Hey, don’t forget Koenigsegg. They add power and lightness with every generation, and have some of the most innovative Aero solutions in the business.

Their Tesla kits, on the other hand......

Koenigsegg hasn’t used a Ford block in nearly a decade. They’ve done all their own enginework since the CCX. The One:1 especially is a pioneer in all sorts of technology, including 3D-printing, advanced variable-geometry turbos, and next-Gen, super-lightweight active aerodynamics. It’s the definition of ‘pinnacle of…

That looks pretty neat, but better than a Catalina? Not a chance

Something tells me they’ll have to streamline this design a bit before the target 1%ers will consider buying it.

As far as single car accidents, Rowan Atkinson’s Mclaren F1:

That is a ball-peen hammer, not a sledge hammer. I know that English probably isn’t his first language, but it needed to be said.

We should try that. But not with an old Volvo; one of those would punch straight through the earth.

Really? My 2012 Macbook (Not retina) running Windows 7 via Bootcamp ran everything I threw at it without a problem. Did all of the early retinas have issues with overheating?

Koenigsegg hasn’t run the board since the CCX in 2006, wherein it set a record time that stood for nearly three years. The fact that it’s still in the top 12 after almost a decade is really saying something. Koenigsegg has set all kinds of records, from V-max with the CCR in 2005 (388 km/hr), several power to weight…

Yeah, it’s on 3rd street, right near the Reed Mkt. intersection, in the VW/Audi/BMW complex. It’s pretty obvious. They’ve got their own supercar club-type building, with some classic Ferraris, Mercedes, and a Carrera GT IIRC. Now, if there was a Porsche dealership in Prineville or LaPine, then I’d be surprised.

I saw it up at some big show up in Redmond; I forget the name. It was more classics-oriented, and I was pleasantly astonished to see a 918

There are a lot more V22 Ospreys than I imagined there were. Keep the graphics coming!

And I could be wrong. I was too in awe of the car to pay 100% attention

Porsche of Bend in Bend, OR. They had a customer 918 at a local car show

IIRC, they didn’t sell 918. That was the production cap if they got the orders, but they only got 500 or so orders before the sales cut-off date. Too many people wanted to wait to see it before they bought. That’s what my local dealer said, anyways.

The character should still be archaic and irreverent. If you change that, it’s not the Joker anymore. If he’s not in a hastily green-and-purple spray-painted deuce-and-a-half, he’d be a “borrowed” ARGUS Caprice with “Screw ARGUS” and “Amanda Waller sucks!” written down the side. This body-kitted monstrosity isn’t…

It’s not archaic enough for the Joker, though. In The Dark Knight, he drove a carnival 18-wheeler with subtle graffiti on it, or he rode around in corrupt cop cars. He doesn’t steal for greed, he does it for the challenge. He does it because he’s crazy. No self-respecting Joker would drive a flashy, body-kitted sports…

Also, don’t forget the massive PR disaster created when, during a photoshoot in June of 1966, one of the XB-70A’s escort planes was sucked into the vortex created by the wings, causing a massive mid-air collision, killing two pilots and seriously injuring a third.

I got an altogether different impression from the NOVA JSF documentary. If I remember correctly, the X-32 couldn’t perform at least two of the key requirements of the JSF program (Namely VTOL and supersonic flight) without considerable physical modifications. I know that’s not the only thing that gave me the…
