Or, again, it could have been the massive cement guardrail.

That was still just a terrible choice of words to make your hypothetical point.

If only the shakycam was the slightest bit watchable.

Do you mean the big cement barrier he hit?

Agreed. But I think during the turn, the beam pivoted relative to the dolly (possibly due to steering dolly understeer). Beam at 12 o'clock, dolly at 1 o'clock. It would be hard to correct bad misalignment with steering. My guess is he either was yelling for the driver to stop or slow, or thought he could slowly steer…

I think when it took the turn, the beam pivoted relative to the back wheels (i.e., beam at 12 o'clock, wheels at 1 o'clock). Even with a remote steering the back wheels... at that speed, it would be hard to constantly correct bad misalignment.

Sort of begs the questiton - why wasn't a flat bed trailer used? It would add weight (and cost, so maybe that's why), but it would alleviate problems, like the rear wheels going out of "alignment" during a turn and plowing into an embankment, for example.

Terry's son Payton said that he's a little sore, but when you're trying to set world records, sometimes a little pain is inevitable.

Didn't the original Beetle have a bud vase, as well?

VW will in fact build their mid-size SUV in Tennessee, more to come.

I will never understand the rear-seat cab. The point (to me) of a pickup is that you have that huge bed for hauling big objects, like long cuts of lumber, drywall/plywood, and cubic feet of rock/mulch/etc.

"It's because things are still happening on the PS3. Loads of people are still satisfied with the PS3's graphics."

Because their celebrity event featured an actor from Hong Kong?

Yep. I'm reminded of the old "and the Soviets used a pencil" story.

Big McLargeHuge!

Unrelated, but the ad at the bottom of my page says that the F-Type Coupe appears to list "performance, sound, view, braking, and an interior" as "features."

The newest planes are more environmentally friendly...

And you thought planes and airports were crowded now?
