i disagree on all fronts.

The wheelbase issue is somewhat valid. A shortened wheelbase would benefit the car on the switchbacks of PPIHC but is a complete impossibility. Because of the driver position in an F1 monocoque the suspension dampers must sit either infront of or below the drivers feet, and i believe they…

i bet it would be a pretty close match between Loeb's Peugeot and any of the current gen F1 cars. I think it is apples to apples on acceleration, but i still have to give the edge to the F1's on braking.
You should keep in mind though, there are zero restrictions (other than an FIA approved roll cage) to race…

a HANS/Simpson Hybrid neck restraint only protects the driver from impacts assuming the roll cage stops the intrusion of all foreign objects into the drivers vicinity. If Leffler impacted the wall like i think he may have, his head/neck hit the barrier. This could be classified as a scenario where the roll-cage of the…

i like your judgement call on this one guys.

without seeing the circumstance of the events it is difficult to determine what the cause of the accident may have been and how it could be avoided in the future. In this case, it seems foolish to have people in front of the fork truck at all (hindsight is 20/20, i know,…

i am going to speculate wildly here...

when designing a car for impact, it would make a lot of sense to have the leading edge of the hood set back from the front bumper of the car. When the Audi has a frontal impact the hood must crumple quite easily as it will be one of the first parts of the car to make contact. As a…

dear jezebel,
please review a dictionary, "resigned" and "re-signed" have quite contrary meanings in this scenario. I believe you were looking for the latter.

have you heard of NFC/RFID?

I think i have found the best wallet-that-is-actually-still-a-wallet in existence. It is the following one from dockers. Fully loaded with 8 credit/insurance cards, 5 business cards, I.D. and 8 pieces of paper money it is .5" taller than a credit card, .5" wider than a credit card and 5/8" thick.…

I am ignoring it's existence until we see a hatch/wagon version...

and there we have it... the Jezebel comments descend into the same terrible place they take personal offence at when seen on female celebrities photos. odd.

Why is it that i have had Charter as an isp for my entire life and i feel there service is sorta mediocre. are my expectations for internet service 10 years ahead of reality?

the problems you posed all have solutions already, improving battery/quick charge technology requires new inventions/discoveries.

personally, i completely agree with you. recharge time makes a road trip in an electric car impossible. it is an issue that researchers have been improving for years but the times are still way to long. Hot-swap is the future of mass-market electric vehicles. Imagine, you drive into what looks like an automatic car…

i like to think sandy merely encouraged the vanquish to be transformed into a stripped out race car, and jabbed a wooden stake through the heart of that land yacht.

i agree that the distortion caused by youtube's image stabilization is pretty bad, but for me it is easily preferable to shaky-cam footage.

someone please what is going on with the brake rotors. They look comically large.

the problem is not the existence of texting, it is your friends lack of foresight and and consideration for other human beings. When i send a video/hyperlink/file of any sort it is via email, or facebook because i know that i would like the receiving party to have an option of how to view the content. sometimes humans…

it is ridiculous to ask this question and expect a good/useful answer.

what i would immediately guess is that the back is composed of a glass or silica based fragments embedded in plastic or resin. it would be tough, however not scratch resistant but it would make scratches hard to see.

hey y'all, go talk to Caswell, he seems to have heard more than you guys.(from Caswell)
