A few minutes of Google suggests... you welded this yourself? If so, mad props and Happy Hanukkah!

That Hanukkiah is amazing. Where can I get one?
The Hot Wheels Senna casting is shit. Really really phoned in. Definitely been eyeing the Mini GT.
I recently found my first Super Treasure Hunt—a purple Porsche 911 GT3 RS—and I couldn’t believe how beautiful it was, how high quality it felt and how detailed the paint and decals. I also have a few from the Hot Wheels id line which are similarly detailed. Mattel knows how to make a "premium" 1/64 toy, and I'm glad…
Why are all the videos in that playlist portrait?
I’d like to think that the state of security today, with sandboxed applications, encrypted hard drives and randomized address spaces, is a direct consequence of software engineers watching Trek in the 80s and 90s, saying, “Well let’s make sure THAT can’t happen,” and then going to work.
American racing livery is awesome. I really don't get why it's not more commonly offered, especially as every British make offers cars in BR Green.
Hot take: Interstellar was actually a good movie.
I really hope that McLaren, finally rid of the expense and baggage of a prima donna former world champion and now experiencing success on the track and popularity off of it (Lando winning fan-voted Rookie of the Year in a landslide), aren't thinking of going backwards.
God, as the parent of a 5yo I would absolutely buy this insurance if I could.
Developing a car is insanely expensive. McLaren has ruled it out for 2021 because they can’t afford to do F1, Indy *and* WEC. You’re just not going to get carmakers to sink enormous amounts of cash only to get beaten by a privateer team driving a spec chassis. And "class wins" don't mean shit to anyone except the…
That’s kind of my point. If yours is that a Carolinian MPGe reading will be less relevant to a driver in Vermont compared to what’s rated in Europe, sure, probably, but the US is a single market, and you have to report for the worst case, or at least the median one.
Worth noting that Opel and Jeep are about to be sister brands.
Why? When climate and road conditions differ from continent to continent, I’d expect cars to perform differently in the US then they do in Europe. The estimates that get published in each market should be the ones that are most reflective of the actual consumer experience in that market.
True. We'll have to see how Extreme E shapes up. Right now it's sounding more like a mix of Dakar and Formula Offroad, and them working off an SUV platform obviously gives them room for larger battery capacity. The point is, I think we are actively crossing the tipping point between electric motorsport being a gimmick…
I wonder if we even need a split between the two.
FYI—Formula E has run the full race distance without swapping cars for the last two years.
Chicken and egg. The TECH THAT GETS DEVELOPED through rallying to allow electric rally cars to survive a stage should and will get translated into advancements in road cars so that when your Fiat 500e goes over a pothole you don’t end up trashing the powertrain.
Anyone have a simple explanation for why the GT-Hypercar class can’t be faster? Throwing on a few more ponies shouldn’t be a problem when manufacturers are regularly turning out 1200HP machines. My wild guess here—without reading anything else—is that there are concerns that the hypercars wouldn’t be safe at higher…
