Tons of head and port development. The pushrods are actually holding them back.

Great movie, great scene. He didn't admit to clickbait (I honestly don't blame him since "everyone else was doing it") but he did admit that he was wrong, so close enough?

The Mortal Kombat theme song was pretty awesome. It was a nice change from the typical shitty EDM that is the majority of the soundtracks for these videos.

I'm sure like all writers (especially one for a truck blog) would jump at any opportunity to flog a press vehicle. This one having a conspicuous knob labled "on road, off road" I think Andrew did a good job of satisfying the inevitable question of whether or not it can actually go off road. The answer is: yes*

The HANS is awesome, don't get me wrong. It's the politics at the FIA that are bullshit.

It doesn't look like anybody's mentioned it yet but how about the batshit crazy cars that they came up with when nitromethane was banned by the NHRA? http://blogs.hotrod.com/vintage-pic-of…

They require a head and neck restraint that meets the requirements of SFI 38.1. HANS meets that spec as well as a number of other head restraints. FIA 8859 is set up so that only the HANS Device meets the requirements. Some of the people (that I know) in the SFI foundation think this is bullshit.

As cool as GpB is (was), the arguably more pivotal rule change that would later drive the FIA to create GpB was in the late 70s when they started allowing 4 wheel drive in Group 4.

How about seat belts, helmets, and fire suits?

It wasn't a requirement in NASCAR until after Ernheart Sr died. There were several major changes to NASCAR safety after his crash, HANS being one of them. They also banned open face helmets and (I have been told) adjustable lap belts on the left side.

Or is it a Portal reference?

I have said "sure, why not?" to several people. What seems crazy to you and other people was probably one of my better life decisions.

It probably varies by municipality but most of the places I've lived in Michigan frown upon it. I haven't tried it in Illinois (where I live now) yet.

By tow bar I assume you mean something like this:

The counter point is not that I, one person, can maintain a car. The counter point is: even with no prior experience, people can learn to maintain their cars.

This is why flat towing is illegal. Maybe not in South Africa but here in the States, definitely illegal.

This is appropriate bro truck hate. Carry on.

It's an Iron Maiden homage. See my response to 945T.

Ha. Pretty much. I had a garage the first place I lived specifically because if the racecar. I wouldn't doubt if they have a "no racecars" policy now.

Yeah, people knock on FWD about not handling "properly" but people have been seriously surprised by my car. You pretty much have to keep your foot on the floor if you don't want to go ass over tea kettle.
