Right? As long as you have to drive your roadable aircraft to a runway to take off, whats the point? May well just spend a lot less on a car and a small plane and have the same experience.

As a master tech this makes me smile.

They still have to get it safely of the lift though, which might be a challenge since one of the life posts is clearly not straight anymore.

I also believe the the driver who qualifies the car must be the one to race the car. So my understanding is that even someone like Sutil wouldn’t have been able to drive Australia, as Bottas had already taken part in qualy.

Yes this, I was wondering this too. Yeah, it makes the headlines when a CL sale goes wrong, but I mean people and stores are robbed everyday too. Not sure CL is any more risky, seems it just crabs the headlines.

Remember the good ol’ days when the numbers actually referred to displacement?

I’m sure someone else has already said this, but that bouncing is a classic example of a blown shock absorber.

Nice. There’s one of these for sale locally near me, but sadly no picture on craigslist. Half tempted to try and check it out. Think some car magazine had a featured build on swapping a sportbike engine into one of these. Seeing as Berekeleys this condition seem to be worth nearly nothing, you could probably manage to…

Suicide knobs are also a must have for disabled folks—we have customer who has limited use of one of his arms, and a suicide knob gives him the opportunity to drive himself around without any hindrance.

It looks sick, no doubt. But while I'm far from an aerodynamicist, it looks like it'd be desperately lacking downforce...no front wing endplates to speak of, no monkey seat, and a radically lowered rear wing just to start.

That’s sweet. Add some more battery capacity and you’re good to go.

Dear jesus. What a hateful way to die. Those guys looked like they were strapped in tight, but even so is there no way to unbuckle yourself and get out the hole when the ball is rolling?

A lot of us over on Jalopnick—and Black Flag especially—torrent Formula 1, since even when the races are broadcast in the US, the coverage isn’t nearly as good as the British, and the times to watch live anyway are often the wee hours of the night.

Four driver’s and four constructor’s titles!

Hahahaha I'd wondered if something like that ever happens. I think the difference is that in moto racing, it seems the teams or riders pick/provide their own grid person, whereas car racing they usually seem to be provided by the organizers.

Man, gonna need a big drone to deliver these...

Except as I understand it, most of the big airlines require a college degree on top of all that expensive flight school.

Anyone else developing a serious lust for the Crazy Soldier?

My guess is her pocketbook wasn't nearly deep enough to pay to play at Sauber.

Right? WTF is going on? Are they playing some sort of weird two-hand-touch-tag game?
