Gotta be Jay.

Ih — I need a pair of these for the race car. they're go well with my truck-nutz.

OK, I'm going to take this rather literally. The greatest driver that appeared in a TV or movie.

I'm going to have to say either Phil Hill or Graham Hill. Both Formula one champions (and damned successfull in pretty much anything they drove,) and both appeared in 1966's Grand Prix.

Phil Hill

In an unexpected turn of events, the Camaro Z/28's engineers noticed that the tires rotated at least a full 360 degrees on the rims during a single lap on the test track. Brembo's carbon-ceramic brake rotors can do that to you.

KRLD in Dallas is reporting it was a Prius, not a Camry.

Refraction and reflection, actually.

And I never said dazzling a pilot wasn't dangerous. You guys REALLY need to work on your reading comprehension. I'll I'm saying is that the photo aboce is INACCURATE.

Sheesh. You guys act as if I were saying heroin is a harmless indulgence.

This is the last thing I'll say on this…

Pupil dialation doesn't really matter much with a laser. The beam cross section is generally smaller than your pupil , even when its stopped down in bright sunlight. (And yes, the room was darkened — tough to set up an optics table in a bright room.)

Just to clarify, I got a direct shot with a 30-ish mW Helium-Neon…

It's a lot of power but that's not going to change how it diffracts passing through a windscreen. I still say that "filling the entire cockpit with light." is a myth or urban legend (or maybe just hyperbole,) until I've seen it. Coherent like just doesn't behave like the light we see in the photo above. To get…

Exactly what have I denied? That lasers can be dangerous? Hardly. I will say that the above photo is over-the-top and obviously NOT a laser hit. It looks much worse than what a real hit looks like.

Second, I don't have to do the research because I already have. I've worked on several laser projects, mose recently…

Why not? There are plenty of lasers out there that could be used that won't damage the eyes. Any Class 3a or lower laser could be used, provided the subject didn't stare directly into the beam.

Looks like two separate videos, the first one being a live hit and the second being a simulation. Neither look like the photo above and the simulation shows what I would expect from a laser hit — distracting for sure, but unlikely to injure the pilot (unless we're talking about something more powerful than a class 3a…

Hurt? Really? Was that from hitting your head from the reflex reaction?

I've been lased in an optical lab (bad enough to burn the retna,) and it was completely painless.

Pretty sure those $5 laser pointers you use to play with the cat can't do that.

Plus, even from thousands of yards away, the beam spread from a laser is going to be negligible (unless you have a really shitty laser) so it won't be big enough to fill the cockpit like that. This photo seems to be of a person sitting in…

Let's not forget marketing. Being the Top Dog is pretty damned important when it comes to marketing hypercars.

Holy crap I can't spell!

Heaven? Perhaps. Perhaps not. >:)

How 'bout an enchilada bacon double-meat cheeseburger covered in cream gravy, served with bacon-cheese fries, a Coors Lote. You fcan finish that off with a milkshake, a slice of pecan pie, and another Coors Lite?

Rolling smoothly to a stop, and then, just before coming to a complete stop, slamming your passenger's head against the dash.

All of them. This engine has all the torques ever made, all gathered up in one spot.

Obviously, it's not as simple as flicking a switch. President Obama would also have to consider that he'd be hurting the American oil industry at the same time, and Saudi Arabia, our Good Friends And Partners™, would have to agree to go along with this as well. Not to mention the also heavily oil-dependent Canadians,…
