I kinda just want to fill a shopping cart full of concrete now...

Mmm.... Cast Iron...

Jalopnik is leaking. I like it.

Yeah, it’s straight out of an action thriller. When you gotta destroy it though, you gotta destroy it. That said, it wouldn’t be difficult to keep a shotgun next to the computer, and you could just hit the drive with some buckshot... same effect, similar timeframes, plus now you have a shotgun.

Seriously... It’s like people want to make it easy for a thief, putting all the valuable stuff in one nicely packaged box for someone to discretely carry away and break into at their leisure? Get a big fat safe that’s a bitch to move, bolt it to the studs AND floor joists, and get some insurance on top of it...

Anything that’s so insensitive to shock and temperature that it requires ~1800 degrees applied to begin its reaction I’d consider pretty damned safe to handle. You’ll definitely not want to be holding it when it starts going, but if you’re destroying data, then start it and walk away. Completely safe, won’t even be…

Seriously... It’s even safe to premake, preposition in the hard drive bay above the data one, and easy to arm and ignite via an electrical switch if needed rapidly. If you really need to destroy data quickly, safely, efficiently, securely and awesomely, thermite is the way to go...

All i noticed was MB Pickup Truck. Please make this happen so we can shit all over the “Platinum” F-150s...

Those few atoms of platinum we’ve scraped off the side of the road from catalytic converters might not be enough...

I think that before we start sending these nightmare machines to other planets to scare away the locals, we should definitely be investigating how we can use these for urban search and rescue. USAR teams are always in need of innovative ways to search extremely confined and dangerous places. Using these to find…

Annnnd thats why I now own a machete.

Yeah, it’ll be mid engined too. You heard it here first folks! MID-ENGINE CORVETTE 2018!

yes

I kinda want an ankle speaker that plays theme music whenever I cross into GPS defined areas... eh on the smooth jazz.

Yeah that sounds a hell of a lot more invasive than even this...

Do we have any idea of impact velocity? I’m curious how safety systems hold up in accidents with hypercars that don’t get safety testing like mass market vehicles...

Why not just use an existing format like Ultra Panavision 70 if you want that kind of field of view?

More calories burned! It’s a feature not a bug!

agreed...

This has actually happened to me, it was my first car accident. I was going about 50 mph on a smaller highway in NJ, in my mother’s Chrysler Town & Country. The front left wheel wheel started vibrating, I slowed to about 35-40 mph as it proceeded to get more violent. The wheel fell off at about 30 mph, and started…
