so if I'm understanding this correctly they aren't exactly "printing cars". They're printing a plastic body for a car and the car in question can't be driven on the freeway. Lastly, if the image above is of the finished product then it looks like crap. Like someone made a car out of bondo.

driving >20mph steel track vehicles on pavement is terrifying. They have basically no lateral stability and will shoot sideways at no notice. On sand/dirt/snow, they rule so much. One year at Maker Faire, we had sand on top of steel road plates as our Arena. the 'bots were ice skating.

Actually an electric motor has a very strange torque curve — theoretically infinite torque at 0 RPM, and theoretically 0 torque at maximum RPMs. It's a downward slope, with a huge amount of torque down low and very little up top.

I'm sorry but this is kind of ridiculous. This looks like an extremely short race on a very poor surface. The i8 is a punch-it-and-go car. AWD, Electric motors, torque-converter auto, looks like he left all nannies on, just floored it and went. M4 was a manual car, which of course slows it down a bit. But, he…

I am very surprised you all haven't covered the Bugatti 12.4 Atlantique concept yet.

Russian dashcam footage is best dashcam footage. This video is just another in a long line of proofs for this assertion.

I think it has to be a Nissan GTR. Reason being that almost every other large "sports car" is not a sports car but rather a muscle car or a GT cruiser. The GTR is huge and handles like it is tiny and corners like it is mocking physics. All other large cars just feel large and dont handle like sports cars (OK the new…

Oh Nissan GT-R.

If you wanted to accomplish something, you shouldn't have placed your hopes on a We The People petition.

over hyped. Cars are a completely different animal, and don't hold nearly the financial data

The consequences of the housing crisis and credit crisis I think are very different issues than what is at stake here. I get the sense that these cases have more to do with consumer protecting than anything else (though they're protecting the consumers as much from themselves as from predatory lenders). Another big…

The problem isn't subprime loans, as those are made financially viable by their interest rates. It's two things about how banks treat subprime loans:

I know they meant something different but this would have been a more subtle way to get the same message across.

I DD a 2011 TL. My car has a computer that uses GPS to compensate the bias of the A/C system to provide cooler air to the most Southern exposed passenger.

If you own an E6X BMW 7 Series, then yes. This car came out recently after BMW started to computerize all its models. It was a nightmare. The car has over 40 computers on it, all controlling something stupid, and it is unbearable to work on. My dad had one, and hated every minute with it. Because every time he got in…

I'm quite sure that when BMW engineering teams creates a new system or component, the team who's solution has the most parts wins.

"He also said in the statement that the break-in caused "significant damage" and was particularly upsetting to their security team"

Mercedes on foreign plates, you say?

If you want to have a chat with your friends in the bed, you'd go for the Multicar M21 'Dieselameise' ( 'diesel ant')
