What Buzz said. High performance cars are designed with break away points because they’re more efficient at transferring collision energy away from the passenger compartment especially in a high speed collision. That’s why you see stories about 200 mph crashes in Ferrari Enzos where the driver can walk away.

BBlades: A powertrain update and diet would make it attractive to enthusiasts.

Don’t know what skiers and snowboarders you hang around, but it’s generally cold enough that you don’t sweat much. I’ve got a five year-old set of boots that have seen 20-40 ski days a year and they don’t really have a smell at all.

Just holding your head straight through the corners in an F1 car requires enough strength that drivers can so things like this:

The state bird of their next door neighbor, Utah, is the seagull. Plus seagulls are stupid and annoying.

Rule of thumb: If you’re running a 5k in an hour, you’re walking.

The fact that anyone has to say it at all already speaks volumes.

Because more designs means more appeal and potential for merchandising. It’s a bit silly to pretend that there is any technical reason for anything in a movie.

We have the power.

Your ears would hurt if that thing drove past you too. Things fucking loud.

This has always been one of my favorites. This is a shot of Eau Rouge at Spa Francorchamps in Belgium. On the left: GT class racecars. On the right: F1.

That article about BMW engines was horseshit. They definitely have their issues, but the only actual problem he described about the S54 could easily have been resolved with some Loctite and the foresight to fix a known issue. The crank issue affected so few cars that it’s stupid to act like it’s a common problem. You

Probably. Maybe. Lol no.

But let’s not forget, their whole strategy from the beginning was to build their reputation with luxury cars and then move into the lower end market. If anything prevents then from going cheaper it’ll be the fact that they don’t have economies of scale where they need them yet.

Integrating the cooler and radio are great... Assuming you actually work a) outside at all and b) near your truck. When i worked construction, we brought that stuff with us, unloaded it out of the truck and into various buildings where we actually did the work.

And even removing the grill isn’t out of the norm. I mean, if 90's Pontiac did it...

No the author’s saying, “Tesla good. Mmmm Tesla.” He doesn’t actually know anything about how state pensions work.

72 million out of a 60 billion dollar pension fund is just a hair over 0.1%.

Bribes? No. If you want to talk about lobbying we can have that conversation, but Tesla ain’t innocent on that matter.

You can operate all three pedals with one foot at once.
