1) Once you start getting north of the Ohio River, Race tracks are shut down from November to April, so figure 5 out of 12 months, most tracks are sitting idle.

All the stars to you!

Seems kind of silly to have all those axles only to be stopped when you get to a body of water.

...Ehhhh, it could be said that it’s more racist of you to ascribe a vernacular to skin color. White people talk like that too.

I don’t think anybody really knows, but if I was terrorist, I could come up with 40 different ways to attack a bullet train that would be more effective than a drone off the top of my head.

Yeah... my first though was “Um, just load up a 12 gauge with birdshot” too.

Thanks to Hollywood, I don’t have to.

Agreed. They need to replace the retractable hardtop option with a permanent clown shoe option.

No idea... though I’d wager the volume of coolant is a lot smaller than you’d deal with in an ICE car. 

If the condenser is attached to the radiator like they do in ICE cars, it’d absolutely reduce the effectiveness of the radiator, but if you need/want coolant to be cooler than ambient temps, I don’t know of any solutions that’d be better. *shrugs*

Every character that drives a Mustang crashes it.

In my opinion, THOSE are the cars that should be in museums. Cool desirable cars will be preserved or eventually restored by the masses or moneyed enthusiasts because they’re... well... cool and desirable.

You probably think all gasoline is the same because it all has to meet the same minimum standards too, right?

Agreed. I, like everyone else who changes their own oil and shells out the extra money for full synthetic, am not going to buy an unproven brand just because it’s cheaper.

In their defense, I’ve watched a lot of World’s Scariest Police Chases in my day, and people normally don’t spin out the instant they hit spike strips.

Today, trucks are body on frame (Honda Ridgeline notwithstanding) and cars are unibody. The B-pillar plays a much more important role in a unibody vehicle’s structure.

YOU KEEP YOUR FACTS AND NUMBERS OUT OF HERE! WE WANT FREE STUFF!

If a company sucks so hard that a skilled person can’t make a decent life there, why wouldn’t said person just quit and go work somewhere else?

You can pick those up on Craigslist for $7-8k all day long. They even come with a motorcycle bolted to them.
