While the ID.R is no doubt impressive, I still think it’s a long way from being the future of racing.  It’s wildly powerful and quick, but has no range.  Sure, Formula E has range lately, but the speeds and car capabilities aren’t really the same.  You pretty much have to go one way or the other.  I’m not sure it will…

Hopefully they clear coat the bajeezus out of that stuff. Does green still go with red as well?

So, what keeps you from just leaving the garage door shut?  How is anyone going to know that your car is out of commission for more than 24 hours if they don’t see it?

They do drop the 6.4 in the Ram, but I think it might only be the 2500.  One of my friends just traded his old Ram in on a newer one with the 6.4 setup and likes it quite a bit for towing his trailer.

I know exactly what the email of the week is talking about.  Two of the cats in my household have dropped bombs in the litter box that could easily be mistaken for human excrement by size alone.

While we’re at it, please get rid of “rogue like”. That word doesn’t even make much sense in grammatical form.

Isn’t is really just a platformer at its base?  It might have collection and exploration, but you’re really just jumping around on platforms to get places.  Feels like the lowest common denominator.

This was the one I was trying to remember.  Had a former coworker that told me about it once since he was a motorcycle guy growing up.

How long before someone stuff an H2R motor in one of these? Or maybe a turbo Hayabusa setup.

I’d say most thing shy of straight up contact should be much more lenient. I agree that racing is racing and if someone wants to take the risk of darting in front of another car coming up hard behind them and hope they can stop in time, by all means let the drama occur.

Uh, a spark plug is a plasma generator already... It ionizes the gas, making it, you know, plasma.

I’m confused exactly how this is necessary a problem.  The software was used as facial recognition to compare a picture of someone in a post on Facebook to a catalog of booking photos to determine if there was a match.  That’s no different than just comparing fingerprints in a way.  Gender is totally irrelevant in…

It’s a battle as old as time itself: who is the master of American muscle?

David?  Is that really you?  I didn’t recognize you not covered in grease and rust.

My current excuse is my car isn’t running.  I want to wash it very badly, but it spun a rod at the track and isn’t going to get pushed out of the garage into the driveway to get washed since I’d have to push it back.  The coolant down the side from the minor overheating is driving me nuts though.

I think I’m more impressed the tires would put up with that speed.  That’s a mighty tall tire to be turning that fast.

To be very petty, what if you are a lap down?  If you ultimately haven’t run as many laps as the lead car, does everyone a lap down just finish the race in the position they are in?  It would mean you are running a shorter race, though that seems fair.

That makes more sense to me.  I was picturing more like a Jag XK in my head for size, which seemed way too small for that much weight.

I realize that, but it just seems wild to think that a smaller car is that much heavier, especially with modern batteries.  I know how heavy they can be as I design industrial trucks and we’ve been working with EV stuff lately, but that just seems excessive.  Granted I also have a picture in my head of a 2 seat sports…

This really strikes me as strange, though I guess maybe it was still “niche” enough to see why a shop that did everything kinda faded away.  On the one hand I’d say we had equivalent stuff like Mr. Norm’s Dodges and the Baldwin Motion and Yenko cars, but then again I think I only know those names because I like muscle…
