The real crime?

Intercontinental. As in "traveling between continents."

For the pedantic, it's a self-propelled howitzer, not a proper tank...

SRT-4s were a lot more obtainable to those wonderful youths with bad decision making abilities.

I would think that the big monetary hangup wouldn't be building the car - it would be paying for tires...

I'm sorry you don't like what I'm saying, but dismissing me as a troll doesn't change anything.

To follow the analogy, this is more like putting that horse on a treadmill and using it to generate electricity to charge the car's battery.

And my point, once again, since reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your thing, is that if it can be burned in a modified commercial diesel genset, it can also be burned in a modified diesel automotive engine.

It's sort of the whole point. Why do they need a generator? Because the power distribution infrastructure can't support rapidly charging all those cars in the places where the want to race them.

Wow. So wrong. Where to start.

No, my attitude is that new, showcase technologies shouldn't be transparent shams that are massively inefficient behind the scenes.

Ugh. What a ridiculous charade this whole thing is. The best real-world efficiency you're going to get out of a diesel genset is something like 35%. Then you have the losses in the charging process, and losses again changing electric power to kinetic energy. It would be far more efficient to power the cars directly…

Irrespective of the car parked in the lane, the rider is routinely putting his head over the center line. That's living on borrowed time, because it shows he's willing to use up more than the available space. It will catch up with him eventually.

That makes perfect sense now! :-P

What the heck is a "reverse transit"? I wasn't aware that crossings had a 'forward' and 'reverse' direction... Wouldn't it just be a "transit," no matter what the origin and destination?

Non-sequitor: Is it weird that I immediately recognized KFI on the radio?

No, because then the parents would put the kids on the escalator going the wrong way because of how totally cute it would be.

Brave of you, throwing that stone from the porch of your no-proofreading, riddled-with-typos Jalopnik glass house.

It wasn't "unfortunate"

If your willing accomplice happens to get shot while you're robbing a bank with him, guess what... you're on the hook for murder. This is no different.
