Ooh, dangerous! But you could come home and announce proudly that you had been screwing on ice all day...

The sock hop music playing in the background of that video is an annoying anachronism. If they’re going to be playing old timey music, why not play music from the era these cars were built in, not music that’s 2-3 decades removed.

The problem with both the Chevy rear suspension and the Ford I beam suspension was that it weighed about 9 billion pounds, most of it “unsprung weight”. Unsprung weight kills the ride quality. Heavy bits that follow the road imperfections bounce around the rest of the car a lot worse than light bits. I’ve ridden in

... and with only trivial brain damblage.

A solid minute and half of squealing tires and roaring motor.

It is like taking on a ski slope in a shopping cart. Will it work? No. Will you remember it for years?

That’s one of the major drawbacks of the I-Beam suspension-massive camber changes as the wheels cycle through the range of travel (they travel in an arc). They’re essentially swing axles that are pivoting on the far side of the center of the vehicle.

Holy negative camber Batman

Still lustworthy because even bad decisions need love

That's still an awfully large brush to be painting with. Sounds like you've had a hard day. Pull up the stream and revel in big truck like things turning dinosaurs into lots of noise. It's good for the soul. 

Well considering they're by and large, professional race teams, I'm gonna say probably not. But way to sound like an ignorant asshole. 

If you skipped over Aston in the nineties, you missed this:

Hmm, I’m thinking someone at VAG slapped a 911 nose on this and used it as the first-gen Panamera. 

Looks like the Bugatti EB112 concept, which tried and failed to impress the world with the “Art Deco Slug” aesthetic (also in ‘93):

They also once build a Mustang.

I didn't even know these chic booties existed until right this second, and now I'm just sitting here thinking of all the races where I really coulda used these bad boys

I went to LeMans 2018 as my first endurance race (go big or go home, I say), and while you covered most of the necessary items, I would recommend a pair of waterproof shoe covers.
