Walking towards moving cars when irritated is not unprecedented. Dont act like this kid is the only person who's ever done this. It's almost part of the ritual to publicly call out dirty driving. It's like hockey fights. Fans get riled up, you have heroes and heels. Drivers in these types of situations expect it, and…
This kind of walking up into the path of cars to make a scene isn't that unprecedented. They're under caution, cars are under control. The difference is here is that the kid didnt think tony would be dumb enough to swerve on him at close range like that, and Tony didnt think the kid would get that close. This type of…
He was trying to threaten and/or spray mud on him. He was just careless about it. I dont see this as a murder conviction, but I dont see how it isnt manslaughter.
That's what the rest of the track is for. Momentary wide open throttle scare tactics are not the same as evasive avoidance manuevers.
BUt you say this as if driver's have never ever ever stopped their cars under caution to continue or instigate some sort of altercation. No it's not a good move from a racing point of view to stop your car and start fist fight, but you better believe it has happened and a fistfight is going to be much less likely to…
Tony was just trying to "get away" from the kid according to some of these village idiots out here.
Running a kid over in a mishandled attempt to prove your penis is larger is okay, but stopping on the track is completely out of the question. Gotcha.
OBviously, you're right, the rules are you dont stop on the track, but Im pretty sure you're not supposed to run over people either.
Dude are you serious? What kind of kool aid are you drinking? I dont for a minute think tony was trying to hurt the kid, but he was obviously trying to scare him. If you want to get away faster you go to he other side of the track. What's a kid going to do to mess with your car that's so scary that you have to…
Steering column plastic shrouding looks like it's straight off an 80's GM car. Looks exactly like my 92 Camaro. Same multi function stalks and everything.
The only thing antique about the leaf springs is the fact that they are leafs. They are no more antique than modern tires, since modern tires are black and round.
Are you sure you're thinking about the right diff? The 70's 10-bolt was an 8.5" ring gear and it's not the best design, but all the parts are bigger and stronger so they're not as notorious for breaking. The 7.5 10-bolts blow all the time. I've got friends (yes plural) who have blown up multiple 10-bolts each. One…
Allegedly the Ford T5 case is much stronger than the GM T5 case. Regardless, teh fox platform is a lot lighter and I think that's the real reason the T5's are not known for being weak sauce in the Mustang circles the way they are in the F-body circles. A 2800lb car is a lot different than a 3400 lb car when it comes…
Most guys who do stuff like this with these swap in LSx platforms and T56's, or they swap in an LT1 type T56 which will bolt to any old school chevy block. I have a 350 with a T56 attached to it.
Have you actually driven one? I have, and I've driven it sideways. I cant imagine an easier car to drive sideways than a third gen Camaro. They're very predictable cars with a lot of inherent versatility as a platform for upgrades.
Those differentials were shrunk down versions of 70s designs and were chosen for F-bodies when the most powerful engine available was 165hp and GM was clawing and grabbing at everyhing they could to get gas mileage down.. They are notoriously weak. S10s are a lot lighter than the average F-body so it's not really a…
Most of us that drive thirdgen Camaros in anything but straight lines tend to do it on road courses and autocross events. There just arent many of us who like drifting as anymore than a novelty and most of the drift crowd doesnt understand how versatile these cars are. I autocross mine and it's VERY easy to make…
The most evil book in the history of mankind? The book that has lead to more genocides and murders than all other books in history? The one that is a bunch of nonsensical fairy tales and magicks that results in deaths? Yeah, I've read it. I dont think too highly of it.
"I told you so" isn't the appropriate response when people are saying don't jump to conclusions. It's like claiming you know a coin flip is going to end in heads, and you say " I told you so" after it lands on heads. It doesn't prove anything. You cant just perpetuate the same old BS stereotypes that every time a man…
I agree with you but that in itself doesn't prove malicious intent. It may just mean that they felt that was the best course of action but they feared it would result in disqualification despite what they felt were legitimate justifications, so they played it safe for Vettel. It's the best theory yet, but you seem to…
I am all for the gays not being discriminated against, but in terms of international relations I can't help but feel that unless the Russians are systematically shipping them to Siberian death camps it's not really any of our business. I cant help but agree wtih you.
