The amount of testing required by the automotive industry is staggering. You must be absolutely sure that the combination of motor and trans, suspension, and brakes will perform in every possible circumstance. Now the average person can kind of eyeball it, and say, its okay. 90% of the time that's fine, but automotive…

I'm vorsprung for dur technik.

I can't agree more with your choice for number one. I think I might watch that movie right now.

*looks over glasses* We are idiots you say?

You have never driven one of those "manu-matic" deals have you? You get excited and say "hey, I can shift my own gears on this! cool, just like a manual!" Then you shift once and dreams are shattered, puppies cry, and you put it back into auto, and pretend that "manu-" part of the car doesn't exist. Once you get used…

Gawker, where modern language has degraded down into a mixture of slang and hillbilly grunts.

I couldn't go either. I didn't even know it happened until I just looked it up. I'm more of a casual fan. I'll have to give that movie a watch though.

Agreed. Also this was the last song they ever played live. Sadface.

It's a terrible insulator. Good reflector though.

I came from oppo to point out that your an idiot, but you got that covered, so I'll just watch the train wreck.

Agreed, and also Detroit could use this, also I just really want to be able to go.

this is why they need to perfect the technology that was pioneered by the great inventors over at capri sun. But really, why cant they use a bladder with just a fuel line coming out? No vent would be required. Bladder inside a protective vented box. Fuel goes out, bladder shrinks. This would prevent fuel starvation in…

I love my aluminum hardtail mountain bike, but steel might be a bit heavy. Who knows though, I've never ridden a really good new steel mtb. Also, some scratches are character! At least on a mountainbike.

I'm not a fan of single speeds, but that is beautiful! I don't get the fork though. Is that a suspension fork? Also, we should start a bikelopnik topic from time to time. It sounds like you guys are all roadies, but I still like talking bikes.

Is it bad that I am more interested in the kind of instrumentation that they have on the car?

What if you were to advertise Art, with a piece of art, on a billboard? Is it art, or a billboard? This whole argument is stupid. Art can be and quite often is advertisement, and vice versa. Its completely subjective and the second people try to put objective definitions on it gets real dumb real fast. The people…

everything on that car but the rotor looks brand new. How does this happen?

no man, it's not an urban myth. Those "Oh shit!" problems still happen. Yes extensive testing done, and they do beat the hell out of them before they ever sell to the public, but if a generation is going to have some fatal flaw, its probably going to be the first. With any new advancements, come new processes and new…
