it was a fantastic deal for the companies ...hawkers ... con artists ...

watered down story ... for a wider audience

cool that you enjoyed it! I’m very much looking forward to it, even though it’s more for the visuals and sci fi world building. To me, and I think it’s apparent even from the first trailer they released, it sounds like they retold the ‘Robo Cop’ story with the skin of GitS. If you do watch the original, which I…

Clint Mansell? Holy shit!

You probably can’t see the other replies; yeah, it’s the central brake that’s glowing. It’s called a ‘pinion brake.’ Not the diff.

As soon as the seat belt sign goes gives you a small window of privacy if you think fast.

do you know why mechanical injection?

pic 4....that’s some brutal safety wiring

No, I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure he was just holding a wicked wheelie and ran smack into another ramp. If you look at what the trick is composed of, we start with a good jump. No big deal. But then:

I went to my first monster truck event just this past Feb. 90% of what they do in to ‘trick driving’ part of the show is floor it, hit a ramp, the keep flooring it until a) something breaks, or b) they’re up side down. I’m sure there’s lots of engineering in the trucks, engine, drive train (in every run I saw, both…

We cannot allow a ship-tunnel gap!

and then they’ll tell us the female orgasm is also real.

3, 2, 1, let’s jam

a shame Ford never really did more with the KA
