Also, Engine swap gone horribly, horribly wrong

Racing always produces interesting failures.

I’ll just leave this here and show myself out...

As a Toffee Fan, I approve of this comment. Also.... Six Degrees of Deulofeu?! Surely, you can’t be serious!

“Barcelona included a buy-back option when they sold Deulofeu to Everton, and there’s every chance they’ll utilize it given how good he’s been.”

Cost / Quality / Time. You get to pick 2... guess which one is never picked.

Oh sure...the 5 figure cost of the driveline is not lost, but make no mistake; Labor / Shipping / Human costs often times quickly and violently eclipse the cost of the components. So... depending on how vertically integrated Tesla is (where money is just slushed around various buckets), it still amounts to a…

Its not a $2 wire anymore is it? :)

Please. #7 Is a complete joke. Rally America is broken. The previous 2! generations of car would have walked away from the competition with the same consistency. That car would have been in a dog fight anywhere else in the world.

I’ll keep it short and sweet. Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business. When opportunity knocks, you don’t want to be driving to a maternity hospital or sitting in some phony-baloney church. Or synagogue

That’s a Toyota door (looks like mid-nineties as it closely resembles my celica doors). The area that was crumpled isn’t a structural member / safety component. There is a big steel bar that is your main protection...

Hey, everybody, remember when Ken Block used to take Rally seriously? Yeah, me neither.

There is a little bit of an upfront hit from the NRE (Non recurring Engineering), you are mostly looking at the effects of a little something called, “The economies of scale”

I couldn’t agree more.... Professional Rally in the US is completely absent / broken... I think we have had one golden year in the past 5 where you had Higgins, Block, and L’Estage running a full schedule... FY is doing amazing things, all things considered but they (high end privateering) also do not have any real…

Stadium bans are a thing across the pond... I feel like this would be the proverbial cherry on the shit sundae this mouth breather is going to be enjoying over the next weeks....

I’ll give you the Supra and MR2 when very tastefully augmented. The NSX, yes. The Fairlady.... you can keep that car all day - never been a fan. I’m surprised you referenced it as it also has a bit of a catfish thing going on. We’ll just have to agree to disagree on the aesthetic appeal and curves of the GT-Four (and…

You just need to know where to look...

India to Germany is like Mexico to the USA. Bosch for example has *Armies* of Indians doing all the bullshit gruntwork that would be too expensive to do in Germany or that the Germans don’t want to do. While you are not wrong in your statements - I think you’d be surprised how much German “Engineering” is actually an…

“We are facing a long trudge and a lot of hard work, and will only be able to make progress in steps, and there will be setbacks.”
