On the new models at least: Shake the remote. TADA! It centers the cursor.

You're spot on. That's the same 2.4L you're thinking of.

Fun fact: They produced the Mark VII with a BMW sourced diesel. I mean, they were terribly underpowered and they hardly made any of 'em, but they existed.

Nope, sorry for the confusion. I'm the one in the brown hoodie that went up and over it. I can supply you with this from the rider, though:

And to shed just a bit more light on that, this is from the guy inside:

Erryone's a'ight. The swelling in my hand has gone down and now it's just some lingering soreness. As far as the girls, last I heard they were doing alright as well.

All of the top teams used a design similar to the one you see there. From what I've been told, it's surprisingly controllable. The rider in the HPV here was just extremely gung-ho in his pedalling on this run.

No idea. By the time I had my bearings she was already up. I don't even remember seeing her on the ground. It wasn't until I saw the video that I realized to what extent she was wiped out.

The kid that rushes to the bike and gave it its final shove towards the finish line is my close friend. He didn't come over to check on me. No big deal.

He's also a horse. You can't expect someone capable of pedaling with enough force to move the earth to take it easy in an early heat.

I was too busy jumping like a ninja over the HPV of death.

He was so stoked on life upon winning that I don't think he could've been mad at anyone. Plus, it would be unwise for him to be upset at a ninja.

Just to clarify for you guys:

Nobody suffered anything too serious. I'm the one in the brown hoodie that jumps over it. There were no broken bones or anything like that. Everyone walked away with minor scuffs and bruises.

Once everyone got up and we did a successful limb check, I determined that it was one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed. I was laughing moments after it happened.

That's actually my friend's girlfriend that was also there to support the team. She's pretty awesome.

You're missing out on one of the greatest "OH NOS" I've ever heard.

YES! This is me!

If I could transplant some stars from other commenters to you, I'd gladly do so. Unfortunately (fortunately?) that won't be a problem once this site adopts the new Gawker commenting system. Best I can do is a heartclick.

I'm sure that if Toyota made refrigerators and washing machines that people would immediately buy them up on no basis other than perceived brand reliability. I understand that most people are looking for basic transportation and would never spend $xx,xxx for a performance variant of anything.
