A couple of fun stories for this one since I had the same idea. It’s sort of already been done twice now. Devon put up a bid for it back in the gen 4 days and built their two GTX show cars (double fun story, I actually saw one the last time I was in Detroit, just sitting outside a building), and VLF was building the…

Those would be some pretty massive side airbags to reach the driver sitting all the way in the middle.  Can’t all that extra air that’s already there be considered good enough?

Yeah, after looking at some more pictures the rear 3/4 works for me, the front 3/4 I think is the one that originally hung me up.  It’s still just a bit of an odd design, but I think that’s because it’s built for straight line speed, which makes sense.  Though no one is calling this a one trick pony like the Demon…

Mismatched in appearance at least.  I guess what I meant was either put the fans on both or neither.

We can agree to disagree on the looks. I’ve not cared for a lot of McLaren’s latest designs, but I seem to be the odd one out. The mismatched wheels are what really mess this up to me most I think . If they were at least the same front to back I think I could get more behind the design. The 3/4 view isn’t really my…

I’ve been to anime conventions in the past with similar problems.  The hotels actually have people walking around with Febreeze bottles to try to mitigate it..

Carbon fiber has been flexible for years, just look at the front wings on F1 cars or the wings on the Boeing Dreamliner. The only reason it’s normally so stiff is because you have to make it stiff to keep it from over straining and breaking the plastic matrix holding it together. Guessing they probably just found a…

Maybe it’s a way to get a new one with a less scratched screen due to the whole dock thing that was going around when they first came out? Though whether or not that’s worth $100 is up to you.

I would say crunch is more when you are told to stay late vs when you want to stay late. I’ve gotten into some projects where I’ll look up only to realize I’ve been at work an hour later than normal, but that’s just because I was so focused and into it. Sometimes I also just want to finish something before I leave for…

It’s tough, but I think companies set themselves up for it more often than not. Admittedly it’s a double-edged sword, but I think one end is a little less sharp than the other. What I mean by that is companies basically hyping products to the moon and beyond before they are really ready to go. I see this same problem…

I wonder too how this will affect the “obsolescence” of modern cars. In 10 years time if those sensors aren’t available because they just aren’t made anymore, can the cars cope? I realize you can turn many of the systems off, but as they are becoming more and more standard, I wonder if the car would take major issues…

Actually, I think that thing is kinda cool and neat looking.  Totally pointless, but I’d take one as a fancy decoration around my house if I found it at TJ Maxx for $10.

That’s a fair point.  I guess in my mind i kind of think of shows like a book.  You don’t necessarily see an author, so you may not know where they come from, you are just getting one perspective.  For the most part I just gloss over the hosts and never really think about it.  They are just the voices presenting the…

claims the process can add 100 horsepower to your engine.

I’d somewhat jokingly and somewhat seriously say that’s one reason I just don’t care for automatics. I like being in control of what gear I’m in because I also know the conditions and what I might be doing in a few seconds. Like if I’m taking on from one stoplight and coming up on another that’s red but maybe turning…

Very true.

That thing looks like a concept car from the side.  Those wheels just seem huge for the rest of the car.

I guess for the same question, what’s wrong with it not being diverse? Frankly I don’t really care who the hosts are, I just care about the information it presents (though I do care about how the hosts interact, which diversity theoretically shouldn’t affect). If the hosts have chemistry and get along well matters…

When I first saw the picture for this article, I honestly thought someone was writing a review for an old car show.  That VCR “Play” text is just so ingrained in me for old shows.

This just reminds me of back when I used to play roller hockey.  My brother and I both had full bags of sweaty gear after playing a tournament on an asphalt parking lot in 100+ degree heat.  That gear stayed in the car for the next day.  We opened the doors to get in for the second day of the tournament and about fell…
