15 Harrowing days: The Jason Brown Story

Yes, god forbid they desecrate a 40 year old replacement to the dino.

I agree, they should have left it burned out, because nobody should ever do anything interesting with a ferrari.

Right? I’m not sure if we’re marveling at her sudden ascendance, accusing her of cheating, accusing the timers of cheating on her behalf, or shitting on the steeple for being a dumb, contrived, made up event for people who aren’t fast enough to run a normal 5k.

Don’t particularly care, since I never rev my car out. What I want is ALL OF THE TORQUES. If the 1k-4k rpm jump in third gear makes my man-berries tingle, then I don’t care what happens above 70mph.

I click to the next oppo post.

I agree, it logically makes sense. I think it’s just different in the real world when you’re hurtling towards a big snowbank (or line of trees, or cliff) to your right and you have to turn the wheel towards it. That’s where people with no experience or training get in trouble.

I <3 the Newsoms to death (grew up with them) and I’ll fight to the death for Joannna, but I have to agree with you here. The harp is pretty damn pretentious.

You have to remember that the car itself is moving right, though, and usually quite quickly. if the road is quickly moving left of you, the basic instinct of new drivers is to move the wheel left to try to “get back to the road”. They don’t think about the nose vs tail of the car.

You are somebody... as long as you’re in the phonebook.

Nobody would argue that, because none of those things matter.

I will, however, point out that the moon was in a semi-diurnal menstrual phase, which did asymmetrically gravitate the gluons around the nurburgring area, giving VW a huge advantage. I don’t really know that I’d call it cheating so much as “good…

I think many people who don’t understand basic driving dynamics see the wheel as a magical tool which makes the car go in whatever direction they point it. Thus, the car starts to move to the right, and their reaction is “I want to go left, so I turn the wheel to the left”. The idea of “straightening out the car” is…

“Steer into the skid” is what they hammer into you in snow driving- it essentially means if the rear is to the right of the front, turn right. if it’s to the left, turn left.

It’s a way to get people to remember that if the car is moving right but pointing left, steering left won’t make it go that way.

Agreed- but if you’re the best basketball player on the planet, you are fucking hollywood. I don’t mind if you act like it.

haha touche.

“sooner or later, all games turn into Calvinball”

Actually, yes, they are.
