So... go to the lot they are keeping it, pull the engine, and bring them in separately, then put the engine back in? Sounds like a fun afternoon...

Driving my university’s BajaSAE car (Briggs and Stratton 10HP) on a motocross track is one of my favorite four-wheeled moments (shown below using no wheels)

You would lose any traction control/ABS that helps you stop though, so this could kinda be a valid point.

Animal muscles are basically variable rate springs.

Laying up carbon fiber is hard.

Maybe not any more, but back in the day there was still some class in F1:

It’s a pretty neat build, not done yet: http://corner-carvers.com/forums/showthr…

Subaru manifolds are weird too...

I must confess to having never owned a 60s Alfa :( And honestly I wouldn’t care if it broke down every time I turned it on I would still want it.

Well Ferrari overcame the fact that every single car they’ve ever made catches fire to win a couple of races too. Must be some sort of benedicaria witchcraft.

And when one of these pops up in your mirror, it can stay there too—until it passes you.

Well if the car can come to you, I would think that you schedule a pickup and it is there on time. It would probably mean that spontaneous trips are harder, but for things you plan out in advance (going to and from work, etc) it would be nice.

Also it is likely that if cars are fully autonomous that rather than owning a car, you will be part of a subscription service that will maintain a fleet of them so that your car isn’t sitting around all day, but rather constantly in use with passengers.

Your autonomous car will autonomously drive to the autonomous repair shop and the bill for parts and autonomous labor will be autonomously charged to your credit card.

Russia or Florida are just always good first guesses when you see crazy stuff.

Maybe I’ll invent a keyboard with circle keys, or something

The 2.8L inline 6 in the ‘78 280Z made 135HP. So I agree on the LOLs. Nearly twice the displacement, 2 extra cylinders, and 4 extra HP. CP.

I never said that. Read my post.

Equating being vegan with alcoholism or teetotalling or whatever is a little off. Being vegan is all about the nitpicky semantics. Synthetic leather is perfectly acceptable - it’s pretty much the point. You have the technology now to get adequate nutrition and products without them using animal byproducts at all. Why…

It is like a (non-fixie) bicycle - when you stop pedalling, the rear wheel spins faster than the pedals and the bike “coasts”. Usually it is some form of ratcheting device. On the two-stroke Saab engines this was used because a 2-stroke uses the oil in the fuel to lubricate the engine, so driving the engine faster…
