I'd lap the Nordschleife with a Caterpillar 797.

Me too, except in my mind I see the GT-R's front half spliced with the California in the rear half and green scribbles, instead of black.

From the side and front three-quarter views, it looks as though the front half has been GT-R-ified. From the rear three-quarter view, it looks like the rear half has been Ferrari-California-fied, with the Camaro's bland tail-lights slapped on for good measure. Neither of these are good things in my lowly opinion. The…

I don't want to dissuade you from being skeptical or from questioning the politicians and MoveOn's motives. I do, however, want to correct you on the origin of this bill. HR 3035 was introduced by a Republican (Rep. Lee Terry) and cosponsored by eight Republicans and one Democrat.

Kyle Lamar Myers doesn't sound much like a Russian name. Moreover, being born in Georgia (the state!) also belies one's Russian-ness.

"Me Neanderthal. Me like looking up rabbit's butt. Me very lonely Neanderthal."

Methpipe.

Gawker Media sites do not play well with GIF's inter-frame compression.

Of course, those had to be Jersey plates.

And, she's a plump girl, but you rationalize your attraction to her by telling yourself that's not excess curb weight, it's just more cushion for the pushin'.

If Kanye West ever bought it, he'd relabel it a Yeezerrini. If Charlie Sheen was ever seen driving down Rodeo in a 5300 GT, the valets would all call it the Sleezerrini. Gary Busey's would rightly be renamed the Crazirrini. Finally, if Paris Hilton ever made such a purchase, it would collect dust and rust in her…

Thanks for the follow up. I'm assuming this is off your team's Formula SAE car. After glancing through your team's work for the 2009-2010 car, I'm totally impressed. The collegiate SAE program looks like so much fun.

Agree with everything you said (and envy your job!). Wouldn't using a differential have required the builder to abandon the chain-driven setup he's using now?

Yeah. When the clip starts he says he's just rolling.

You're right. I said there would be a tendency for this. Whether that rotation actually occurs depends on the weight about the wheel (imagine a vertical axis of rotation through the wheel around which the car yaws; the weight about this axis specifically) and the smoothness of the surface, like you said, as well as…

It looks like the chain drives an axle that the two wheels are attached to.

In case anyone wants to see the thing run. There's something about little, gossamer cars with high-revving motorcycle engines in them that makes me happy.
