Rotella?

All the stars for you. The hundreds of times I have heard it dismissed and a “Honda trying to be a Ferrari.” I couldn’t believe when they attained their current reputation.

An E30 M3 cost $70,000 CAD when new. In 1989. For a 4 cylinder. I’m sure it was a bit of a tough sell.

No flex........ Zone.

Look up hot air intake. If you route it from your exhaust manifold you’ll get even better milage!

I have fired both, although I think the glock was a 17 and not a 19 (I’m Canadian, its not really important to me). I have also fired a colt .45 from the 50’s, a 5 round .38 snubnose, and a luger from WWII. I would take anything over the glock. Awkward in the hands, kicks like a mule, which is saying something…

The gt40 was designed in England yes, but it was after it went back to America and Shelby worked it over that it actually became competitive, hence the mkIV.

I’m just a keen observer of emerging technologies, more importantly the limits of that technology. But if you are who you say you are tell me this: what at current is the bare minimum amount of hardware you would have to use for a 99.99% accurate, modeled picture of the surroundings of a car? The way I see it, the…

Volkswagen: if we weren’t criminals then, we are now.

Volkswagen: We brought shame to our heritage. Which is saying something.

The point is this is pound for pound the same pitch the next great backyard supercar has. The computer Google used with its crossover with the oculous rift had to be hauled around with a SUV. The broader picture never has yielded results. Look at successful supercar startups, Koenigsegg used Ford Mod V8’s, Tesla used…

If you read the article where the car gets confused by a cyclists, it most definitely seems that they are sticking with “if, and, or” rules. But who knows really?

I guess I will say it like this: I am fairly familiar with the technology and there’s no way cameras and the interpretation of that data is fast enough at the moment to be able to pilot a car in the real world at speed. Google needed 10 cameras and 10 Intel i5’s just to map a 3d environment at walking speed, and even…

I’m pretty sure most have 2 directional microphones, a gyroscope, a g meter, a logic processor, and most importantly, a bit of intuition.

Self learning programs on computers are known to work most of the time, until a crossroads of various pre-made decisions with variable outcomes comes along. Then the computer freaks out and can act in all types of unpredictable manners. Partially the reason sandbox games seem to have alot of bugs, computer logic and…

This sounds like every person who has tried to build a marketable car in their garage, looks good, works good, sounds good, dies when the 10,000 other things not related to the actual workings of the thing sink the project with cost and regulation and lack of design around those things.

Although I hear people say this alot, I have not seen alot of evidence to prove it. Most of the Chevy trucks I have seen with over 250,000(km) are pretty hurtbag. They exist, but its not a comfortable existance. I also have a saying that goes along side it, “I have never seen a 350 without a blown head gasket”,…

Not me man. I’ll be dreaming of a place where I can drive a tracked vehicle down a paved street that has a 24l engine pouring black smoke out the tailpipe with no lisence plate or regard for human life just so I can show off how insecure I am to people I don’t know or care about.

That’s right. You know you fucked up when Ford takes you to court for producing something unreliable.

And you go back to abusing the freedoms of a place not on your passport that you moved to after failing to pull a life together where your from. I haven’t made less than 50k since I was 17 BTW, a combination of hard work and intelligence would never let me slip below that.
