BTW - Andrei Tupolev, fascinating guy.

Nothing fancy. 1967, fastback.

I don't even think I need to explain myself here.

All hail.

A Cobalt as a *sports car*? Please... You drive an econobox. Don't try to gussy it up as something it's clearly not.

It might be fun to drive, but it's not a sports car. It's a sports car like a Civic 4-door is a sports car.

jokes on me? jokes on you, you own a cobalt

Cant blame the guy at all. If I spent that kind of money on a Porsche, I would expect it to work flawlessly. It is a Porsche. Its not British.

I once purchased a car that revealed that it was going to require a repair in the first 24 hours. I returned it immediately and told the dealership they could take it back and kill the contract or replace it. They replaced it. I will under no circumstances take a new car that requires a single repair. It is new and…

Three words: Intermediate shaft failure.

This man is not Jerry Seinfeld or Jay Leno, so of course he's going to get the run-around. If it was Seinfeld or Leno, Porsche would have airlifted one straight from the factory along with a factory technician and the President of Porsche to personally deliver the replacement and apologize for a shoddy car.

Psst, Porsche. Psst. Just give the guy his full purchase price back, dismantle it for R&D, and move on. It will be a lot cheaper both in monetary and brand image costs.

Carriers are especially stiff on deck, because the flight deck is armored and has to be stiff enough to not crack all the concrete heat shielding off all the time, and because the flight deck and the hangar deck (which has to support all those planes' weight) form a pretty stiff girder up top. Navy ships in general…

Never 6. The closest I had was the 4 individual intakes of the Yamaha R6 motor we stuck in our FSAE car. I imagine it sounds as glorious as you are saying.

Having had a good romp in a Tesla and also as someone who loves the rumble of V8's, whine of superchargers and whistle of Turbos. Let me tell you about it.

I love this, but one question: does Steve boast the same level of tuning prowess on an EV platform as he does on those glorious Ford V8s? It seems to me like taking a famed high-speed railroad engineer to build an airplane.

All normal. On the middle on-deck segment I counted ten container stansions running forwards; 40 foot containers, usually 6-8 foot gap, that puts the camera about five hundred feet aft of the point the sight line runs out as the bow starts to curve in. A couple or three feet of flex in 500 feet isn't unusual. And…

Actually, I think the twin F50 reverse burnout may be the rarest burnout to have ever occured in history:

As a former police officer, I would also like to share something I was told not long after getting into a powerful police cruiser for the first time, that no emergency justifies having an accident to get there. If you are speeding, your stopping distance is greater, the distance you will travel before your reactions…

"...Power comes from a ‘HFC4DA1-2B1′ 2.8 liter four-cylinder diesel engine that poops out 108hp and 240nm."
