My argument was that what the law dictates and what’s safest for everybody may sometimes diverge, so I believe it still stands.

Aux input is easy to do with most stereos equipped with CD changer controls. Problem with this is having to fiddle with your phone to change songs and such.

There’s no way of knowing if they are going the speed limit or under, and it’s irrelevant. Both a Miata and an S2000 are light, agile cars that can go a bit above the limit SAFELY. Notice I didn’t say the Miata driver was OK, just that I understood why he was frustrated mainly because, although probably illegal, the…

The motorcycle was going pretty slowly, I understand it’s probably illegal in the US but it wouldn’t have been unsafe at all for the S2000 to pass the motorcycle.

The thing that scares me isn’t the rocket, but rather the fact that basically all nuclear sites were (or are) actively “listening” for whatever radio signal this rocket sent to activate. I’m thinking with this being 80's technology it’s probably not even that hard to hack unless hopefully it’s had a few updates over…

Don’t Porsches have dry sumps exactly because of this?

Exactly what I was thinking, which is what I’m thinking for myself actually

This is the part that I still don’t get completely even after watching the explanation (although it did get me much closer to getting it).

Ahh, wasn’t thinking about cops; they’re actually not a problem where I live (but speed bumps and enormous potholes definitely are).

Red MGB just like the one in the picture. Rain. Lots, and lots of rain.

Reading in the forums some owners report front end lift at high speeds while others say the car remains stable. Luckily if all goes well in about a year I should be able to get a definitive answer once my dad and I manage to get his car together again :)

At least where I live, the BMW 1200 GS is the stereotypical “yuppie” bike while no one at all has a Safari. For DD I’d go with a bit smaller tires though, I’m crossing speed bumps not the Sahara after all.

I’ve been obsessing over Safari 911s for some time now, would make for a perfect DD

Maybe not even then actually. I’ve done a lot of reading on the E-type (though not so much on the bus) and despite the fact that the outer shape looks very aerodynamic it’s a brick under the hood and all the air going into it doesn’t have enough places to escape.

The E type’s bottom is pretty flat actually. The big mouth at the front for cooling makes the hood act a bit like a parachute though.

E type I think was actually aerodynamically tested but still has a lot of drag and a good part of it comes from under the hood actually. Lots of air enters through the “mouth” of the car where it hits a bunch of parts and also acts a bit like a parachute despite the louvers in the top of the hood.

The Type 35 in the video is actually a new car! The originals were made with lathes, simple machines and loads of man-hours. Pur Sang creates replicas in Argentina using all new parts and this is what this is.

You can bet it leaked even when new, but that was normal and expected back then and up until at least the 50's.

And yet even as a gearhead I think the model 3 is the most interesting new car at the moment since it’s the only one doing things differently. I’m not a big fan of the screen but this is a car meant to drive itself to a big extent.

I’m with you, seems like a hassle to keep my foot on the accelerator going downhill.
