Yea, while nobody was looking top-level Formula D cars became incredibly potent racing machines. Contrary to what you might think, they actually generate insane amounts of grip (more grip = faster drift). They are so grippy and powerful now that, with proper brakes and chassis tuning, they could absolutely spank most…
Not as many as there are Black Labs who have been named “Charles Barkley”
Oh, everyone who builds one of these things would love to make them pretty at first. Trouble is that they get the cars done to “good enough” spec and then they take it for a test drive... and then another one... and then another one after that...
Hahaha, a billion stars for this.
Rookie mistake. Next time show up dressed like this:
“The macro issue is that we have imported 3rd world problems to the US for far too long.”
Big respect for MCM, but I would rate Hot Rod Magazine’s Roadkill series more highly as a spiritual successor to Top Gear. This is especially true when you consider Roadkill as a distinctly American interpretation of the Top Gear formula:
Fuckin seriously. LeBlanc is more interesting, better looking, and a way better driver than Evans could ever hope to be. Evans was already going to struggle for charm against Chris Harris, who is actually fucking hilarious and has just never worked in a format that could show it. Having LeBlanc on top of that is just…
Uhh, I think the suggestion isn’t to spend huge amounts of resources to help people get to the caucus. That’s ridiculous. The reasonable thing would be to do away with the caucus and let people vote from their own homes using, say, a mobile phone or internet connection.
So, the idea is you take a slim, small camera and bolt a chunky grip onto it in order to make your small camera... bigger?
“Way beyond stupid to do this sort of stuff on open, unrestricted roads.”
What was the temperature of the road surface when the snow first started to come down? You’ll often see elevated road temperatures in more southern parts of the USA that still get snow. Even on a cloudy winter day, the road will frequently be warm enough to melt that first quarter inch or so of snow. More snow falls…
Err, you’ve got that backwards. You lose efficiency as you scale them down, not up. That’s a big part of why small VTOL concepts like the Air Mule have struggled for so long. Big is what you want in a ducted fan. General Electric, Rolls Royce, and Pratt & Whitney aren’t continuously making their flagship ducted fan…
+1 Just look at the iPhone. Steve Jobs was a huge dick, but he would never publicly talk the talk before he had successfully walked the walk. Even after the first iPhone was released, he didn’t start doing victory laps until the App Store was gaining momentum and market dominance was firmly in hand.
Gotta disagree, Sampson had this coming. It’s CES, not Sampson’s livingroom. Sampson has, very publicly, been confident to the point of smugness that boarders on outright arrogance. To be so absurdly cock-sure while having absolutely nothing of substance to present warrants a third-degree public pantsing.
+1, just look at Elon Musk. He can be a pretty smug dick these days, but at least he’s earned it. You didn’t hear this kind of bleating out of him back when he was struggling with the Tesla Roadster. He took his lumps, learned a whole lot, and within a decade had churned out a world-beating, S-Class-whipping,…
Jesus, +1 to that. The guy has the audacity to call himself a “car guy” right in the middle of acting smug about how easy it will be to produce a product that is “merely better than everyone else”.
Right the hell on. That was the thought that instantly popped into my head upon seeing this thing:
“with new head”
Uhh, care to explain how that’s true? I haven’t heard of a single tuning outfit making significant gains on any turbo engine with an integrated exhaust mani. Late series K-model Honda engines have it and the only way tuners make more power with them is by swapping to the older style cylinder head and external exhaust…
