Isn't this just scenario-specific training for humanitarian drops?

Always remember: It's all fun and games until someone calls the cops.

Audi will stay in LMP, and will be joined by Ferrari, and probably Lotus, again, when they get their shit together. LMP will be doing better than ever, while F1 will continue being an autocratic circus with huge TV money. If LMP can restructure under a single body and come up with a stable and viable group of events…

I've said it before - someone needs to come up with reliability surveys + current roadtests on used cars going years back to get a reasonably accurate used car rating. The problem, of course, is lack of reliability data for older cars - if a repair is off warranty, nobody knows about it. Maybe there should be a…

This is all very interesting, but I like Ferrari returning to LMP1 rumors better. Maybe Audi will leave just as Ferrari comes back.

So Ben Hur and Herbie and Days of Thunder get in but nothing...NOTHING from the Cannonball Run franchise? No Death Race 2000? No Talladega Nights? All business and no funny bone (except Herbie, I guess, sort of) here. Well if we're only doing serious movies, Senna had some crazy-good footage.

Decent running car that probably has another 200k+ miles in it? Less than $2k? = NP. This is how god intended the used car market to be.

It's electric. No way that motor is stock to the cart, it would burn out trying to convert that much juice at once (or maybe not, hell, I don't know). I guess that 10% non-stock was the motor.

Absolutely agreed. If you want over 10k, you've got to have it looking better than that. This looks priced to "get out of it what I have sunk into it." That never works.

It's not a choice between one and the other. You're right about everything you wrote, but none of that makes the surveillance capacity itself, whether or not it's regularly used, pretty damned creepy.

"...and is considered the highest level of auto racing in the world."

An internet wizard, you are.

OH HELL YEAH!! Airbrush it with a wizard-fighting-a-dragon on one side, and Taarna from Heavy Metal on the other side, and sign me up.

"Regardless of the ship's survivability...."

True dat. Plus, this article was awesome, just like all Tyler's are. Clickbait is an ugly term, and maybe I shouldn't have used it, but the title hewed very close to the silly weight-loss, speeding-ticket,"dermatologists-hate so-and-so click here to see why" type of titles you see on a lot of side-bar referred…

One weird old tip to spy on the Russian Navy!

You're absolutely right. My 5th grade daughter just finished a reading comprehension exercise where the object was to find the main idea of the passage. That's what a headline is supposed to express, as well. The Russian Navy's 'hatred' of the ship was one the topics of the passage, but the main idea was the…

I'm sorry, which car are you talking about?

Seems kind of strange that only the guys in the white shirts ended up on the ground covering up, although the fact that guys walked away on both sides with bloody faces makes me think this wasn't completely staged. Semi-staged? Or maybe they just fight until all of one side is down?

This isn't old-basic-running-car w/registration issues ($1000-$1500), this is someone's half-baked project basic-car w/registration issues ($0 - $1,000). The fact that he has it registered non-op b/c he didn't want to keep paying insurance "for nothing" but then swears it runs fine is enough to keep me away.
