Agreed- and in my mind it's an M5, since you know damn well that's what they were using for all the sequences that mattered. IIRC, that's an S38 for all the engine noise, too.

There's a lot of continuity issues in that sequence since they swapped them around throughout the chase. Body kit& M badge comes & goes, turbo-wheels, etc. I suppose for the purposes of the storyline, it's a 535 since that's the car that they got into in the first place.

19 feet for each foot drop = 19,000 feet for each 1,000 foot drop= ~3.6miles per 1000 foot drop. This is why you're off by a factor of about 5 from everyone else. Right answer is around 125 miles, but very dependent on the variables mentioned.

OK- that might work. 9v battery current into a short is about 3-5Amp. Question is whether the power supply's short circuit protection will kick in and cut the power. So take it for a whirl and let us know what happens.

Focus not needed

The gear shift in the manual rental car you just got. Rare in the US, absolutely beautiful when you see it in person.

The voltage is ignorable; I'd wonder about the "power supply" part of that question. 12 volt battery= fine. A wall wart power supply might not have the current to do this AND could be destroyed by what's effectively a short.

THIS. See post below (or above... dammit, kinja). Combine this with high school dumbassery in front of half the school and you've got mine.

Perfect execution of sliding across the hood of my '94 Corolla, hopping though the window and cranking the ignition with the intent if doing an immediate burnout (aided by bald tires). The mistake? Car was already running.

Or, taking it seriously:

Sears Craftsman 21 HP yard tractor: 513lb, 21 HP, $1399 =34 (dollar-kips/hp)

Hertz rental Mustang is hands-down the best. Drove one from Denver to Moab and back. Dry pavement? Smokey burnout. Wet pavement? Slippery burnout. Dirt road? Gritty burnout. Need some ice from the machine on the other side of motel parking lot? Burnout.... Ice.... Burnout. That was easily the most obnoxious…

Type in "OK maps" to the search in the google maps app. It caches everything in the current view so that you don't need an internet connection to navigate.

This was my exact reaction, too. Inductive charging for small, low voltage devices? Gimmicky, unnecessary, but workable. Inductive charging for a car? Wasteful, expensive and hope grandma doesn't have a pacemaker.

This one was pretty damn weird- it pretty much went everywhere except RTP until 1pm, when it promptly dumped an inch in literally 15 minutes. I went to the Harris Teeter to get olives (because snowed-in=martini's) at 12:55 and by the time I got through the bread and milk crowd at 1:10, it had gone 100% shit-tacular.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. Don't have to worry about machined surfaces, gasket seal, etc since it's going to be bolted to a wall (& never run again), but I'll certainly check out the various media blasting if I can't get good results with some DIY & elbow grease.

Wow. That is pretty narrow niche. Nonetheless, that table looks awesome and something similar is what inspired my project. Just took me awhile to find a engine where the block was a manageable size and the bore was large enough to accommodate a typical bottle.

Hey, what'd you use to clean it? I'm about to get started on a Lotus 907 wine rack. Well, bourbon rack, but you get the idea.

1)Do a google image search on "Donk"

I read that as "Goodwill". I've seen some wild shit at goodwill, but never a rare Merc.
