Oh man, that reminds me of the stupidest wreck I've ever seen. I-85S in GA at the onramp from Buford Rd (exit 115, Mall of Georgia area) a civic was coming up the on-ramp, holding the same speed as a tractor-trailer in the right lane, and held station right about mid-trailer. Next thing the civic driver realizes that…

Haha, I did something similar with an Arduino for an elementary school career day. I added a js library to a simple NodeJS app that did speech-to-text and lex/yacc-like command processing of the resulting text so you could just tell the light to turn on. waaaay overkill, but the kids loved playing iron man and…

Hey Torch, I'm serious, let's do this one. I'm in Atlanta if you're ever in the area.

Was it just me, or did it look like he took the helmet off without actually undoing a chin strap?

My parents bought my mother's car in New Hampshire, and drove it home to Oregon. I bought one of my cars in England and had it shipped to the States. My first car (truck) I bought in Seattle and drove it home to Oregon. Then my second car I bought in England and had shipped to Charleston, SC, which then required…

Sadly, no good pictures on hand. I'd wanted a classic Mini since I was 15 or so. Saw the Italian Job (original) and was karting at the time. My dad said "they're like gokarts for the street." I was sold. Love that little car. It's about to be completely taken apart and freshened up. It is by far the most fun car…

having just priced these out that price matches up with others which were multi-owner with accidents reported in their carfax reports. For $58k there is an 05 with 12k on the clock, no accidents reported. Would much rather spend the extra scratch for significantly lower mileage with how costly the repairs are.

Try a toll. The roof on my RHD 1970 mini is lower than the change funnel's rim. And the 5-point harness doesn't help things. You can reverse through a drive-thru. Not so much a toll plaza!

Shifting isn't bad compared to the "why am I in the passenger seat?" feeling, so you really don't notice.

Seems like it might be a fun one to troll him on.

A number of years ago at the Mitty I watched a late model stock car race at RA. Just. Wow. Those boys were bangin' doors and rolling hard the entire way. I'd throw down some $$ to watch NASCAR there. Hell, just the people watching might *might* be almost as good as Sebring at night during the 12hrs.

"How does that compare to your daily commute?"

why did you turn down?

Right about 6 years ago, after the economy had tanked I was in a fortunate position of having a well paying and secure job at a well known tech company. I needed to finally throw down for a daily driver as my truck, while still nice, wasn't going to cut it. I stopped by one of the local Mercedes dealers. I'd made a…

Singapore is going to be AWESOME!!!

Was originally going to post a military personnel carrier truck, but it didn't look like any good ones were available at the moment. I've seen them go for stupid cheap on govliquidation.com. But while browsing I found this instead. No clue what it'll go for, but one can always hope it meets the criteria of the…

Seems like that bed is just asking for a V8.

Do the front seats lay back to, or almost to flat? Did the 24hrs of Le Mans in a rental Skoda wagon where the front seats went to near flat. Was a great way to camp.

I miss that show :(. My wife got me a hoodie that says "Veridian Dynamics: Sciencevation at its best!"
