That’s kind of what I was thinking. I mean “the heat of 20000 Sols as felt from the surface of Earth” is a little different from “the heat of 20000 suns.”

I love that the article immediately followng this one is,

IIRC there was a Chevy HHR prepped for Bonneville that made 925hp out of the turbo 2 liter “Ecotec” motor.

Bask in the king of them all.

Yawn. I’m so over LS swaps. It would have been way more interesting if they would have used something like a Russian air cooled diesel V4 outboard or a sack of weasels.

Um, maybe she was distracted because she lost her father on Friday?

I’m 40 and I remember as a kid people still talking about this. Think about that. This was pre-internet, obviously, but for someone to do ridiculously stupid shit back then they had to be committed to it because they were into it. Now, kids will record themselves doing stupid shit once to get instant gratification…

It’s really funny to read all the jaded comments you young ‘uns are posting about this. When Knievel tried this originally, it was a major event. The old huckster (cause that’s really what he was) made a fortune from it and there were mobs on both sides of the canyon camped out for days to watch. You didn’t need to be…

Agreed 100%.

I am glad they do it this way. Keeps me from watching the whole show instantly and then having nothing to look forward to for another 364 days.

I know my old Outback (apart from the head gasket issue, which I know can’t be discounted) was basically a tank in terms of reliability. All the money I saved from all the other parts that never broke probably made up for the cost of head gasket replacement, lol.

Well then it definitely won’t be a competitor. This thing sits at the same price as the base outback, but the outback is a much larger car.

NASCAR does suck. It does not advance the world of Motorsports in technology or excitement.

Brutal. And yet not uncalled for. Coward might be too generous. Let’s go with the underused pusillanimous. (Yes, it’s a real word)

But...it is nothing. She’s made a mountain out of a molehill. Hell, I’ve had worse banter than this with the females in my office, and THEY started it. No, this is someone being super touchy and looking for an excuse. The guy apologized, and she still went off on a tirade. I’m not defending apple, or their employees,…

If there had been bureaucratic nonsense like this in the 60s we never would have even had the original GT40 story:

Too good!

Problem Sovled

A Wrangler is a purpose built vehicle—hardly the Huffy of off road SUVs. That’s a terrible analogy.
