I’ve taught a LOT of people to drive stick, and I believe the best by far to be the Jeep Wrangler Tj. Plenty of torque, a long, forgiving clutch with good feedback, a low first gear, long, deliberate throws with a nice, re-affirming “click” into gear, they just make it very simple.

It’s an engineering case study like none other. When the previous methods have been wrung of all potential improvements, a new technology comes along that breaks down a barrier we didn’t even know was possible to pass.

there is no governor.  they set this up to do max time attack on goodwood and didnt change anything.  he says so in the video.  its geared to hit 150 and thats it.  thats part of why the acceleration times are so amazing. 

I feel like weird nerds deciding to grow up before they become radicalized fuckbags is good to encourage.

Well, I suppose they’d have to hold a special election.

Cashing in on it and hoping to die before there’s any consequences.  

That information is all publicly available, you could go look it up yourself. That’s the best part, he’s threatening a law suit for a guy who just took public info and made a bot to post it publicly.

Fucking learn to make something on your own.

My knee jerk reaction was F off. But less donkey-anuses in online gaming would be great. Imagine a game where you could see someone get banned in real time right after spouting hate, instead of waiting a day or more.

Dear Congress People,

Fuck all would be my guess.

I assume the answer is “waiting until January.”

A 1.4s 0-60 is absolutely bonkers.

Micro Machines Batmobile

It’s running 8 flat, but the last 3 seconds of that are at its governed top speed of 149 mph.  Yikes.  Agree, the Goodwood footage of this car look like a 1960's movie where they speed up the car chase, except it’s real.

I remember, years ago, when I saw my first electric RC standing backflip thinking “When we get batteries worked out, electric cars are going to change what speed means for cars forever.” In RC during the days of brushed motors and NiCad batteries, It was basically Nitro if you wanted speed. Then Brushless DC motors…

Fucking ew.

Fucking ew.
