Ok, that’s pretty good.

The Battle Axe of Blackpool? Unsafe!?

Filmed this on Halloween and made no reference to ghost riding his whip, truly a missed opportunity.

Hell yeah! The one year I finished my last final at 3pm and went straight to the shop to finish prepping the car and pack to leave. We closed the gate on the truck at 6am. I went home packed a bag, grabbed a shower and went back. We left at 9am and drove the 3.5 hours to Ocala, FL then had to tech the car. I finally…

This is true. I was lucky my HS was very old (my Grandmother went there) and had all the legacy shops from years ago. Hell, there was even a track you could get in that actually built a house with students every year then they sold it and used the money for the next years house.

Well good luck to you. As someone who professionally works on part of an autonomous system I think they are bullshit but it very well could get you a job.  

My friends at GM tell me it will be the new Blazer with an emphasis on connectivity. Not sure if that means some level of autonomy or what.

It is great experience. But I did grow to hate that car in a way. My school got the Camaro platform after I left. Way more interesting car.

Most engineering schools have either SAE Baja or SAE Formula programs. I got to do both as well as the GM Ecocar competition (we built a diesel electric hybrid Saturn Vue)

Every car is a flying car with a big enough ramp and some bravery.

Actually I think this is a terrifying rocket failure that went right. The crew escaped unharmed, the safety systems worked.

There is a mentality here among a lot of people that they don’t want to be forced pay into any program that might benefit someone who is undeserving even if it harms you. I don’t get it but you see it time and time again. 

A couple years ago I attended a lecture from a professor doing crash research specifically on better simulations of small children. As you mentioned you can’t cadaver test with kids so they were using young kangaroos. Turns out their rib and spine structure was a good stand in for a child. The professor had to become…

That’s gonna cause some clenching.

So not exactly this then?

For some reason when I look at this the Jaws music pops into my head

If you currently own a white van there is only one option:

Didn’t know that. Neat!

Snapped this on one of my trips. No idea what he was hauling but it was comically tall.

You’ed be surprised what you can legally sell if it’s sold “AS IS” and a lot of this country still doesn’t have emissions checks. You think David Tracy’s cars are passing smog?
