Damn, I was hoping this was a story about Renault 16's... wonders off slightly disappointed.

The thing is they had already gone to sleep, it’s not like you have to pump in enough to knock them out from a conscious state. They are already asleep, you just need enough that they are not going to wake up as you pull a ring off a finger. I have to imagine that is a far lower level of gas than is needed to knock…

It’s the telegraph, that’s a UK newspaper. In the UK an RV is a caravan.

I thought in car cameras were banned at the Nürburgring, did they change the rules back again, or is this footage from a camera that someone snuck onto the track?

Cool the first man made cat... and already 3 lives down 6 to go.

My thought exactly... looks more like the first vanity mirror.

Nope, no thank you. Reminds me of the fingerprint scanners that hardly anyone uses, but so many laptops are equipped with. My personal default was skepticism, until its proven. A colleague though thought that’s a cool feature I am going to use it. Then he went in the clean room to work, oh shoot I can’t log in with…

My first was the demo example, stupid loud pipes... second thought was flashing headlights. A colleague actually insisted that they are standard issue on a Goldwing, and they are so common I was not gonna stick my neck out to say he was wrong.

As others have said, ease of play. When I am learning a track or a new game I tend to use that view. Once I have gotten better at the game, or at a track I like to switch to cockpit view as I like to make it more realistic, and add that extra challenge. Driving sims always have an issue of lack of real feedback, and…

The Kia versus Mercedes Benz, argument, at least in terms of how you put it, is not really relevant. They both meet the same standards, and a cheep helmet and an expensive helmet both meet the same standards. The difference in price comes down to other things. The standards are a bare minimum, that they have to meet.…

I have to imagine that a dirt bike is a little different than a street bike. I know dirt can be as hard if not harder than asphalt, but also it might not be.

When I lived in Germany I bought an Arai RX7-XX helmet, it’s too old to continue to use it (15yo now) but it is the best fitting helmet I have ever owned, and I love Arai quality. I had previously owned and Arai helmet here in the US, and am currently shopping for a new one now. My old US Arai helmet fit ok, but the…

I’ve always heard NEVER plead guilty, always at least try to fight it, the worst that will happen is that you will get what you would have gotten had you pleaded guilty. Makes sense to me, but every experience I have had in court has resulted in the later. First ticket I got in which I pleaded Not Guilty, the clerk…

“When you visit, it’s easy to forget such a vibrant place was the setting of such a horrible disaster.”

This just keeps pissing me off more and more. When I first heard about this, I was upset that of all places it had to happen it was in the US. Not at all surprised it happened here, totally predictable, just disappointing. Slightly more upset that it made it through Canada, without incident but did not make it off the…

I remember taking my car in for service, the old dealership had gone under, the company that bought it did not last long. When I bought my car they included vouchers for free service for 1 year. As they told me up front they want me to keep coming buy and if I trade the car in and they have a consistent service record…

Thanks for the link, very informative, but it only serves to prove my point. A point I was hoping I was wrong about.

Couldn't agree more! Even if it is the effect of a telephoto lens, ANYONE on a motorized craft ought to be well clear of anyplace swimmers are. He is clearly closer to shore than they are so that means other swimmers could be directly underneath him. A tragic accident just waiting to happen. It’s thoughtless dicks…

I grew up in Montana during the 70’s and 80’s. I remember as a child during the 70’s some massive sonic booms. Would never see anything, but at times it felt like it was doing a flyby. Not sure when they banned supersonic flights over land, but I do remember that in the 80’s and 90’s I never once heard a sonic boom.

Or you can just power your vehicle with Natural Gas, which a lot of trucking companies are already doing. It is clean, and you do not have the added expense of extracting it from what ever it is bound to. Lithium may rarely be found in pure form, but H2 is never found in pure form, thus it will always have the added…
