You mean like SCCA B-spec? Unfortunately it’s not very popular.

I work at a multi-billion dollar company and use an interface at work that was initially released in 1995 and is coded in Cobol. I’d love an early 2000s Geocities interface some days.

If you move to the Northwest be prepared to see people turning left on red from a two-way street onto a one-way street.

That’s nothing, here in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, you can turn left on red from a two-way street to a one-way street. There’s a few intersections I do it all the time. Looking into it, Alaska and Michigan also allow this.

Wow, I really want to build a prerunner with this Pandem kit now.

Ahh that makes sense. Thank you Mr. Ventures!

From what I’ve heard the organizers gave him a pass for a couple years when he first started running his big H2 truck as they wanted to bring in more Americans to the audience. That’s why he created the Gordini trucks later, to comply with the rules.

Yeah it’s definitely about music. The director had all of the songs already picked and as central parts of the script before they ever had the rights for any of them. That’s backwards from how most movies are done. You usually write the script then pick songs you can get the rights for.

Not just a daycare, but an actual elementary school. And there are some apartments and houses only a couple blocks away. I’m surprised they’ve gotten away with what they do for so long. I mean, I’m all for it, and I would love to live nearby, but still.

According to Mormons we’re all from Missouri.

No I agree, I just feel like the reporting of the pre-orders has gone a little overboard, when for most of these companies it’s really not a big deal financially.

While it’s great these companies are jumping on board the electric bandwagon, you do know these pre-orders are just a drop in the bucket for most of these companies. I mean JB Hunt owns and operates 12,000 trucks and has 100,000 trailers and containers. $200,000 in preorders is just like buying a truck and a half for…

I too had a professor from who worked for Ford when the original NSX came out. He told us a story of how they took the car and literally sliced it in half length wise to investigate the construction of the aluminum chassis.

Pretty much a tube chassis, I think less so than a Trophy Truck, but similar. I’m pretty sure they are using basically the same chassis as when X-raid was running BMW bodies a few years ago.

Haha, that’s funny my work is the opposite. We get 4 weeks vacation, and unlimited sick days (though after three consecutive days they require a doctor’s note).

I don’t think they changed the gearing for this. He’s just barely on the throttle and short shifting at first. If you listen you can’t hear the turbos spool until he really gets on it. They probably told him to take it easy at first. Plus it helps keep the intercoolers colder at first like someone else said.

I don’t think they geared the car differently for this. You can hear the driver is short shifting, and since you can’t hear the turbos spooling my guess is he was only at 1/4-1/2 throttle at first. They probably wanted him to take it easy at first and let the tires warm up. No need to add extra stress into the tires…

He meant the motor is DC. Most “consumer” electric cars (Tesla, Bolt, Leaf, etc) are AC motors. AC is better for releasing a charge over a longer period of time and can rev to the moon, but DC has a higher power and torque rating, but a low rev limit.

No joke, my dad ran a 4x4 and mini-truck shop in the late 80s/early 90s and totally built a few trucks like this. He himself owns a mid-80s Toyota pickup, with a small block Chevy, lifted 11" on 39s (huge tires at the time), with a hydraulic tilt/lift/dance bed (that hasn’t worked since I was probably 3).

I think you’re overestimating the advance and adoption of autonomous trucks. The “autonomous” trucks you have seen so far are nothing more than glorified cruise control and lane keeping that only works on a divided highway, when other cars are around, and the weather is good. Once you leave the highway, they still…
