I was always under the impression that was because the race organizers never relayed that info to the firefighters. Did Mercedes actively hide the info from people, or was it a case of race officials never bothering to know details of the cars entered because 1950's laissez faire auto racing?

Understand the ruling. Still sad since the CJ’s actual descendant is a bloated status symbol with shitty Chrysler build quality these days.

Some executive probably didn’t want to have an exhibit regarding that time a Mercedes Benz killed a bunch of people.

It’s a little late now, but the next time you fill an engine with water and allow it to freeze, there’s a reasonable way to thaw it: use a halogen workshop light. They are inexpensive and generate an impressive amount of heat. Position the light under the oil pan, switch it on, and leave it for a while.

Kinda disappointed Greedfall didn’t get any nominations, Spiders did a bangup job on that one.

I need this.

That’s where phase 2 of my scheme comes into play: offer electric kits for British cars with an optional add on that reproduces the classic British oil leak. I’ll even have an option for the classic “Lucas electrics” smoke emissions.

I’m not gonna lie, the thought of old cars getting new life by having an electric drivetrain swapped in interests me greatly. Especially luxury brands.

My favorite unnecessary car is the one I own (also the LC-500's older brother): my RC-F. V6 AWD version is the better car for daily commuting and living where it snows. Don’t care, Japanese V8 noises.

Credit where it’s due, Apex is pretty fun.

Ended up in that boat with my RC-F. Considering the cost of going to a new set of wheels+tires for winter, it kinda makes more sense to just buy a shitty old winter beater for 2k instead.

I’ve been trying for years to adapt that scene for software development, just so I could work it into a presentation sometime.

Someday I’ll live out my dream of restoring an old Bronco and I am 100% going to do plaid seat upholstery.

I thought I knew how big a carrier was. Then I got to visit the Nimitz.

As an RC-F owner: I don’t get the track edition. It’s not a track car, it’s a touring car. If you go into it expecting a touring car and not a sportscar, it has a lot of marks in it’s favor. That’s why I got one.

Conversely: buy winter tires if you’re in a snowy area and the drive system of your car becomes kinda moot.

The Ridgeline is exactly what 90% of truck buyers actually need, to be fair.

The Impreza looks pretty standard with some WRC homage graphics.

The failed hood slide by the fat cop at the beginning of Stylo always cracks me up.

So what you’re saying is: if you cover the bottom of the racecar with stickers, you’ll win every time?
