Only good thing about Jackass is that they used “Corona” by The Minutemen as a theme song, which probably paid for Mike Watt’s fun musical career after we lost D. Boon.

It’s a shame they can’t part out the motors, batteries and inverters for homebuilders.

In a sense, you could argue the Miata is just a poor person’s Utopia Roadster.

Team Oregon offers an Advanced Rider Training class that’s in the ballpark of this, and they even used to teach the Akira Slide. Truly a mind-blowing experience for a regular street rider.

Look, it can handle the 80% of situations where nobody’s in danger, why quibble about the 20% of situations where the car might be wrecked and someone might be killed?

Guess he graduated past easy sex, arson and combinations thereof.

We need RAM Charger innards on a 3/4T or 1T chassis with 8' bed, for all the construction contractors, horse people, dirt-toy-haulers and exurban commuters who want a fancy truck that looks like $100k but need a Prius that can carry a full ton and pull another 4 tons a few times a year.

Best I can say is that I hope the CT takes away the “damnlibrul” stigma from EVs so we can get some more electric and series-hybrid pickups sold and on the road.

Interesting writeup and good angles on the static photos, I sure do wish you could’ve brought a safety buddy and gotten some action shots.   It seems like a great machine for ripping dramatic rooster-tail power slides.

Professional boat haulers must plan their routes. Boaters and experienced truck drivers know this, and you better be using an experienced driver for an expensive boat like that. Somebody screwed up.

Thanks, came here to say the same. One advantage is that the front wheel can use lighter spikes because it doesn’t have to transmit braking torque from the hub.

My sister used to plan routes for boat-hauling, it’s a heck of a job even with computer maps.  Someone done screwed up here.

Designed To Still Be Timeless Next Century

In the book version of Lovecraft Country, the writer points out that Black people owned very nice cars whenever possible, just to limit police harassment.

Found the cop.

I recall that in Europe, people carry their own cable and street chargers have special sockets for them.  That would prevent this kind of thing, and would also make it a lot easier to build chargers into light poles and such.

How can you say that? Polluting aquafiers to pull methane out of the earth to make fertilizer to pollute different aquafiers to feed corn to ship across the country to turn into ethanol to ship back across the country to add to gasoline to pollute the atmosphere is the American Way!

I always felt that the Triumph TR6 was a pretty good take on the Nissan Fairlady.

Just airing out some Dirty Laundry.

Even as a Tom Waits fan, I will admit that The Eagles version of “Ol ‘55" is actually better, and sponsored his later brilliance. And the only time I will tolerate a Bob Dylan song is when someone else is singing it. Neko Case does a charming “Buckets of Rain” for instance.
