I just saw Ford vs. Ferrari and I’ll nominate that first. Plus the fact that Alex Gurney was in there for his dad and, dad gum it!, he sure sounds like a chip off the old block. I’m sure I missed some other stuff but hey at least I saw the T-70 kit in Petes’ bedroom. I’ll have to go back and see if I can identify all…

Al Haynes just passed. They did a great job with what should have been absolutely unsurvivable odds....

It’s actually a bit of a weird thing though, isn’t it? My habit developed after I worked in a bookstore. Now, whenever I get near a shelf of books, I have to make a decision on whether or not to shelf-read and/or faceout (for bookstores). It’s almost like a nervous tic or OCD for me and sometimes my family catches me…

The possibility for life exists. Easiest way to tell is to take the plant pot and put in a slightly bigger pot which holds a couple of cups of water. Let them soak for a few hours. If the plants roots are still viable and the stalks still are able to uptake, the plants will revive and the cups of water will just about…

Jacks Spicy is still better.

Yeah, I think this is probably going to work against her; whoever is advising her is not doing her any favors. Most people look unfavorably at taxes anyways; to have a sensical tax plan for billionaires is one thing. To turn it into a punitive exercise is another. There are enough millionaires out there that look at…

I think part of the problem is that Warren plan supporters do a terrible job of explaining the concept. If the DNC had a OMB arm that knew how to explain the tax code to the average citizen so they could understand it, people would be more behind it. Good PR would go a long way to getting more people into it. As it…

Part of the problem is that a portion of the audience who know the origin story have big expectations and the other major audience portion have pre-conceived notions since it came from a “video game”. IMHO, these adaptations should never be straight-up adaptations; they should be built as standalone hybrids of the…

Really what Netflix or such should do is pick this up from Sony as a limited series. You can do a great character development series for all the main players in a 6-8 episode series. You could have a better story than what would go in just 2 hours and way more fun with the people as well.

R1.5?

The problem I see that is F1 is locked into a political process which dictates the race schedule. A technical process would mitigate against the schedule being built this way in any event. What they really need is Penske Logistics Management. They probably have something like that already, but who knows who owns that…

Awesome, nice trip too. How long did you have to wait at the border? I always worry about that and bring along a pee bottle....

One could say. that was quick...

As a kids who read Paul Freres’ ‘Sports Car and Competition Driving’, I can understand the appeal of 2 footed driving with an automatic transmission. In it, he notes that ‘Tests which I have carried out show that merely moving the foot from one pedal to the other costs about 2/10th of a second which is added to the…

Some cars have emergency brakes as left hand pedals to the far left where  it’s difficult to use in conjunction with left foot braking anyways. However, even then it’s actually quite a pain trying to disengage the brake at the same time as accelerating up a hill and staying enough on the brake to keep the car from…

I find in these scenarios where a person has limited technical skills that it’s just easier to recommend to them to find a local Fix-it tech style shop and have them make a detailed breakdown of what upgrading an older system would take. Usually, the mere notion of bringing the unit it and the fact that it requires a…

Man, that brings back memories from way back. I used to have (may still buried somewhere) that little black box with red stripes. I’ll have to dig that out....

Shhh. Before they take that away too.

Yup. My accident was at a four-way stop. I was stopped, a Volvo pulled up on my right and stopped. I looked at the guy, he looked at me so I went. 3/4 across, I glanced and saw he was off his brake and accelerating. I yelled, accelerated all at the same time but he got me just right and bent my rear wheel. My body…
