To be honest, unless you're under 5'7" you probably won't fit in side of a Cappuccino, especially with a helmet on.

The funny thing is it would actually be cheaper to build your own F1 than buy one now... which is not true about almost any car.

I think the primary problem is that one full bomb load would cost more than an F-15E Strike Eagle. The AC130's ordinance is practically free by comparison.

Overweight, overpowered, and not enough grip or downforce means they're spectacularly boring on a road course.

What I mean is if you took the mass-energy calculated as being needed for a warp drive (Alcubierre drive) to work, which is something like 700 kg (at best) of antimatter (which with modern technology is an absurd amount), how many Saturn V rockets would that be equivalent to in terms of energy.

The horsepower of any car, no matter how fast, is always going to be a very down to earth number.

It's the principle of the matter. The fact that it is done over twitter is what annoys me, besides the fact that I am a racing purist and it's ridiculous and biased. Racing should NOT be a popularity contest. I would rather have them go as fast as their batteries will let them.

If you think that's price gouging, you should see what people charge things imported from the US into Japan. I once paid $20 for a $5 bottle of angostura bitters...

I find it funny that one of his sponsors is an e-cigarette maker/seller... Seeing as how tobacco companies have effectively been banned from racing. Personally I think we should bring them back, at least in second-tier pro and top-tier amateur racing, to pump money into something besides the very top tiers of…

Compared to the best two James Bonds movie (take a guess; they both have the word "Gold" in them) and to the worst James Bond movie (Eightvagina), it's closer to the side of better than to the side of bad.

Playing on a pad for more than an hour or so will pretty much make your fingers bleed.

Sorry, but from an absolute performance standpoint switching cars makes much more sense. It would be completely impractical to swap a battery big enough to provide the requisite level of performance yet fits within the confines of a Formula car in a performance-optimized (packing/aero/CoG) manner.

I wouldn't call them platform mates so much as identical twins with birth marks... The Vellfire and Alphard are the biggest offenders. And a significant number of the exclusives are still just refaced/rebadged cars.

I also forgot to mention that about half of the cars exclusive to a given dealer are actually just the same damn car with different headlights.

There is significant overlap, though. And you can get parts and service for basically every Toyota at all of them.

They're technically all separate companies, but Daihatsu is still a Toyota subsidiary, IIRC.

Toyopet is still around, as one of the domestic Toyota dealer chains. There are about five or six of them and they all sell different cars. It makes zero sense whatsoever. There's Toyota, Toyota Corolla, Netz Toyota, Toyopet, and maybe one more I can't remember...besides Daihatsu, which is Toyota's Kei car brand. You…

And yes, being overweight, underweight, too tall, or too short are all disqualifying, but depending on recruiting needs you can get waivers for a lot of things.

IIRC, when you add up all the things that can or do disqualify you from service it covers a significant percentage (if not a majority) of the population. Medical conditions, motion sickness, colorblindness, ADHD, being openly gay before a few years ago, general stupidity (although you'd have to be really dumb not to…

Overall, military spending is out of control. And I LOVE the things that military spending buys. We need to spend more on education and space exploration. We could fund a trip to Mars several times or college education for everyone with reasonable grades for just a few percentage cut from the military budget.
