When you have kids, you really need to stop doing stupid stuff in life.

People experiencing what is likely the scariest thing they have ever experienced are not super reliable witnesses. You’ve got a torn-apart engine that made a really loud noise and around the same time an explosive decompression of the cabin. Under those circumstances I imagine most people would describe it as having…

That’s another important aspect of what makes a “good” series: talented drivers who can overcome the limitations of their equipment and still do well. One thinks of Nuvolari beating the Auto-Unions.

Agree...

Condolences to everyone involved, this situation sucks.

How do you do hand brake turns then? Girls love hand brake turns.

Lets drop a tool box in it and see what happens!

Also looks like a 2+2, one of the ZX “4 seaters”, although having legs (on a person over, say, 5 years old) rendered the rear seat pretty much unuseable. I had a 80 ZX, which I absolutely loved to drive. So much fun. Eventually, the race to fix the rust got old about the same time our first-born was scheduled to…

Fuck this guy. I am a two-time loser (which is nothing to be proud of), and while the hardest thing I have ever done, bar none, is give up alcohol forever, I did it and have been sober for more than seven years.

“May we all live in a world where none of these planes are necessary any longer, and may they all be retired long before their time is due.”

Back in the late 70's my brother friend had one of these in blue. Seemed to always be working on it and rarely was it on the street. Looked nice though.

Under 12 seconds is when you start needing equipment other than factory seat belts

People never believe me when I say there is an art to crashing, but here it is. It’s half luck and half skill, but you need both to make it out unscathed. If you don’t believe me, listen to Davison downshift as he’s spinning. That’s not someone holding on for dear life, that’s someone who is actively trying to gain…

Yes, you can sometimes have four reverses.

This death spiral is a long time coming though. HD has focused on its core brand and image to the detriment of future survival. I ride a Buell, so I have to venture into HD dealers for parts. I also grew up with a father who had a Fat Boy as well as his S2 Thunderbolt and spent many weekends at HOG meetings.

Why are trains not autonomous yet?

TBH, this isn’t enough data. We just need more runs on a more controlled surface.

That doesn’t hold water when the ABS is not activated. Tires all locked up negating any theoretical advantage of engine braking.

I think carrying more speed into 9 should make for more action. I think 7 and 8 were likely to be kind of a parade. So, I think this is probably a good change.

Never compete with crazy. They will always win no matter how much better your equipment is.
