At $35k ($45K out the door) this car will FLY off the lots, assuming the 200 mile range (probably 150 mile real range) is accurate. As a comparison, a Leaf runs you $30k, and you get the interior of an econobox with <80 mile range. Color me very interested.

While the weight makes it seem more reasonable the fact that its BALANCED on his head without help as he goes up stairs is the is pretty crazy. That some neck muscles right there.

Sorta. He begins a turn, then while still banked cranks the rudder the opposite direction, doing a slip. Pretty common maneuver, but never filmed quite like this. Most of the time you'll see it on crosswind landings and it looks like the plane is flying at some funny angle (aka not parallel to the runway) toward…

this looks like something straight out of 1914, not 2014. I say that in the best way possible, cuz it looks damn cool in that retro future way. Put a big gun on it and you'd have a Warhammer 40k tank.

i find it amazing that GM was able to get 19mpg combined out of that giant honking motor. My little turbo 2.3L gets 19/21/25 mpg, and its "only" 7 years old!

Get someone you trust enough with your money to buy it for you locally. I trust most of my friends with that kind of thing, even those who aren't that close, but YMMV. Have them make the call with a script (more like list of questions/concerns) you've written, or get yourself a skype number with a 510/408/925 area…

My intro to stick went something like this... Saturn Sunfire (i think?) -> S2000 (!) -> POS beater lessons -> NSX (!!!) -> Mazdaspeed 6 ( my current car). Up until driving the speed6 off the lot I had maybe two hours (rounding generously up) of driving stick under my belt. Yes, a rich family friend was nice/dumb…

You sir win the day.

I think you pretty much missed the entire point of the interview. The scientist (Caroll) is pointing out all the things that need to be overcome in order for it to happen. Other scientists will look at this and go forward and try to overcome those things. There's no hubris involved at all. There's no guarantee…

Solar roadways seem like the worst idea ever for the reasons stated above, but I could definitely see this on sidewalks and as paving stones. your forces are now an order of magnitude less (assuming no dropped pianos or errant semi's driving on the walkway) and your friction requirements could be met with hexagonal…

Saw this happen once to a civic with 4 people in it. Started on one side of the highway (forgot which side) ended up on the other side of the highway facing backwards after doing a couple spins. Didn't hit anything or anyone, but I bet everyone inside was scared shitless.

Sterling will not go to jail for this, nor will he pay a fine to the government, nor will he be barred from voting or anything like that. He will be fired from employment in an AT WILL employment state, and in doing so will probably make a lot of money because he probably had a contract that will have to be broken in…

If you like a manual mazda 5 then check out the rather bodged together but Mazda endorsed Mazdaspeed5. This is a community college project that worked out rather well I'd say...

This was a "rental" (aka buy used from gamestop, play for a week, then return) for me. I beat it in one weekend, and was glad I didn't buy it. It was fun for those hours, but definitely not something I'd replay.

Alright... these short ass (not to be confused with shortass) cars need to stop. An A3/S3 Avant would look fantastic, unlike this car which looks like the backend got pushed in by an altercation with a semi. Its the same with other compact cars where manufacturers try and squeeze in a trunk lid instead of a 5 door…

Most people who are yelling about "why not have self coiling cords" obviously have no electronics background. Self coiling cords are a waste of space and energy on this scale. If you only need 6 feet of cord there's no point making a reel big enough to handle that short of cord, and if you do make the reel and…

Damn it Mazda... this is the Mazdaspeed 3 everyone wanted and you never made. Here's hoping the new 3's will get Speed3 with AWD.

Nope. The reason is that waze only shows current location (not paths driven) and updates very slowly. If you're trying to follow a random person you're gonna have a pretty hard time doing it without already knowing the route, which kinda defeats the purpose of following the person in the first place.

To add to that, most resort level skiing never exceeds 30-45 degrees for black/double black. I would bet you could find steeper if you looked for it off-piste, but that would be rare, and probably in very short segments.

Did the other car also have mechanical issues? He seemed to pop his chute before Capps.
