You really need to see Monster Jam at a large outdoor venue. I don’t care how good they think the HVAC is, there’s no way you aren’t breathing some nasty stuff during these events. I went to see this at Nassau Colosseum years ago, and left with the worst headache.

Holy sh*tsticks, that person got ragdolled. Maybe they didn’t die, but they sure as sh*t got messed up. Ugh, what a mess.

Thanks for this. From that video, you can see that the bridge is supposed to have a central support. This has yet to be installed and I wonder if someone forgot to carry the 1 on the static load values and decided it would be ok to just place it on its abutments. Thats a looong span without the help of that support.…

Great pics Kurt, looks like they all chipped in and paid for the nice weather package as well, unlike the Spa event I saw on YouTube. I can’t imagine paying all that $$$ and then going to Spa Franchorchamps and having it rain, on my (insert favorite Ferrari you love), and risking putting it into the wall. At least…

As a watcher of many many animated things, I thought that was effing brilliant!

Its the intangibles about Senna that made him great, plus all the stories that came out about him after he passed. He was a extremely spiritual and caring person, a person who by many accounts would have done even greater things after his racing career was over, if not just with his charity work, but perhaps in the…

It would be great if these were on a numbered map, then I could connect the dots and try to ride my bike over as many as I could before I was inevitably killed/maimed by some hapless driver, who would not be cited for such an infraction, because, NYC.

WINNER WINNER! Turkey Dinner!

Oh YESSSSS!! Here in beautiful Suffolk County NY, they have recently passed a law that you now get charged a nickle for every bag you use at the store! Outrageous! Revenge will be mine once I master this technique ;)

“The poor are conditioned by corporations and society to poorly manage their money. I could site many examples, but I have to go count my sheckles.”

I take it by “family” you the corporate family?

While I feel for the other drivers who got screwed out of scheduling conflicts, the difference here is Alonso puts fans in the stands, whereas the others don’t. Although WEC races always look like a private test is going on at the track that day anyway, I’m sure every seat filled helps.

Why is it always the cars I would buy are on the other side of the country. Always wanted on of these, but didnt want to have to try and work on the V8 jammed in there, or worse, the V12. The six could be massaged a bit to breathe better and with the manual, its my ideal SL.

RATIONAL ME: “this makes perfect sense, since the races are short and the cars are AWD, and electrics accelerate like mad, should be good racing”

Great article. I use my wemo smart switch to turn off my cable box, PS4 and other stuff while I’m at work, so it saves me $$. I have avoided getting a smart TV for the intrusion, but I’m sure when its all up and running when I’m home, everything else sending loads of data about my habits. I considered setting up a…

I haven’t seen that episode yet, so I’ll assume Hammond binned it.

I still can barely get my head around how they can get something that pencil like going that fast to decelerate from beyond the speed of sound, on an angle and land strait up in that short a distance is simply mind boggling. And it only took them like 3 tries to get it right, and since then they have been nearly…

That was really impressive. I could not believe both of the boosters came down at the same time on the exact spots. Thats some crazy engineering right there.

If you are going to Montreal for the Formula One race and are staying in the old city, take the ferry from the old port over to the Isle St. Helene and its a short walk to the track. The subway goes there but its incredibly packed and getting out can take a loooong time.

I used to work in a diesel shop, and the owner had one of these. Gorgeous car. One day, it needed a battery(it had 2), plus a water cooled alternator. I told the foreman that he should send it to the dealership, because I’m sure there is a specific BMW way to change the battery. “Nah, I’ll just have one of the guys…
