Having cross-shopped the Mustang Ecoboost and the listed Camaro, as a driver’s car the Camaro is the better choice. It’s lighter, the suspension is better, and while it does have a power deficit relative to the Ecoboost it doesn’t show up in acceleration tests. The Mustang bests the Camaro on comfort and…

As someone who has designed and installed these kinds of systems you are way off. It’s highly likely they were not only stored in an insulated enclosure but they have redundant conditioning as well. On top of that they would have had backup power for the conditioned space.

I love the “catfish” Camaro. It’s underrated. It was a far more modern and superior car to the mustang at the time. I miss understated good looks. These cars look positively badass lowered with nice wide wheels and tires on all 4 corners.

The recessed, skinny sealed-beam headlights and blacked-out greenhouse on that 1994 are such a great look, and a clean design. I secretly loved that generation of Camaro.

The only one of the above that scares me when it comes to loss of refrigeration is the cumene hydroperoxide. Some of the ones listed aren’t even that hazardous. Chlorodiflourmethane, for example, is R-22 refrigerant. Most of it is your basic flammable or corrosive hazards, but unless they come in contact with a…

According to statements from the company, they left an 11 person ride-out team behind to deal with storm issues. When main power went down, their generators took over. Unfortunately, flooding took out the generators, so they moved the temperature-sensitive products to refrigerated shipping containers powered by…

Yup. Certain chemicals are drug precursors that get regulatory folks all tingly. I had a guy get something that was a precursor to make GHB. That was a pain in the balls to clear up...

Sounds like ther followed EPA RMP, as they’re aware of it...just that no one figured the redundant systems would fail. But between this and Fukushima, it might be worth considering...

meh... the organic peroxides are reactive and unstable - that’s why this place is likely to explode or catch fire. They probably won’t have serious long-term environmental impacts because they will react with stuff in the short term, and cease to exist in the long term.

“Organic peroxides were one of the materials used to craft bombs for ISIS attacks in Paris and Brussels...”

Puh-leeeeze! Vice, go figure.

Thinking the same thing, lots of precious bits low on the front of the car is not good for off-roading, but then they’re calling this the Trackhawk, and not the Trailhawk (I think there already is one). This thing isn’t meant to go any more off road than any other SUV usually does.

And Daft Punk is sad you said that.

You mean the guys with jacked up trucks ALL OVER THE NEWS that were travelling from all over Houston to rescue people, ease boats into deep water and take supplies to folks?

Just like your race car that’s likely never seen track time.

Those were basically the only vehicles from the flooded areas that survived and they were all running around the past 4 days rescuing people from their homes. They still may not have left pavement technically but the lifts and big tires sure helped them get around

Great post. Don’t forget it is also part of the urban bias against rural folks.

The “arm chair” journalists and related media would have us believe that the only people who can assist in situations like this is the state/fed government, local LEO/Fire and Military. In their view, volunteer civilians simply cannot have the necessary training or even remotely understand how to assist others in an…

Seriously... assembling a large, volunteer force to rescue people is “for better and worse”, because a guy helping people dares to mention he heard gunfire... and right after that they crosspost an article telling journalists to stop shaming looters.

LT1 Roadmaster with the tow package. It is rated for 7000 pounds, seats 8, has wood paneling, has a Corvette V8, and is more comfortable than anything on your list by a country mile. And the best part? This big boat only cost me $2500.
