Used them today, was glad to have them. Visibility was brutal, dropping to 50 feet in spots, cars popping into existence out of nowhere fully realised and travelling at speed. Thankfully everyone driving nice and slow...

Bingo. No joke.

>There are facilities ready to go across the US that can host the games adequately with no need for new construction

That’s a notoriously horrible commuter train. High speed is like this:

Yeah, ok. It’s not supposed to hit things either.

I felt pretty weird one day after trying to skate a park in Nevada in 114 degree cloudless weather. Did some research about the effects of heat on the body. Seem to remember discovering that if your skull gets over 105 brain damage starts... 120+ That’s seriously nuts. Your blood is full on coolant at that point!

Hypersonic isn’t a synonym for really-fast. As others have pointed out it has a very specific meaning, and is very misleading in an otherwise good piece.

>the forests services use to clear out undergrowth, dried leaves and the like

I’m not big on ogling gruesomeness, but the physics of this look nuts. So, the straight line energy of the cop was turned into the spinning of the other car instead of exploding it if it just hit square, fascinating when put like that. Makes her surviving make much more sense. I was tripping on that red blob that…

At the end of the day, she had right of way. Because idiots exist, that’s how it has to work. Could she have seen the cop coming? Who knows... He was going so fast that it’s hard to say, perception gets weird (like standing on train tracks, then whoa! how’d that get here so fast? try it, it’s exciting!) and a lot of…

That shit look civilized to you?

Dear bigbooty,

If you’re truly curious about the subject you could start here.

WTF? This is completely absurd. As in ‘wrong’. Factually incorrect. Bullshit.

Oblivion. Best robot sounds ever. (after r2)

That’s fucked up. Looks like Gawker has lit itself on fire and is taking down jalopnik with it. Very sad.

Glorious. I love how he carries on sideways on the side of a mountain all casual; ‘Whoops, missed it! Oh, well. [pegs throttle and steers into it] la, la, la, oh look, it’s the road again! excellent!’

I think you are correct it’s a funny projection, but also think that it is in fact a little ugly and wide and weird. In a good way. In a brutish, piggish, ‘Aaargh’ kind of way. I think you’re right, people will like it.

Absolutely. ‘Ford of Europe’ is (was?) a completely different thing, building totally different cars all on their own. In all but name the Escort is a British car, oddly enough... (yeah, I know you all know this!) Also has a lot to do with the difference between American and European roads. Big American boats don’t do…
