Doubtful. Harness and CPU are almost always separate.

At an estimated program cost of $1.5 trillion, they could have employed 10,000 engineers making $1 million in salary for 150 years. That’s a lot of money for something that doesn’t seem to advance the science of military aircraft significantly.

No one cares... yet. All you need is someone with a name to come and play and people will take notice. Like Mark Webber or some other retired F1 driver.

While out wheeling my XJ, I heard a loud metallic pop. That’s when the spotter said, “You know you only have two lug nuts holding your wheel on?” Simple fix, right?

I think nearly all of these have some sort of limited slip differential in them now, but the wheel speed was so low they didn’t lock up. It’s why a few would slip for a bit, then finally lock up and go.

Needs more lift.

I used to have a long commute in the morning. I’d try to get them over quickly by speeding, so I was usually in the left lane. One morning, a pickup truck comes up from behind me and flashes his lights, and I get over. We’re in a hurry together. No big deal. He wants to go faster.

The cost of the hyperloop doesn’t include the cost to develop the technology needed to make it function. Like the pods. And the air lock system. And the expansion joints. But that doesn’t matter because... Elon.

He’s jumped from a plane without a parachute. I think landing a motorcycle on a barge ranks significantly below the insanity bar after that.

I bought a 1959 TR3A, in disassembled state.

It’s not for yanking forward. It’s for yanking backwards. Pulling a truck out of a poorly chosen river fording spot is it’s typical use.

And how would enforcement be conducted? You’d need a list of every gun owner, and some sort of mandatory testing to ensure compliance. I bet a lot of guns get marked as lost when that happens. “Fell out of the boat while duck hunting... Sorry ‘bout that.”

There’s a lot of technical drift going on, I suspect. The reason for maintaining a team like this is to gather data that helps you improve your existing or future products. But the cars have gotten a bit too wild for that. They’re pushing the limits of turbos and manifolds to get serious horsepower from very small…

$25 on craigslist will get you a really nice stroller.

Above 15000 feet, there isn’t enough air pressure to keep any sort of orientation. It just tumbles. Below 15000 feet, there isn’t enough time to establish an orientation before it impacts the ground. Most cars dropped from 14-15 thousand feet (the highest practical drop height) hit the ground within about 75-80…

If you’ve ever seen a car fall from an aircraft, you’d know that they tumble a lot. That’s because they aren’t tear-drop shaped. This means that they produce turbulence that keeps them from establishing a consistent orientation. The drag coefficient goes way up. In fact, it’s multiplied by surfaces unseen in a…

But that’s what you’re getting for your money... a Golf. Performance wise they aren’t far apart. Bigger injectors and the K04 are about it.

Wranglers. Fucking Wranglers...

I long for the return of the old sound of WRC cars, before anti-lag and the incessant pop-pop-pop to keep the turbos spooled up. That first Gymkhana video he did still has the best sound. It still gives me chills.

TR3 has hinge holes for a top mounted hinge. I don’t see any holes. Also, the TR3A has a raised area on the center of the hood, and the sides tapper to nearly vertical at the rear of the hood.
