing Bond. The only reason he's not at the top is because he didn't get to stretch his legs as much as Sean Connery. And the damn ending of that film. Dear god, man.

All projections are onto a 2D surface, but you need separate images for each eye, to give the appearance of "3D". Which is why 3D glasses have polarisers or shutters for each eye and why retinal projectors have separate projected images for each eye.

I see how this could work, with head tracking and such, but the virtual cones... That... That doesn't seem probable. The amount of depth information you'd need for multiple objects placed on a plane coming at you, while trying to thread yourself through... I don't believe that could be implemented well without…

After years with comically small 13-inch wheels and massive tires, F1 will try out an 18-inch wheel/tire combo.

The Furnitech FT72CC is the very best for all uses.

Good to know green isn't up there. Possibly explains my lack of tickets, since I've only had green cars for a while now. I haven't exactly changed my driving habits, and I used to get a ton of tickets before-hand.

Haha. I feel like it's become a sad world we live in; of which, asking an legitimate question is deemed honorable. You're welcome?

Am I wrong that "inline" used to only be used for engines that were front to back, and that "transverse" was used for side to side? And "straight" engines were more for those that had cylinders in a straight configuration?

Something about this reminds me of the original Marcos Mantis.
