If I'm not mistaken the rules favor the slower car, it's the faster cars job to not smash up the slower car, not the other way around/

not to totally derail the subject but you were at the Dream Cruise meet correct?

My dad used to tell me that cars back 'in the day' had underrated horsepower numbers because of some sort of emissions law. I assume this was the case with this car but can anyone elaborate as to how the auto companies got away with it, and why exactly it was done (compared to today when everyone car company almost…

Ha! That video just made my day, well done sir.

Regarding #3: Go Like Hell, one of the best books ever written on the subject, and well written at that. If you haven't read it, you need to.

Volt advisor: "But sir it's not street legal, it doesn't even have a license plate on it."

Smart Start alone is pretty friggen awesome. I have it in all 4 of my vehicles, granted I also got the units and service super cheap through my work... they're fairly expensive retail iirc, but there's nothing like the nerdgasm of pushing a button on your phone and your car starting. My head hurts just thinking about…

They're cheap (former police versions anyway) and they have a V8... what's not to love? I bought one for $1000, dropped a supercharger on it (with almost no supporting mods except for drag radials in the rear) and ran it at the drag stip for a whole summer before the motor ate itself alive. It was fun, it was cheap…

Zing!

Aaaaaand there goes any chance of an insurance claim, aside from the fact that insurance would already be very suspicious given the circumstances there's now video proof. Not to mention possible reckless driving (or worse) charges that can be brought up. This is one of the few times I wish I was a cop, just so I could…

"When I first heard she was pregnant I said 'that baby ain't mine'" Really?!? That's the FIRST thing you said... what a wonderful human being, I feel terrible for this child.

I'm normally a very calm person, but if this happened to me I'd lose my friggen mind. God forbid a news anchor was near by, I'd be one of those crazy people babbling nonsense into the microphone, and then I would cry... manly tears.

From the article "It is against state policy to pave over a deer, said Walter Bortree, a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation engineer."

I always take a small tool box with me on long trips, and always replace things like the serp belt, make sure the pulleys move freely, spark plugs, change oil, and any other small maintenance item that could leave me in a bind on the road. I also carry a jump pack/compressor/worklight combo that I picked up for…

My dad told me stories about my Grandma refusing delivery of vehicles that had the dealership badge on it, I've bought 2 vehicles new in my life, and both times I told the salesperson if it had anything BUT the factory badging on it I would not take delivery. They had no problem with it either time.

I carry a small aluminum jack and usually have a portable impact gun in my car when I go on long road-trips, I also have a full size-spare. Last year on my way to Florida for the 12 hours of Sebring I heard the "fub fub fub fub" of a flat tire. Total delay added to trip? Less then 10 minutes. Total delay added if I…

pin striping that dealers apply is 99.99999% of the time a vinyl decal. Actual pin striping which you usually see on custom hot-rods and the like that's done by hand is a very awesome, and very skilled thing to watch. I had a pin striper do some work on the back of my Macbook Pro, it's subtle, and really adds some…

Exactly, I have a "do not duplicate" key on my keychain for my office... not sure why but it tempts me.

I've done some really really stupid things in my time, I mean stuff that I walk away from and go "holy shit did I really just do that... and survive?" but NOTHING as stupid as this. He should've been hit just to learn a lesson about doing something like that. Come on folks lets use our heads here.

His book, iWoz is a VERY good read, and it goes well with the Jobs biography, so you get both sides of the story.
