Did my internship as an engineer at a similar plant in Upstate NY making off-brand butt sandpaper and firm vomit soaking papers. Can confirm size claims, the days that everything shut down and the operators rappelled into the mill to do maintenance were a hoot. And blowdown days too, good times.

Jalopnik needs 900% more Rally Ranger all day. You’re a legend Gary

When my girlfriend and I saw the Bug at ESPR a few years back, these were basically exactly her words when we heard it start up. Keep on keeping on, Raph.

I’ve got a hunch that the majority of the debris is non-ferrous to magnetic solutions are probably out. Also, that would be an unfathomably large magnet. Inverse-square laws and whatnot.

Woah friend, 2015+ 200s are pretty great. I just got my girlfriend into one and the interior punches way above its weight. The 2.4L tigershark is decidedly not bad and the ZF transmission is not annoying. Everything else though, yes.

Bonus footage from the other side!

Our marketing team is always asking me to design shit like this into our new products, it’s maddening. Engineers don’t really handle anything outside of the “sell the best product at the lowest price” sales strategy.

I’ve sat at my desk for the last 3 hours spinning solidworks models and shitposting on Gawker and I’ve done 5 things more objectionable than stroking someone’s ego with Magnums.

I don’t really understand all the people saying “It’s wrong, he got kicked!”. Ya know, because no story of an injury has ever changed, been exaggerated, or just plain been forgotten over the years.

I... I... I can’t hate him.

Tyler, please tell me they pay you more than the moron at Gawker who threw up a half copied CNN article onto their keyboard and attached it to a picture of a German cop? I actually learned new things here. Keep on fighting the good fight, Brother.

Goddamn nailed it. Very high energy.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again,

“Step mom”

Honestly it’s a strategy that I’d like to see used more often, especially in the States where the fans aren’t quite as numerous and roudy(drunk) as the overseas rallies. Any stage I’ve worked that has a well organized, bannered, and ADVERTISED spectator area tends to have far fewer incidental spectators wandering…

American Rally radio operator/marshal here, the answer is yes, keeping spectators off a hot stage is nearly impossible without surrounding the whole thing with a fence. Group B cars were always running so close to the ragged edge of traction and control, similar to Formula 1, that the semi-frequent offs would…

HUMANITY RELEASED TONS OF CO2 INTO THE ATMOSPHERE AND A CENTURY LATER SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL HAPPENS

Ah I see, you’re one of them there smooth guys that hates all my straight edges, brick inspired designs, and Andre the Giant’s hand scaled ergonomics.

Hola fellow engineer. I love big “gotchas” like this one, like dude no shit it’s $700, why are you using and bitching about an 8-track machine in 2016? You and the 50 other people using them all need to pony up the cash to support the company that makes them, all of their suppliers, and the lengthy supply chains…

Failure Is Not an Option was a fantastic read. Simply as a lesson on team leadership alone, it stands tall.
