I think that’s one order of magnitude? Most expensive WRX STi (S209) retailed for like $65k so one order of magnitude would bring us to the half-million range, no?

I was about to make a comment about the horrendous belay technique and came to the comments section to see if anyone else noticed. That’s a great way to drop your climber, hope he has a grigri lol

This sounds like an awful solution. Accidents often create sparks or other ignition sources and if the H2 gas were to be released *on purpose* it certainly would ignite in a spectacularly dangerous way. A properly reinforced H2 tank is absolutely necessary to prevent injury. Automotive H2 tanks are incredibly strong…

Spec.B has a 6MT but it is not as strong as the STi 6MT nor does it house a DCCD

Older Subarus are 5x100mm which is *almost* the same as what you’re looking for, maybe some old 15" Subaru steelies would work?

Seat rails and slider tracks tend to rust pretty quickly in northern states because of all the salt that gets tracked in...

I wasn’t making a comparison. This thing is unsafe in a collision, full stop.

Professional vehicle “modifier,” not automotive CAE/FEA engineer. This is a deathtrap lol.

Yeah, you know me.

Vehicles have been around long enough that the current “traditional” shape/package has been optimized for: driver’s visibility, aerodynamics, crash safety. Changing that means throwing away 100 years of engineering in this regard. Keeping the current shape/package allows for current optimized conditions with…

I moved to Michigan just over 2 years ago, and while I have gotten used to the Michigan left turn, I still think it’s the dumbest traffic device ever. 

Cars and coffee people minus the Hondas and Subarus that sit in the corner and rev. Everyone is so relaxed and out just to talk, walk around, and have a good time.

I hate when I’m driving along and the guy in front of me is making a slideshow.

I was driving along from my home in West Philadelphia, where I was born and raised. Spent most of my time on the playground. I’d chill out, max out, relax all cool. Even shoot some b-ball outside after school. A couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight,…

Deer, armadillos, potholes, and other typical road hazards are stationary and easier to avoid than a wheel with unpredictable trajectory. He did the best anyone could’ve done, he just got unlucky to choose the right side.

Put yourself in the same situation as this guy and you would’ve hit the wheel too. Not only is this obstacle completely unexpected, but there wasn’t even enough time to process it and make a decision on what inputs to give to the bike. The only real option was to hit it.

That’s a far cry from a Urus front end lol

Usually beef jerky and dried fruit are my favorites but they are very calorific and I’ve been dieting so I need to reconsider my options for my upcoming 6100 mile/4 week road trip... Carrots and bell peppers seem like good options

seems difficult to eat on the road

A mechanic screwed me by doing a hackjob on my car.
