To be fair, someone who buys a rig this expensive can probably already afford a nice track car.

Yup. But we love it.

Personally I would rather have this. Don’t get me wrong a track car seems amazingly fun, but for all intents and purposes this would be more practical for the average Joe. Well, as practical as an insanely expensive sim can be for the average Joe I guess.

This thing looks to be a one time purchase. Purchasing a track car is just the beginning of spending money.

Yeah, and then the running costs of that track car would be enormous... a day at the track for an hour and half of track time costs roughly $400 including tires, gasoline, and pads if you’re doing it on cheaper days (not including insurance if you’re into that kind of thing) and cost $600+ if you’re trying to do it on…

I’m with you. I think it’s okay considering that era. It helps that it was, at some point, fitted with a solid steering wheel badge instead of an embossed one, as became common in the nineties with the first wave of driver airbags.

Friend of mine has one. Just autocrossed it and didn’t do too badly, either.

It’s not that bad. I think the reputation of it being bad has far exceeded how bad it actually is for a long time.

I see one every morning in my driveway.

What’s better about this? The fact that someone didn’t Armor All it?

Theoretically these are for sale, but you never see them.

Yeah, he appears to be recovering well after what appears to have been a stroke!

They fall mostly on Kazakstan. Occasionally in Siberia, though most stuff by that time is going fast enough to make it to orbit. And then the rocket mafia steps in. I am not joking. When a rocket launches from Baikonur, rival teams of salvagers await downrange where they believe the rocket parts will fall. (The launch…

Fast fact: the Shuttle actually flew autonomously for almost the entire flight on every mission. The only thing it absolutely required human assistance for was the landing gear lever. Seriously. That’s the only part the computer wasn’t wired into. And that was a philosophical decision, not an engineering one. The…

I’ve seen that said before, Transporter, and it’s rather dubious. First off, it requires an exceptionally narrow view of failure modes — as if the only important thing is to not have these very specific failures. I am sure that had it continued to fly, other failure modes would have appeared. For instance, they…

No components of the Energia rocket were reusable. There were proposals to make it reusable, but none ever came to fruition, like a reusable flyback version of the Zenit strap-on boosters that would’ve landed on a runway. That work gradually evolved into the current proposal for Baikal, a flyback booster to strap onto…

You can’t be serious! Some would argue that the Camry is grounded to the ground.

This gif is just way too hilarious. I mean it looks like as if there were birds flying around they guy’s head.

I'm envious. I would love to have part of a rocket as my front lawn! Take that gnome statues next door!
