BTW, a rudder is not really needed. A lot of tandems have them because maintaining a straight line is harder in a longer boat. Solo boats usually don’t have a rudder. Some have skegs but most have nothing. Steering is done with the paddle by dragging it in the water or back paddling. Given that you were in tandems…

As a kayaker I am a little (OK, a lot) jealous.

Not sure what to make of this wanker. His actions indicate that A) he’s never driven on the street or B) he’s never driven on a drag strip. Had he driven on a drag strip he would know how you drive in one place you do not drive the same way at the other. The proof of that is the nose of that Camaro buried in a fence.…

One of the early attempts (mid 50's ?) at vertical take-off and landing aircraft. Called the flying bedpost, or something similar. Think of it as a predecessor of the V22 Osprey.

IMHO, pre-sales. By people paying for a game in advance the developer already has money in hand before the game is released and the buyers realizing a game sucks. As opposed to no pre-sales where the developer has the revenue at sales and people realize the game sucks. The game still sucks but with pre-sales it’s…

Norway has a democratic socalistic government. Socialism demands that resources are allocated where there is a need. Compare that to American capitalism and the “I paid for it therefore it’s mine.” Socialism leans towards “WE paid for it therefore it’s ours.” However the US does have a socalistic health care system.…

Black Flag is a very good info outlet. Therein lies the problem. I expected better than a article about what, in essence, is a depiction of a group of talented young drivers, as being the equivalent of a boy band. (Think Justin Bieber.) Was my ...disgust (?) misplaced? Possibly. Black Flag reports, not make, the news…

Sorry to hear you're a Boys to Men fan.

Agreed. Of the 3 Bush the Elder would be the lesser of evils. Yes, no doubt about the other 2.

Oh, please Stef! I enjoy Black Flag, Jalopnik and a couple of others but this is just... adolescent. The last thing I want to read about on a racing site is about a bunch of “boy toys” or whatever instead of racing, or tracks, or drivers, or teams, or sponsors, or car, or industry news. I would even go for a piece of…

I'm holding out for Bush. Either one will do but hopefully Bush the Younger.

No cows were hurt during the making of this video.

One of the biggest reasons I love rally racing is that it’s (almost) real world cars on (definitely) real world roads. Another reason is: NASCAR and rain- race rescheduled. F1 and snow- you’re kidding. MOTO GP racing outside your front door- nope. (Unless you live on Isle of Man) Rally and rain and snow at night. I’ll…

Police in Houston are using a reflective paint on the sides of unmarked cars. The word “POLICE” doesn’t stand out until you’re right on top of the vehicle. During daylight hours it’s very hard to see. Even at night it’s difficult. The really tricky part, the last HPD vehicle I saw with this was a 2016 Camaro SS. Crown…

At least buy American. Smith & Wesson. Fuck Arnold. H&K second rate guns and a second rate actor. Exactly what I would expect from someone who puts their opinion before law. Sorry if I hurt your little feelings. Now, get back in your Rambler and go away.

My statement is supported by the drivers manual and corresponding legislative act of every state. Every, as in all states, territories and the District of Columbia. In other words (just for you because you seem incapable of understanding law or sentences longer than 5 words) it's the law. It's the law. 3 words. Deal…

When used responsibly motorcycles, and bicycles, are very efficient was of commuting. And recreation. Bicycles have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles. It’s in you state drivers manual. Every states drivers manual has a part, even if it’s only a couple of lines, that states exactly the same. If…

To clarify the wording “parking lots at Texas...). I should have said “parking garages” or “parking structures”. Something to clarify that this is multi-level parking. Usually close to full for patients, family, visitors, at TMC. BTW, they also charge. $$

A lot of people do. And the parking lot is still overflowing.

Yup, and they are using only 1 lane. Just like a car or motorcycle. Like it says: Same rules, Same road, SAME RIGHTS. Your personal interpretation is irrelevant.
