A Cadillac Escalade pickup. You’ll never use it to haul things because the pearl white paint might get smudged, and the bed’s too tiny to carry anything good anyway.

holy shit, something not shared from Foxtrot Alpha.

You have to rock it back and forth. Bring your friends’ Mustangs!

Didn’t jalopnik cover this year’s ago?

This is a vast improvement over the ill-conceived “claw crane” version.

So if your car gets stuck on the way down, do you get to shake the building?

Is it really safe to store Mustangs up so high?

This reminds me of my Gameboy Camera and Printer. Those were the days.

I love the look on his face in the first panel.

This. There’s another problem with this model that is ignored: staggered tire sizes. The 60-0 is a good approach but you would need the decel value of the car if it were to use its rear tires in the front. If braking the braking force was 50/50 between the front and rear tires this wouldn’t be as much of a factor.

Weight drops out of the calculations. A lighter car needs less braking force, but has less braking force in equal proportions. The braking force limit is the normal force multiplied by the coefficient of friction, and the normal force is less on a lighter vehicle.

I like his method of working backward to the answer. He makes two mistakes:

Veyron Super Sport and Porsche 918 are currently the quickest production cars in the world and both hit 60mph in 2.5 seconds for comparison. source

I’m totally unqualified, but my guess would be the 5th amendment applies to your personal statements, not to physical evidence

Between the gradient dots on the frit and the dots on the sidewalk, they may have exhausted the supply of dot-centric transportation topics on which to post.

Totally agree. In racing terms these are the both the same, and it’s called being slow.

I’ve met more dishonest police than engineers in my life.
