Standard “this deserves more stars” post.

As a general rule, if you see an unrecognizable racing machine that has a rear wing the size of a couch it is a Pike’s Peak monster. The air is so thin up above 10,000 feet that it is difficult to get any downforce. This means the builders have to employ cartoonishly huge aero surfaces in order to generate adequate…

Well enjoy your cubicle mate. The engineers who get to break away from their desk, run their own companies, and generally make an impact are not particularly mild mannered in my experience. But, hey, YMMV.

No shit. On top of that, if you’ve ever met a highly qualified engineer then you’ll know that:

“The hyperbolic character of his assessment”

Is one of the earliest and surest signs of engineering qualifications. Every talented engineer I’ve ever known speaks about technical subjects, especially quality problems, in a…

“What’s the durability of these coilovers?”

“Mueller is slick af....” 

Pretty much exactly the point I was trying to make. The Fox coilovers and others in their category are nothing special by modern standards, yet they perform absurdly well for how attainable they are. 10 years ago they would have nearly been unobtanium for use on a street car and now you can pick them up for less than…

You know how tire technology got insanely, incredibly good over the last 10-15 years while nobody was paying attention?

Yea, the exact same thing has happened with damper technology. It really is that good. If you ever get the chance, take a ride in a Flyin’ Miata. The Fox Racing shocks they put on those cars is …

“I sincerely hope your DOT has prevented the infestation down south.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gasp* AAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

What is it about American politics that make you assume our standards would be more stringent than Canada’s? What a joke.

I’m a professional “tire guy.” I work as a warehouse manager for one of the…

Bingo! This is the correct take and one that I don’t hear suggested nearly often enough.

Leave all the racist memorials right where they are. Leave the Confederate statues. For example, let’s say it’s a statue of Robert E. Lee. Leave it exactly where it is, just destroy the old plaque and replace it with a new one…

“I say we take his whole crew and walk em 1500 miles in moccasins in the winter and see how many don’t make it.” 

You know what the really crazy part of that is? Wealth inequality is now so fucking lopsided that even the douche-bro making $1.5 million a year off of his privilege is actually worse off than he would be with more equitable wealth distribution.

That’s how fucked the whole thing is. There are a lot of rather wealthy…

“even when you’ve leveled them with a massive revolution Soviet-style, complete with all the rich folks being either dead or fleeing without their property,”

This is not a scenario that is conducive to creating an equitable society. Those in the know and/or in control at the top of the revolution (see: Putin) will…

The new Civic Type R is manual only.

There’s potentially one major difference though. The 5.9 Cummins is great, but it weighs approximately a million billion pounds. It’s actually a pretty bad choice for a Wrangler swap as the combination of weight and length spoil the balance; making the rig want to park itself on its nose with hilariously little…

Add one more to the personally offended list! How is this shit even a question? Attending the royal wedding will be fucking miserable for everyone involved, bride and groom very much included.

The royal wedding will be all pomp and circumstance; all ceremony and formalities. No friendship, no passion, no fun.

Because if New York legalizes then it will be harder for the state to use drug laws to selectively oppress brown people while giving white, affluent folks a free pass.

“The basket building’s handles, which collectively weight 150 tons, are heated during the winter to prevent ice from smashing the skylight’s glass.”

150 TONS!?

As in three hundred thousand pounds!? What the hell are they made out of!? That’s crazy! They aren’t load-bearings structures at all, there’s no reason for…
