Obligatory.

I award you internet points for referencing the classic ad campaign.

SURPRISE.

Welcome back Kat! Can’t wait to read more of your articles

Great point - my experience was on a car with modern rubber.

an American TVR

I don’t know if this is still true, but when it came out, the ACR had the most downforce of any production car at something like 1700 lbs. It was the stickiest of the icky.

throttle house did an episode recently with an acr and on its regular tires, not slicks, it ran damn near the same time as a BAC mono on slicks.  the acr is a monster.  too bad its gone. 

My first thoughts on this were:
1. Ryan F9 has a great video on airbags.
2. Why would anyone want to leave airbag deployment to the mercy of someone’s coding skills, GPS connection, and battery level
3. Fuck, I just bought a Klim jacket, I’d rather not support any POS company trying to milk their customers through bogus…

Came here to point out the excellent (as always) FortNine video. I personally am not in the market for an airbag vest, but if I were, it would be a simple tether design.

I have a He-Lite tethered vest. Bought it second-hand (never blown) for $220. Wear it EVERY SINGLE TIME I get on the bikes. The only additional cost so far was buying a couple of additional tethers for my other bikes.

He’s best known for his Japanese cars, but his casting list is incredibly diverse. Some of my favourites:

I was obsessed with Hot Wheels when I was little, but I eventually lost interest as I got older. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I noticed that in the intervening years Hot Wheels had shifted from primarily making a bunch of fictional, cartoony designs that as a kid I never really liked (looking at you…

That took me back to CE101. The biggest concern in this shape is the wood left between the threads of the screws, which is not very much. The boards themselves and those screws are pretty unlikely to break under any load less than a kip (one of my favorite units of measurement). However, the torque at any of those…

Thanks and I’ll try to be around to do more stuff on here, maybe even some race car things.

If Bozi is going to be writing more articles around here I’ll be fucking pumped!

The Kei trucks have also had my eye.  They look perfect for  the actual trips to Lowes or the nursery that I do, and are a blast to drive.
