Oh that’s an easy answer. Less unsprung weight. There have been talks of them going to 17" or 18" rims but that would put more unsprung weight on the suspension. This way they can keep the massive contact area for grip but not deal with weight. 

You are right they would never keep a French team manager, English CTO, or a German driver after winning a world championship because they are not Italian.

To limit as much avenues of an objects ingress towards a driver and his head. It won’t stop a Wilson or Massa scenario and sadly 90% of the risk comes from the front of the driver and not the sides. But in an accident, parts and carbon shards are flying all over the place and crazy directions. Anything to minimize…

No and what I think people miss is the Sequata entered the lane partially while there was no room to merge. That bothered the cop and the jerkyness was an attempt to move forward to prevent the Yota from getting an angle at moving forward. I have seen or taken part in this dance at least a dozen times. The big issue…

You said NCAA and not NAACP. That was the joke that they guys would never stand their ground or go after Football or March Madness. 

You forgot the P. I don’t think anyone has an issue with College football or March Madness.

Well that’s when you really start running into the tricky end of things. If someone takes over a team, keeps the current crew (while cycling them out in the future) and keeps the name isn’t it really the same team. If not then Ferrari, Maclaren, and everyone else not Williams isn’t original. I can see where STR isn’t…

Williams-BMW was a branding and not any kind of change of hands. That is why they bought Suaber. They wanted more input into chasis design and really wanted be “BMW” and not Williams BMW. They bought Sauber late so they didn’t want to be blamed directly for any performance issues which is why the first year they kept…

The trick isn’t to get the manufacturers to produce cars no one wants, that don’t sell and cause people to clutch their current cars for even longer. The trick is to get people to want those cars. More gas tax increases states money intake and drives people to want cars that are more economical. The CAFE regs hit us…

Well 1-2 bpm is along the line of normal variance. So more importantly his heart rate did not fluctuate during the incident. Which honestly seems more amazing, you would think that whether it was holding in breathe or adrenaline, or something, there would be some kind of movement. But no, not really.

Yeah they use stunt frames and build a car around it. If the car is going to be uninjured its usually a fiberglass shell. If it’s going to be injured they will special order steal and alminum panels to recreate the car. But its an un-vinned replica and not an original. There are probably only a dozen occasions where…

Don’t worry. While the Charger in the other one was real that they blew up. Most of these movies and Wick included spend hundreds of thousands on fiberglass shells and kit cars. No actual Mustang of that vintage was harmed.

I have nothing to say other than its hilarious seeing Meadow Soprano in this scene.

Not a Slipnot fan but I saw them at the Pledge of Alleigence tour in 01 or 02. Anyways have to agree. Probably one of the best shows I have seen even if I wasn’t that high on their music.

I think that’s the key that makes this the issue in the first place. The mind can and probably is Asian. But the robot body has been up for debate since the at least the Anime. By most standards ScarJo being the robot body is probably pretty accurate.

2.5 years with a Fusion 2013 TI 2.0 EB and never having driven a Taurus. I can probably agree with you. Mind you I really liked the Fusion, but honestly Everything about it seemed thin. It got a good sized ding just from a soft plastic frisbe, it felt light on the rears when doing a medium to a high speed turn and…

Yeah I am guessing in traffic its not worth the trouble because the guys in the left lane can’t really get over. On a two lane highway it means both lanes are doing 70 (or whatever your speed limit is). On three lane highways or more it means 2 lanes doing 70 and one doing 65. One a non rush hour drive it would be a…

That’s my biggest issue with this. Sure maybe on some level these people are still “Trump people”. But the last thing we want is Trump to only be able to fill his different cabinet and council roles with people that don’t care if they are considered “Trump people”.

I had that the other night. Got into a lane on the left for a split in the highway. Safely pulled in front of this other truck. Nothing for about 10-15 seconds. Then the car in front of me slows down because the car in front of him is breaking looking for a spot on the right for the same split. I only have to tap on…

The idea was that DI was one of the best technologies in boosting economy without affecting performance in a while. I don’t have Fords exact info and this isn’t the only place I have read that but here from this site from and insider.
