Wait wasn’t this weeks ago? I might actually be able to make it! It’s gonna be cold! High of 43, low of 25 holy crap I’ve lived in Texas too long for this shit.

You’re not the kind of person to go around the track backwards trying to take the leader out so your friend can pass them?

The only place its acceptable to drive drunk is video games...

Wait, this isn’t normal outside of Texas?

Well given Alonso’s and Toyota’s reliability issues, I’d give him a 40% chance of race completion, that said, if they do complete the race without major incident, I’d give a 95% chance of 1st place.

This uses a ceramic blade or wheel that you’re scraping your steel blades across. The angle is preset, likely 25 degrees. Most German style kitchen knives are 25 degrees, so that’s fine, but if you’ve got anything Japanese you’re effectively ruining their angle (which is why they’re considered sharper). The real issue…

If you care about your knives, might want to consider something else.. This will work for most knives, but it won’t be pretty, and it won’t be nearly as sharp as many would like it.
If you’re not honing or sharpening your knives pretty much ever though, this is a decent first step.

Hellcat Grand Caravan anyone?

Oh boy... yeah it was a fairly large cat, it was solid black with white accents around the paws or something like that, wasn’t aware bobcats had that sort of mottling. Next time I encounter wildlife like that I’ll keep an eye out for its family, hadn’t even considered it at the time...

One of those feral cats committed suicide against my front right tire as I was driving back from the Lone Star Le Mans last year. Damage was limited to the cat being DOA, and my car needing a new plastic wheel well / engine divider piece. Really frustrating when you don’t even get a chance to correct and dodge that…

Actual motor races can take anywhere from 1 to 24 hours, and that’s usually going laps around a track.

Silly capitalist, Motorcycle is fine!

While they do X-Ray checks on materials to look for tiny cracks, those might not appear at all with a substandard material.

That’s surprisingly reassuring.

Yeah... this is really really not good. The aerospace applications might be the most severe, as they typically have the thinnest margins of safety. If a material isn’t within spec, that’s absolutely terrifying. That said, I’d hope for these kinds of subsystems they’d do independent testing of materials received at…

Something about that hood vent looks like garbage from the angle of the lead photo. Is the hood vent new, and does it look better from other angles? Any guess on when a new generation GT would come out?

I’m sure plenty of us know a guy, why aren’t we requesting these features?

Regarding the changing track, various disturbances, etc, I’ve got a solution. Do it like twitch plays something. Everyone attending at the race is given a one time code for a smartphone app. This smartphone app takes instructions from everyone at the race who wants to participate, puts it into a central server that…

I’m sorry, but murder is murder no matter if it’s done with Polonium, a bullet, a knife, a fist, a hammer, a blade of grass, or whatever.

At what point are you going to come to the realization that the problem is the actions of people, not the means they do it with?
