Supercharged Corvette (600+ hp) street legal track car (driven on the street), with Carbon brakes. Huge tires. Huge acceleration. It was also the fastest car I've ever been in going from "speed" down TO zero. God damn those brakes were powerful. I never knew what g-forces a car could generate until then. And feeling…
Wow. This got weird. I'm going to have to now agree with this. Although, I don't think it's the bicyclists fault, I would argue that it's a bad policy on the part of the VDOT (or whoever is responsible for that dept.) to have a policy in place that make it okay, and in fact "...not unusual for vehicles to be in the…
Just wanted to point out that the camera was mounted to the bike, so we definitely have no idea where the rider was looking. Hell, even when I view my GoPro footage from being mounted on my bike/moto helmet it's waaay easier to see stuff you missed in real time (albeit a big f-ing car on a tiny bridge is different…
I first started using Swype a few years ago, and loved it. Then tried out SwiftKey, and would bounce back and forth, with SwiftKey becoming my favorite. Now I'm using the Google keyboard. Honestly, I feel like there are a lot more features to the other options, but the Google keyboard predictive text is just better. I…
In high school, I used to do e-brake turns in the back parking lot all the time. I was of course the only kid in the neighborhood responsible enough with a license, and my younger brother and neighbors thought it was awesome to do a 180 before going to park.
I just can't believe how skilled stunt pilots really are. Obviously, the risk involved goes to both pilot and rider, and not that throwing a nice whip off that ramp and landing with precision is an easy feat, but DID YOU SEE HOW THAT DUDE WAS FLYING??!?!?11/? Almost touching the wingtip to the ground, whilst flying at…
I can't believe how fast the Class 19 (UTVs, like Polaris RZR) are now - ~13 hours. They are HEAVILY modified, but still, a very short wheelbase and pretty sketchy. Just a few years ago, hardly any would finish at all. Guess they've figured out how to build and prep them now...
It's now easier to build a 450 mx or enduro bike (i.e. CRF450X) to be faster and more reliable than any of the bigger bore machines (XR650R), considering how f-ing crazy fast these guys are racing nowadays. And I don't mean just top speed, but suspension and chassis-wise, they are going faster through gnarlier…
Oh, I agree, but holy hell, accidents happen. Seems like that's the location with the highest likelihood of an accident happening...
I'm sorry, but who the hell thinks it's even close to being a remotely somewhat sorta kinda good idea to sunbathe on the portion of beach absolutely freakin closest to a damn airport runway? That guy is an idiot.
I forgot about gas cap - which side? Now at least our two main cars have it on the same side. When I used to switch back and forth with my wife's car, it would always screw me up. Seemingly simple...
WHY GOD WHY did Suzuki put it in the glove box on older Vitara SUVs? Other cars it's on the kick panel, or part of the lower dash. Some Ford trucks had it under the steering column. And don't get me started on when they used to be on the OUTSIDE of the car.....
Neutral: Do You Expect To Get EPA Mileage?
Hoonigan viral marketing scheme in action?
I use the starter to start my jeep with the clutch out in 4wd low range if I'm rock crawling and got stuck on a hill or obstacle and stalled the engine. Certainly even in high range, on flat ground, a big gas or diesel engine has enough torque to keep running once started in gear. People shouldn't be leaving keys in…
My wife didn't pull the e brake hard enough one time and get car rolled into my truck. I still can't get her to use the e brake on my now manual car or in her automatic car. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't use the e brake and leave it in gear for safety...
Yep. It's pretty surprising, but luckily, after a few years of getting those looks and being mad about it, I pretty much just laugh and smile now. Then I'll calmly turn to them, smile and shrug, and say "Oh, this? She has autism, and this is a good day! Have yourself a nice day."
I have a kid with autism, and yes, having something to blame would maybe help, but for fuck's sake I just wish the stupid shit that these famous people say about autism (or god, or anything, really) wouldn't garner such attention. There are so many incredibly important things that should be talked about instead.…
It's gotta be the 5 year, 250k mile warranty...although it's funny that the market for the regular Super Duty (and Chevy HD and Dodge Ram HD) is so f'ing ridiculous that people wouldn't be fine with even the lowest rated 270 hp and 675 lb ft of torque. My dad has multiple Ford Super Duty trucks for commercial…
This is such an underrated race. Thank you, Andrew, for posting this. The f**king vintage racers are absolutely amazing. Please, please go look at the actual entries:
