I'd love to have one of those. Only thing that would make it better is if it had a windshield that folded forward like a jeep.

Its marketed as cheap, not safe. If they made it safer it would cost more. Also Indian traffic is slow.

cool

That is pretty badass but why use a challenger for a speed record? You'd think you'd want something with less drag.

You can see where the head is a separate part from the block on that one, not on the new Nissan.

It is one, look how he's holding it, it doesn't have a crank, and you can't see the head gasket. Those are the most obvious things to me.

Where is the crank in the mock up he's holding? I'd believe he's holding that because it looks like its plastic.

Interesting, I didn't know that people actually went back and doctored the photos.

I'd say its perpetuated by people. I really don't think the media does much to sway people's opinions of career paths. I mean I'd be a hair stylist if I wanted to regardless of the metro sexual stereotype.

A 2jz just wouldn't make sense here:

The Germans weren't allowed a real military, much like Japan now. So to test aircraft engines they put them in racecars. That's part of why Auto Union was such a force back then, its also why a lot of Auto Union cars had Swastikas on them.

Yeah, crazy to think that the Nazis are pretty much responsible for the some of the most amazing cars from that time period because of the treaty of versailles.

Here is an Auto Union for your viewing pleasure

The silver arrows are always amazing. Its crazy how advanced that car was back in its day.

Those old speed record cars like that are huge and make me think of trains.

This is true. I just really like this car and like to post it whenever I can. I feel its pretty jalop worthy.

I feel like they do try but it isn't working. I don't really have any other insight though.

I really doubt that. I mean I didn't become an engineer because I saw a VW ad. I did it because I want to be able to apply "science" for lack of a better term. Also there are a lot of things out there that are set up to attract women to the sciences that you don't see for men. All sorts of women in engineering groups…

The QOTD didn't specify it had to be production did it? I only skimmed it.

I was going to say this. The ad really isn't inaccurate at all.
