This morning, many Americans woke up fearful, wondering what comes next. The only possible answer: four years of hard fucking work.

At least the Trump avatar looks like him. That Clinton avatar is horrendous. If you were to show someone that picture with no description, I’m not sure they could tell you who it was.

Wait a minute, you’re telling me I have to burn fuel to make power? What sort of crazy talk is this?

It didn’t cause any misfortune, but the first time I cranked the throttle all the way on a motorcycle was an eye-opening experience. Everything feels twice as fast when you first learn to ride. Moved from a little 440 with maybe 40 hp to a 750 with 90 hp. That was a wake up call. Then moved from a shaft drive to a…

I know there’s a lot of energy involved, but that wasn’t nearly as wild as I was expecting. Though it appears the landing zone wasn’t really well set up with a decline to let things settle better. Looks more like a pretty abrupt stop or even second hill that you plow into.

Wait, three teens took four cars? How? Unless after they crashed one they went back for another.

Mr.Clarkson would like a word.

Some of this might have to do with the culture too. If Volvo truly is going Chinese on their market, the Asian countries tend to have different views on footwear. Like how you take your shoes off as soon as you get home or you have a second pair of shoes at the office than what you wear to get there. Kinda makes…

Buy one and put a Viper V10 in it. Then you’ll have a bulletproof engine with the low end torque you’re missing and the badges won’t lie. I wonder if anyone has done that yet...

I think that’s a different kind of attractive. A Charger just looks mean like it wants to take you lunch and your wife and drive off. A Challenger is a little more svelte design with “finesse” if you could call any 60/70s muscle car finesse.

My car with a cam swap. I’d agree.

Probably electronic door poppers, so you hit a button on the fob and it pops the door out so you can grab the edge if I had to guess.

I live next to Stull in Kansas. Have heard plenty of stories and myths about the place, but never really ventured that way myself aside from when I’m passing through to go around the lake for a cruise.

I agree my phrasing of “difficult to implement” isn’t the best, but I would still argue it is somewhat half-baked. Just because I can use the factory equipment of the car to control itself with my own code doesn’t mean that the system I develop will work perfectly in tandem with the existing systems on the car. It’s…

I’m thinking NHTSA wouldn’t be terribly fond (obviously not as they sent the note) of a system that interfaces with the factory safety features of a car through exploitation. It might not be illegal to actually “hack” the system to make it functional (though I think they are debating making it so based on the rash of…

“Difficult to implement” might not have been the best phrasing. What I meant by that was more that it would be near impossible to sell without Honda and Acura’s blessing. Selling a product that “interferes” with the standard safety features in a vehicle is pretty much illegal as far as I know, or at least so close…

But that’s exactly my point. A system that relies on interfering with the native functions of the vehicle is almost guaranteed to not be something you would be able to sell. If it was approved by the manufacturer this could potentially have a shot at being a realistic product, but as it stands now it’s basically…

Yep, that’s totally why he cancelled it, not because it was a half-baked idea that would be difficult to implement or anything like that.

So, Lambo + Ferrari + McLaren + race car chassis? I might be okay with this.

I think the later model years do a better job. I daily an 04 and get 20+ mpg if it’s nothing by highway driving. My commute is about 5 miles across town and 20 miles of highway with lunch in town thrown in for another few miles and I tend to get 18-20 when the weather is warmer, 16-18 when it gets cold. Have never…
