The road cars are up to f70 (LaFerrari, whereas the Enzo was F60).

The idle rythym isn’t all that special. The old Indian that pulled up next to me at a light years ago, though...hnnggghhhh. And I’m not even a cruiser guy.

This will never be worth the weight, safety, or infrastructure costs. Instead, just make the Y-split gangways and cut boarding time in half. Don’t even need to change the plane, just have to figure out how to cantilever the rear path safely over the wing. OK Airbus, where’s my check?

The officer is impressive, but the bike is not. Watch any police agility videos with metric bikes, and they’re doing the same turns much faster, leaning much further than is possible on a cruiser. Heck, we were required to do tighter 180s in a beginner MSF course.

E30 has semi-trailing arms, not swing axles.

Um, no. It’s mufflerless. It wouldn’t meet emissions regs without a cat.

The Prius is admirable and important, true. But I have to disagree on the basic premise, that it’s an enthusiast’s car. It’s an appliance for getting from place to place, bought by people who have decided that they need a reasonably practical car to fill that role, but want to minimize the incidental costs - fuel/CO2.…

Listing now flagged for removal, so ... yeah.

Early Cayman in a dark color, sure. New Cayman, in silver/white/bright color, as it should be? Side intakes are unmissable.

Well, the Euro page includes Wes’ listed weight, and the US page is slightly higher than the old weight, so it’s not a strict copy. As for the side exhaust reasoning, I’d say they’re making room for a larger cat in Europe than the US. Amusingly, the Euro page actually notes the US has its own emission regs:

Ducati US is showing 377# dry weight and underslung exhaust, so I’d say you’re right:

It’s been tried. Or at least, using the wheel or wheel cover to exhaust, which is the direction that makes sense. But for a race car with ducts, it probably offers little more cooling, and some weight penalty. For a road car, it’s unnecessary.

Deflategate III — II was the F1 tires, no?

This nose art is perfect (may be on the other plane):

Believe it or not, it’s a legit word, interchangeable with ironic. See also: inflammable.

I believe it’s been said before, but between this and the marshal it bears repeating: Russia is Florida of Europe (though Sochi is technically Asia).

That’s speed tape, which is far better than duct tape and approved for this sort of use. You’re being either either disingenuous or willfully ignorant.

A little late, and I had to look it up myself, but:
