What a roller coaster with the Alfieri. I has just gotten my first job and was drooling over the Alfieri when I first saw it and planning to try to save up to get one. Then I find out it’s delayed. Then they announce it won’t have the snarly sounding V8 that the concept car had and would only come with V6s. Then they…

Like many have said in the comments, I don’t really see doing actual part design work in VR.  That being said, I’m still surprised it’s not more present in the CAD world and I think it would be great to see and review parts in VR.  For all the stuff VR has promised, CAD integration seems like it has really been…

I’m not really sure I understand how you could possibly classify someone that doesn’t work consistent hours as anything but contract labor. My mom used to do proofreading for a company that consisted of just showing up at the office whenever you had time to pick up whatever papers you wanted to proofread. If these…

Honestly, the Vette is probably the better all around car and the most “practical” high performance 2 seat car I think you can buy.  Not to mention it’s likely the best performance to dollar ratio out there.  That being said, I enjoy driving the Viper a lot more.  My dad had a regular C7 for a while and I drove it a…

Entirely possible, though I thought I heard him say something about it being only one of two drift Vipers.  I thought the original might have been a gen 3, but maybe not.  This one is a gen 4, but appears to have a gen 3 engine, at least from the valve covers and intake.

Where have you heard they are unreliable?  I’ve got 124,000+ miles on mine with very little issues.  I know people bag on Dodge all the time for it, but the Viper is really a totally different car for them.

Of all the cars that have been made into drift cars, professional Formula Drift driver Dean Kearney’s Dodge Viper is probably one of the coolest.

My brother has had two Dakota, one first gen and one second.  His first gen is a 94 and he had a 2001 second get that he finally sold.  It was a pretty solid truck.  Never really had any major issues with it.  The only real repair I remember doing in his decade or so of ownership was the blower motor smoked the wires…

Man, just when you think it’s done it keeps going.

I don’t think the teeth are really that weird, the lips on the other hand, they are a bit odd.

“glaring” problem, lol.  Nice pun, even if unintended.

It’s not just visibility too, it could be the flat out lack of lines.  The highways around me at least appear to be poured one lane at a time with a nice big seam in the middle.  It’s asphalt, so it blends together okay initially, but that’s where it starts failing a few years down the road.  The lanes themselves are…

So, would it be possible to use the controllers with a Rift headset, in Steam games at least?  Or do the two not play nice together?

Oh...that’s quite the point you make.  Definitely set up for some heel-toe though as close together as they are.

I mean, the open blades don’t actually bother me all that much as 1. they are plastic, and 2. they are on a low powered motor.  What does bother me is why you would put it right where your knuckles are going to be regularly.

My somewhat “easy” solution to this is to just leave my phone in my pocket. It’s much harder to get out over a seatbelt, so I’m far less likely to try to dig it out to do something. The minute you leave it in a cupholder in ready access you are dooming yourself.

An open fan blade right next to the shifter where your hand will be?  I like your style.  You obvious live for danger.

I’m more surprised by there being a Challenger over in Japan, lol.

I have a Power Rangers game for the Game Gear.  It’s been forever since I played it.  Don’t remember if I ever beat it, though I had a Game Genie too, so I probably did through cheats if nothing else.

The other trick with airplanes is they are in a much more controlled environment, at least in theory.  The airspace is very well monitored by other people and you have lanes and speeds that you have to keep pretty strictly.  Sure, you might say we have lanes and speeds on highways, but you don’t have to ask permission…
