BBBBBRRRRRRAAAAAPPPPPP

to be fair, Red Bull always called it the "stratos" jump...

[This is the cover image for the original Lamborghini Miura brochure. It is, uh, rather bullish.]

The more interesting and immediate question for me is what drivers will do when they're sitting behind the wheel and it appears like something bad is going to happen under the robot's control.

I figure going out in a massive shunt is the racing car version of a Viking burial

Dad's are great for "Don't ever do this!" stuff.

Being on 30 miles of gravel roads before we hit pavement, our grain trucks had their fair share of flats. We'd always fix them in our shop, but getting those big muthas to bead was a pain in the ass.

Did you design the ignition switch for the Cobalt? It's relevant to if we take your recommendation or not.

The H3 is nice but I’ve always liked the old Pali Highway (HI-61) better from a scenic point of view.

I think you both saw it when the Icelandic support crew did it to Top Gear's toyota on the north pole special.

Suddenly I'm rather annoyed that I'd hung out in Hungary each summer for 3 years, and somehow one of the most dangerously cool things to happen occurred a month early...

Of course the watch goes to "11"
