I’m interested in the details behind the incident and conclusion. I feel like if he were in a “low tech” car without semi-autonomous features, he would have almost surely crashed or veered into another car.

Everyone is ragging on this dude, but I kind of feel like he just accidentally fell asleep on a long, boring drive and didn’t die because the car was driving itself.

It’s hard to tell if you’re joking. I think you’re joking, but just in case you aren’t: using a VPN is only going to make your ping worse.

In some ways, I’m sort of surprised they haven’t contracted out the manufacturing part to one of the Japanese conglomerates.

Also, for something to “absorb” the crash energy, it has to be deformable: you’re converting the kinetic energy of the crash to strain energy by bending the metal. An engine block is very stiff, so it mostly transfer the crash energy from the bumper into firewall and into the passenger compartment (not good!). Most…

A lot of armchair experts with no project being really critical and negative.

As someone who’s actually building a Jeep from scratch, with the engine from a SAAB 9000 Turbo, I can appreciate the excitement and passion that comes with combining a vehicle you love, with your favorite engine. And just how difficult and…

No, it’s lust. We’ve all confused the two.

Is it innovative? Maybe not. John Hennessey has done similar projects so there you go. On the other hand you got to give it up for this guy who has completely shredded it put it back together and that thing doesn’t look like a spaghetti car.

About a million dollars in price difference...

Colin Chapman approves! (and so do I, long live SAAL!)

I hate to be the lone dissenter, but this does not add lightness or simplify, which is the spirit of Lotus.

“Extending the wheelbase 110 inches, widening the track 14 inches...” I think there’s an extra 0 tacked on to the extension of the wheelbase. Unless he added 9 feet to the car.

All racecars are mid-engine because it is the most consistent of all the layouts. It’s the most predictable at the limit. Most races depend more on consistency than anything else. Plus, there are countless regulations that essentially force a RMR layout these days.

True: How many porsches have been sold by significant others saying “But sweetie, it’s got 4 seats”. 4 seats = wholesome family outings. 2 seats = dirty weekend with home wrecking bimbo.

Kids? I sat in the back of a 991.2 recently. I fit easily (5-foot-8, 173cm) with a driver a wee bit taller (5-foot-10, 178cm) than me in the driver’s seat.

The Evora is MR and has 4 seats.

It’s some sort of stupid dare game popular with coal rollers. No, I don’t get it.

I hope that this simple act has somehow sterilized them.

They probably can’t hear you over the smell of FREEDOM!

Or the two guys putting their faces into the soot? This photo asks more questions than it answers
