On a serious note, jokes like those might be a reason there aren’t many females in engineering classes.
Hey, let’s not take issue with owning multiple cars! I mean, you can’t drive them all at once, right?
Yeah, eating dates.
I feel like you must have some inside knowledge of how universities operate...
Right you (both) are! How did I miss that?!
This ALON stuff is pretty neat - thanks for pointing it out!
Well, kind of. Calling sapphire “aluminium” is like calling rust “iron”.
But! Pure aluminium *can* actually be made transparent if you shine enough light on it (https://www.nature.com/articles/nphys1341). The only downside is that it a) requires a km-long particle accelerator, and b) evaporates the material in the…

Some of this abuse is a little unfair.
As much as I love sideways E21's, I don’t imagine they’d be a very practical place to go screw in.
I always wished they’d make a high performance version called the “R-Soul”...
These are some good ideas, but I believe yours is the real winner. It just doesn’t get any better than a white 80's supercar!
Citroen Cactus. I have to make sure I know someone really well before I tell them that I want one.
Wow someone should buy it an turn it into a trackday car...
Like, it’s just not that hard, right?!
I think this was one of the best NPOCP I’ve read in ages (even though they’re all good). Thanks!
