Not a Patrick fan here. But she's paid to race a car around a track. Sure, it's all left turns much of the time and yes it's a car that until late used carburetion. But it's a track and it's a car and she's paid to do it. She's a race car driver.

While the chassis didn't do anything to save Bugatti cash the engine certainly did. You can find Phaetons with W12 engines under the hood. Audi and Bentley used the exact same engine (although it's changed a little over time) and the Bugatti W16 was a direct descendant of the W12.

It depends on two factors. Size of the thruster and fuel flow (in this case Xenon). The faster the fuel flows the greater the torque but it's several factors less than chemical rockets. About 1000 to 10,000 times less I think.

Before anyone starts thinking that ion thrusters are going to replace chemical rockets, they aren't. To put it in automotive terms. Chemical rockets have more torque than ion thrusters allowing them to pull more easily away from the planet and reach their top speed quicker. Ion thrusters however have more…

No Spyker or Pagani?

Mind = Blown

I don't get it. If you're in a boat then you're clearly not in danger of the flood. Your house or car might be but not you. So why send out a rescue boat?

I thought Prometheus was the better story simply because it required multiple viewings and intelligence to understand what was happening. Not to say District 9 wasn't good. I'd put it on par with Bladerunner but the subtleties of Prometheus was astounding.

Hold your thumb and index finger at perpendicular direction. Apply to forehead and then read my previous post again. Keep fingers to forehead throughout reading.

Considering past in congruencies on your part I'd like evidence outside of wikipedia.

Holy cow! Aaron, you're not white? That is just amazing. I never noticed before. (No, really. I never noticed before.)

I was always under the impression that a twin turbo would allow for better low-end performance by separating exhaust pulses better and a single one like the F1 ones allowed for better torque at high speed by allowing better breathing and more pulses to counteract air resistance.

How so? A simple statement such as yours hardly explains how I'm wrong. Nor does it explain Genjii Capital noted on the cars or the Lotus emblem. The same one used by the engineering team and production car company.

I present a picture of the Toro Rosso team colors. (This is what I found when I google Toro Rosso.) Notably, Toro Rosso means Red Bull in English.

Pretty much. It's just become common knowledge in the past year or two though. They've been building chassis and body parts for Redbull's two teams for longer than that. Likely since Redbull first formed.

Theft! The answer is theft!

Group Lotus (the team that only had sponsorship) was renamed to Caterham after Caterham bought a major part of HRB Hicom. Lotus Renault got purchased in full by Lotus (the production car company) and Genjii Capital. They use Lotus named resources for everything but engine (which is Renault) development. It's likely…

I think he's an asshole either way. The racial comments of his just go to show how much of one he is, no matter his "race". He is a yuppie though as it means Young Up And Comer. It just hasn't been used since the '80's as a descriptor of anything.

I remember talking to some "gangbangers" who work in Detroit and their most moving comment about the city was all the influential gang members live in Southwestern Ontario and particularly London. Guess I can always find a bigger fish than Tonydetroit without fear of that AK.

Morlocks! It's all Morlocks down there!!!
