I guess time will tell. I’m not entirely sure that amplifying a crap sound will necessarily improve it. In other words, I’m concerned they’ll just sound like louder farts. The V8 and V10 scream will still be missing. I could be wrong. I hope I’m wrong.

Uber is an overvalued clusterfuck. At least Tesla and Netflix can achieve economies of scale with its factories. Both Netflix and Tesla still have its original leadership.

Right hand drive McLaren F1?

You want to talk about wasted cars? Remember the Sultan of Brunai (and his fam)? They, at one point, had ten F1s (among many hundreds of other cars) many of which were and are wasting away, almost all completely undriven.

One really simple example of the whole shear stabilizing panels concept are the chintzy looking cardboard.fiberboard panels they include in furniture kits (typically for covering the majority of the back panel on a dresser). Without this panel installed the entire structure is weak and unstable, with the panel…

Nope, I agree. It was just mostly more of the same mediocre later-years Top Gear. The only part I really enjoyed was the Namibia special. I think they should just scrap the test track and studio parts altogether and focus the show entirely on road trips. They definitely have the budget for it now, and that’s when they…

This is what the $6,800 worth of damage looked like:

Yeah same here. It was either leave the city and spend an hour or more each way commuting or buying my property in a HOA community in the city, and it takes me 20 minutes to get to work. I prefer the extra time at home in the evening or morning.

For me to avoid the HOA, I would have had to buy a house outside of the city, or live in the ghetto. Austin basically has no respectable place to live that doesn’t have an HOA, it’s a necessary evil to live in/near this city. I still make it work, I’ve got 3 project cars (2x E30's, 1x Subaru), and keep them within the…

Sometimes there isn’t much of a choice, though. They’re easy enough to avoid in more rural towns, but bigger urban areas with lots of sprawl? You’re gonna have a beast of a time finding the house you want that you can afford and otherwise plausibly live with outside of an HOA.

Meanwhile I’m testing homemade pulse jets in the back yard.......

I hear ya. The struggle is real.

Long John Silver’s has expressed interest in sponsoring the car since the driver has a lot in common with their customers.

The third pass was faster because the driver emptied his bowels while getting sideways at damn near 190 mph on the second pass. The reduced weight was to his advantage, obviously.

That HAS to be a fun show. Pirate metal! I mean...pirate metal! There is nothing about either of those things that isn’t fun.

Saw them this year in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands.

If it came in rose gold I know at least one of your staff that would buy it.
