Eh, astrophotography doesn’t have to be that expensive. You can go a long way with it for like two or three grand. But they won’t have TIME for drugs & booze.

I have grown to hate the 0-60 metric as well. They game it so hard with launch control, which you rarely have any real opportunity to use in a way that matters. 5-60 is better in that it forbids launch control games and makes you deal with turbo lag (if applicable). 30-70 will tell you how well it does merging and…

Well typically Koreans have fought this kind of thing by having their own manufacturers make a car with all of the features as standard, for $20k less. Not sure laws will be needed.

(I don’t shop at Wal-Mart, just making commentary)

In that case I’m going to start billing Wal-Mart for the transport costs for me to get to their stores and back to buy their goods, since that’s their standardized way of doing business now apparently.

The Isle of Man TT is extremely worth going to. At the end of race week was the most amazing feeling of pure euphoria I’ve ever had.

The ‘07 DBS definitely should be either right ahead or right behind the DB9, depending on how you feel about hood vents. And the pair of those should probably definitely be ahead of the modern DBS. There is no justification (given or imaginable) for having it ranked last out of 15, apart from generating angry comment…

Isn’t Polestar a sub-division of Volvo? They have lots of capital to throw at things, and experience to know how. 

I hated the new grille as much as anyone, but man I think it *really* works on the race version with the right livery

Alright let’s say you just want to have an RTG to recharge your car overnight. Tesla’s home charging system delivers about 11 kW for this purpose. The most common RTG type is Plutonium, which produces 0.54 W/g. So you will need a 44 lb block of Plutonium somewhere in your vehicle. Does that sound appealing? By the way…

If it had a 2ZZ or K20 swap, it would be hilarious to go rallycrossing with. As-is though, I’d pay at most 2 grand for the joke.

I thought I’d heard it was an aero advantage actually

There’s a relatively new Cruis’n’ arcade cabinet at my local kart place, though personally I was never much a fan of the game. SF Rush though...

I dumped so many quarters into those arcade cabinets.

Nobody brought up Sidecar racing, huh? Gotta be the most bananas-crazy motorsport out there.

I’ve been fantasizing about a new Jet Moto since MotorStorm came out. Imagine it with modern water simulation and raytracing.

I think it’s left out because it last graced this planet in the year of our lord 1999. Barely anyone under the age of 30 has any awareness that it ever existed.

You forgot Jet Moto! And Road Rash! And Rollcage! And Destruction Derby! And Hydro Thunder! But most especially Jet Moto.

I’m partly convinced inflation is conspiratorial. Not in a “crazy conspiracy theory” way, just in a market collusion way. Price of milk and gas goes up, economists are like “oh no milk and gas went up 8%!” and everyone else is just like, “well I guess that’s inflation innit, better raise our prices I guess,” and…

Driving my Elise out in the country, following an F-150. As it goes into the right turn lane at a T-junction, I continue on in the main lane as it slows down. Now because I’m in an Elise behind an F-150, the guy turning left from the connecting road at the junction doesn’t see me, though I had seen him on approach…
