Haha yeah, I’ve got all of that stuff :P

X-Wing Alliance is where it’s AT!

I’ve done this MANY times as a bus operator. Trouble with driving a bus is you also block the ability for any other drivers in the adjacent lane to see why you’ve stopped. Granted, most people (such as myself) have enough common sense to realize that if a vehicle is randomly stopping in the middle of the road, there…

So does a coating of blood, lol.

I want to make a recommendation to anyone here. After buying these jacks, I have never felt safer climbing under my BRZ. They’re expensive, but they’re worth it not only for the stability, but for the big, round pads on top that don’t damage your pinch welds, or anything else, really.

I wonder what kind of weird sensation that gives if it still weighs as much as a real Rolls Royce. I’ve drifted 40-foot transit buses in the snow, and the “pendulum effect” feeling you get from that much mass swinging around behind you is very different front the feeling you get sliding a BRZ around.

This is why when I was choosing a dashcam, I installed a two-channel system. So that I could also see him being all impatient and shit behind me while I was letting that bus in, lol.

Yeah, I was on the train and turned the sound up and played it a few times, so basically everyone heard the word SCHEISSE being yelled out randomly a few times.

I don’t think he lifted. I think the rears just decided they didn’t want to deal with the water anymore, lol. I don’t really see any signs of him decelerating. Tach stays constant, engine noise stays pretty consistent. Then suddenly, OMG WALL!

30 seconds ago someone posted this photo in a local car group asking if it could be photoshopped black:

“Camera guy indicated an intention to hit him.”

Are you serious? At the 4 second mark, the i8 is still entirely in his lane. Bear in mind that you are watching this video with the benefit of knowing what will occur. Without using a turn signal, it isn’t until probably the 6 second mark, when the i8 crosses the lane…

There was, at best, a few INCHES of space between them. You don’t realize how much the wide-angle lenses of dashcams mess with your perception of space.

Not speeding up teaches them that they can do whatever they want and get away with it. None of us are recommending that the camera car should pit maneuver him, or race down the street at 100 MPH, but I see nothing wrong with simply saying, “Yeah, I’m here. So don’t be an ass.”

I’m glad our ancestors didn’t have your…

You’re right. We should just let people do whatever the fuck they want on the road. Honking and letting them know they’re wrong is absolutely not a justifiable reaction.

Just like how I’m sure you always let people cut in front of you in line at the supermarket without saying anything. Saying something would be so rude!

Yeah, I have a Thinkware dashcam, and I agree. It makes all objects appear to have more space around them.

Normally I agree that both people share some fault, and yes the situation could have been “avoided” if the camera car simply let him in... so I guess I do agree, but considering how many things the i8 driver was doing wrong, I’d have been tempted to do the same thing (except actually let him hit me.) The i8 driver did…

True. There was a racing version in the roped-off area :)

I was at this event, and I want to point out that this was a Supercar show, featuring, among other vehicles:

- A Koenigsegg One:1
- A Pagani Huayra
- Two LaFerraris
- Two Porsche 918s
- A McLaren P1
- A Ferrari Enzo
- A Ferrari F50
- Two Porsche 911Rs
- A Ferrari Sergio
- A Maserati MC-12
- A Ferrari 599XX
- Aston Martin DB11

Someone should hire a firm to study Munroe’s operating costs and efficiencies. You know. How they work and all that.

The goal here is efficiency. They aren’t necessarily trying to get MORE power. They are trying to get the same amount of power out of less explodey stuffs.
