If Maynard’s lyrics are to be believed, he seems to be down for some wild shit. If they object at all, it will probably be a mild “yeah, don’t do that”.

I was disappointed when they announced Brass Against only for the European leg of the tour, would have been awesome to see them (already have tickets for the closest…

the other one is pretty much just a guarantee you’re in for a multi-hour lecture about Bitcoin and NFTs.

If you think that, you haven’t paid attention to the reviews and the tech in the new one. Especially with the negative torque vectoring that’s available on the front wheels, there seems to be more than one person whose response to a first drive in a new NSX is something along the lines of “What the hell just happened?…

Yeah, I feel like this problem would have been solved before.... I wonder how people do it with other cars that keep the same name between generations...
911, Corvette, Viper, M3, Camaro, Mustang... I wish there were some other way to tell them apart. Maybe somebody who’s into those cars could impart some wisdom.

/Sarcas…

Pretty sure the 370z had an OEM carbon composite driveshaft.  So no new weight savings.

Except the wind IS providing the thrust. Without the wind, the vehicle doesn’t move.
In car terms, the wind is the engine, the vehicle acts like a supercharger - the rear axle is the supercharger pulley, the prop blades are the supercharger’s compressor

The wind pushes the whole vehicle forward, the propeller acts like…

I have several. But the best.....

Alpha definitely took note:

^^ This is a really good point. Unless we start regulating battery chemistries (which could happen eventually), that would be one less barrier to entry for a worldwide homologated car. Crash stuff is still an issue, but I think with the powertrain out of the way, more companies might attempt the jump to other markets.…

Well, they kinda need it, but by design, they also already have it. For any kind of reasonable range, you need to haul around a big ass battery pack any way. So if you package everything correctly in terms of having reasonable power reserves, you’re probably already going to have the capability of having a heavy power…

It’s gonna get real weird when things go all Altered Carbon/ Transhumanist though.  

My worst almost collision with an unsecured load, I actually saw it coming. I saw a landscaping truck that was carrying a wheelbarrow in the bed, not strapped down, standing on its nose with the empty bucket open side facing forward.

they’re less “their” team than the regional sports franchise they root for that’s made up of players from all over the country and run as a vanity project by a billionaire who would move it across the country if it made him a little more money he doesn’t need.

The real question now, is if they do have an agency doing their web stuff, presumably monitoring where organic traffic is coming from, are they going to realize the bad publicity they are getting from these idiotic “policies” and change tack.... or continue being idiotic chudfuckers.

I’ll just leave this here:

Star for good history and use of the word “embiggen”

I want this on a t-shirt..... in Helvetica, obviously.

Lots of brands do this, though. Many of them have started to divorce the numbers from the displacement.
