Yeah, this wouldn’t work without track modifications. But I’m pretty sure that they could be modified to work in both directions.

I have a nice idea how to fix this “problem”. Exactly 5 minutes before the qualifying/race starts a coin is flipped. The coin decides if the oval is going to be driven clockwise or counterclockwise. The cars cannot be modified in any way after the direction has been decided.

I do remember this HOA episode. I did enjoy reading about it.

I have been listening my favorite radio channel though my phone while driving. The station currently doesn’t have a license to use regular FM station but hopefully they will get it back soon.

I think this guy was selling the decensored porn. So it was basically a piracy violation and the decensoring didn’t matter much.

The inner structure of the body is wood. I think it would fairly easy to date how old the wood is. Of course you might be able to source period correct wood to construct a replica but artificially aging it after it has been shaped should be extremely difficult.

Maybe they were licensing a software feature and the owner of the patent wanted more money to renew the license than they were willing to pay? I have no idea how you could find out if my guess was correct. Maybe reading the whole EULA might give some hints but it could hard to find now that the app has been disabled.

I think the modern F1 engines have an advantage in the energy efficiency. I borrowed this from M-B’s pages (the mentioned racecar was used during 2017 season):

Would you rather live with a car that’s temporarily lacking an USB port or wait until they are able to deliver a complete car?

Volvo L3304 (AKA Pansarvärnspjästerrängbil 9031) from the early 60's used the idea of having a softened bumper.

That drifting Camaro appears to have air filters besides its motor. And it indeed does. Cooling air filters for air cooled power electronics? Quite confusing setup. I bet they did this on purpose.

The first generation was called Honda Quint Integra and it was indeed available as 3, 4 and 5 door versions. Here’s the 4 door version which was only available in Japan.

One solution would be to launch two rockets near simultaneously. The rotating assembly would only be unbalanced for a half revolution.

They are very rare but these did indeed exist. Most were used as taxis and converted for regular gear levers after their taxi duties were over. I think column shifted W123s were available in some other minor market areas too but column shifted W124s were built for Finnish markets only. Here’s one W124 example.

This generation of HiAce vans was a very popular model in Finland. Rust did like to eat them but otherwise they were very reliable. And nearly all of them did have a column shifted 4-speed or 5-speed transmission.

I’m kinda thinking that the trike doesn’t belong to the idiot. He doesn’t seem to have any idea how the controls work.

The engine crossed the Atlantic for the second time as Chrysler continued making these in Brazil after the production in France was ended. In Brazil the engine received “Ardun style” OHV heads as an upgrade in 1966. The resemblance to Hemi engines was noted and engine was called Emi-Sul.

The A/C seems to be still in the car. Japanese marketing stuff also confirmed this.

I do partially hate this thing. It looks cool but Pontiac decided to offer these only with an automatic transmission. The lesser versions could be bought a 5-speed manual. Either the manual wasn’t strong enough for the turbocharged engine or Pontiac guys were just stupid.
