When did NASCAR “stock” cars cease being stock? At some point they left that and became spec-cars - same frames, engines, fiberglass body was the only difference.

Listening to that on the road - wow.

Goodwood is on my bucket list.

It used to be that grounding a ship was pretty much a career-ending move for a Naval officer, I have to imagine that grounding on the Arizona memorial has to be on a whole other scale.

I’d seriously ask for my money back.

This Ship Lets You See All The Jalopnik On The Internet.

This...I come here for content like this.

You know a clutch on one of these things costs like $20k, right? When the major mechanical bits (engine/trans/diff/suspension) go, it’s going to be $$$$$$

Impressive, yes. But if you want to see some truly impressive numbers look up the absolute enormous quantities of planes used by the US during WW2. For example almost 13,000 flying fortresses were made alone...

Better than.

It’s a gymnastic move called an L-Sit - on her fingertips, on a (potentially) unstable base. It’s really really difficult.

Does it have an override? What if some road-raging psycho like George Zimmerman is chasing me and I need to crash through a gate to get away? I don’t want to be shot because the car decided I should stop for that chain-link gate.

A competitive all female team would open many eyes to great engineering talent that is often overlooked based on gender. I guess if you’re wanting to be offended that it’s female only then you can start your own team or join the 99.99% of racing teams that are all or mostly male.

All-female team will attract more women; just as valuable as winning. And since there’s no precedent, it could in fact be the best team.

So..... I can pay F800GS money for a 500cc Honda that’s been turned into an adventure bike??!! Sign me up!!

You can’t use that excuse if they have multiple boats and you do risk a nuclear exchange

Having two propellers spinning opposite directions is what counter-rotating means. Having engines turn opposite directions is just a way to bring the total torque felt to 0.

Even that would be impossible, the chain is on the single arm side because all the bracing to sustain the pull from the chain is there, even on a single arm you’d still have to lose a wheel.

Looks like a single sided rear, where the nut/bearing on the end came off, and it pulled the spline out, because the spider is still on the sprocket. How the rider of the cycle managed this, will eventually be an interesting story.

I’ve got to wonder if there was actually a moving motorcycle.
How the hell do you lose a rear sprocket? I can only imagine it on a bike with a single sided swingarm, and even then can’t figure out how that could happen.

He does look like a Homo Sapien! I understand that you being a Neanderthal may be a bit jealous. Sorry...
