@mkbruin: Yeah 'cause you know, NOTHING ever goes wrong with a mechanical linkage.

@twinturbo2: Greenpeace eco-thug crowd? That's some impressive characterization right there. Even better than all the anti-science environmental obstructionists who like to stick their head in the sand and refuse to admit that there's a problem.

@C-James-99: Yeah, and the editors and commenters on this site consistently bitch about cash for clunkers taking away their old shitty cars.

@Sam Smith: This is experimenting with new technology in a race environment. It may not pay dividends right away, but who knows what could come of it in the future. I bet you weren't bitching about the stupid experimentation with 6-wheeled F1 cars, though.

@RäcinG73™: So, minor changes for a marginal increase in performance? That's a real show-stopper right there.

@RäcinG73™: Aside from the difference in platform (1/2 ton vs. 3/4 or 1-ton for the HD), both conform to the strict definition of a pickup truck. Any value judgement implied by the ALL CAPS TRUCK would have to consider the intended use as well.

@oyumurtaci: Bowler Wildcat. One actually has real Dakar cred, and one is a Ford truck for all the 909 bros.

@DonLuc: Yeah, enjoy living in the 909, bro.

@paulmer hates electric cars: Highway onramps and tollboths are consistent real-world applications of the 0-60 figures. No one ever just accelerates a car balls-out for 1/4 mile in real world driving.

I still don't understand why I should care that GM welded 2 different truck frames together.

@invincible-delta-88: Why is the second "truck" in all-caps?

@geschmidtt: You buy a Canepa one because otherwise you can't drive it on the street in the States. If I recall correctly, the Canepa Designs 959s were all able to be approved for street-legal registration.

@Matt Hardigree: You go ahead and spend your money there. I'll be here waiting for Old John to come back.

@Smells_Homeless: In theory they're different. In reality, every self-professed Libertarian I've ever met has a huge hardon for Ayn Rand.

@900turbo: So first we complain about Toyota building cars with drive-by-wire throttle and brakes that give poor driver feedback. And then, we complain about GM not building any more land yachts that have poor driver feedback.

@Smells_Homeless: Smart ones, huh. You can have all the Randroids. All the rest of interested in making progress will hang out over here.

@DoctorNine: There'll probably be another crossmember in there for the transaxle to mount to at some point. I wouldn't worry too much, they're clearly a long way from done.

@jodark: There are many Americans who dislike things that aren't from America simply because of that fact. That's the definition of xenophobia. It just so happens that many of these people are also NASCAR fans.

@RäcinG73™: No, even if you understand those things, NASCAR is still boring.

@rebeldevil: If GM or Ford participated, they'd lose all the time, and Americans still wouldn't watch.
