It’s called a helical cut, and you guessed the reason. Also, because of the 90-degree angle change, you get thrust loads regardless, so the race car calculus used for transmission gears (straight gears=no thrust loads=lighter gearbox) doesn’t apply. Straight cut is cheaper, but I’m pretty sure even race cars use…

In another picture, it shows a side-facing camera. Suspension action should be easier to pick up on the suspension itself, so not sure what they’re doing here. Infrared, maybe?

State law only supercedes where more stringent - any Cali car that satisfies CARB satisfies EPA anyway.

As someone whose knowledge of football comes entirely from HS Band, I love that you were the one to do this.

My only suggestion is a Lotus Elise/Exige for receiver. An E-type would only hack it in a seniors’ league, if those exist.

That’s the minimum the Corps of Engineers is supposed to maintain in the system. The boat’s v-hull is unsuited to it (at least if you want to carry cargo), but he says the draft is 5.5', much shallower than I expected, so it should work if they can actually finish and transport it. The boat itself could be carried on…

Despite Catoosa, you’re on point. You may notice all the boats in the port are barges — the minimum depth of the system is only 9'. This is a dreamboat dream-boat.

CFRP is lighter than aluminum, and stronger. Also, cooler. More susceptible to stress concentrations, though.

It is; it’s just a large, driveable one. And it looks the same in person. The more a car looks like a toy, the more it probably is one.

Agreed. This thinking is fairly mainstream, but who knows if it’ll happen:

Your 2-ton cage has a center of gravity height under 2ft. So you’re not going over. A tractor trailer, though...

Here’s a US link:

Nah, this is what he’s thinking of:

I grouped it as mistreatment/disease because I suspect most of the disease deaths are from overcrowding and such. Regardless, the overall point is that it’s essentially impossible to source. You’d have to have a rancher, a slaugherhouse, a tannery, and Tesla all lined up just for you. I’ve also considered roadkill…

Useless hypothetical. Cows as a rule don’t die naturally, they’re slaughtered or die from mistreatment/disease. That said, last I checked horses in the US cannot be killed by slaughter, so horse leather (horse ass leather, called shell cordovan, is arguably best leather) could be alright. It depends on whom you ask.

A set of weights and bar may have both lb and kg listed. Pounds are more relevant for comparison, but if you’re going to get all technical on local gravity, it’s the pounds that aren’t necessarily correct. All a weightlifter can generally say is that s/he lifted x kg, Bowflex and the like notwithstanding.

‘72 was still pretty early for belts.

They could also be using camera tricks as with the LotR movies, putting her further back on a stool.

What makes you think it’d be less expensive? You’d still need all the same parts as a hybrid, plus a transmission (even if only one speed), stub axles, CV joints, etc. You also wouldn’t get very good regeneration. Also note, this has already been done in a luxury-ish segment: the RLX SH-AWD hybrid has engine and one…

That’s rubber-sheathed conduit. Improvised club.
