Yes, the answer is not to prevent the unforeseeable, but to protect against the expected.  Parts/cars will at some point break or crash.  Put judges and spectators behind a catch fence.  Move on.

It is not a federal crime, per say. Section 203(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act prohibits tampering with emissions controls and gives the EPA power to come after you with civil penalties. They fine you and if you don’t pay you get sued and lose and then owe more money. And while sure, they are more concerned with people…

To be fair to batteries, the leaf pack’s weight is nearly half packaging, electronics, and wiring. Of course, you have to have wiring and electronics, but it’s just an example of poor packaging that makes 300 lbs of batteries packaged in a 600 lb pack. However, it would be easy to cut up, as inside the shell is 48…

If it doesn’t have a clutch a gears, it’s not teaching you how to ride a bike. Perfect beginner bikes have always existed. Learn to ride on the dirt. Sure you can learn on the street, but as an avid rider, the street will kill you on a 1000cc monster or a scooter. But, riding dirt can hone a lot of skills with 100x…

Don’t let people tell you what you can do. When I was 18 I decided my z31's semitraling arms were shit and stuffed z32 multi link rear suspension in it with a Sawzall, hf grinder and Hobart welder. Then did a roll cage my self. Then I cut most of the body structure out and built a tube frame inside the body. Just get…

Here is a crazy idea, if some steals the keys, maybe take the battery out or drag it in the shop?

You don’t NEED to go faster than 85. You don’t NEED to go faster than 55. You don’t NEED more than 100HP. You don’t NEED cars at all. In fact, if everyone never left their home we would decrease vehicle related death 100% and save a ton of money on roads and infrastructure.  You could limit speed.  You could limit…

Actually Elon Musk has a Honorary Doctorate in Engineering & Technology from Yale. So, yeah... clearly he does not deserver the HONOR of being called an engineer, right?

Well, I think Honda would have to first make the civic black bird, before suzuki could make the swift Hayabusa edition. 

Im with you. First time I was on a harley, I scraped the hell out of it making my first left hand intersection turn. Really gives the feeling of, I must go slow and easy because this bitch can’t turn to save it’s life. People that say you cant drag a knee on it must be the ones with 2 inch wide chicken strips on thier…

The point is not being able to avoid a moose at 60mph. The point is making a car that remains in control when a driver makes an agressive maneuver at high speed. Most common people over react and put in overly agressive input to avoid a collision. If this leads to a spin or roll over in 2020, something is wrong with…

10-15 2x4s,2 2x8s, and a box of nails/screws. 75 US dollars in normal lumber costs, but since covid, figure 100-120.  Mills slowed down expecting building to slow down, but it didn’t and shortages have driven up lumber costs.

I must be that extremely rare customer. Last vehicle I bought was like that, but alsoI told sales guy to start the paperwork while I’m driving there, I dont want to be in a dealership 10 minutes, let alone hours.  Still took like 45 min to do the deal, blah.  Just let me click buy it now and leave.

Ahhh, that is sad. S52 with a blower and 270hp? My buddy had a s54 m roadster back in the day with Dinan intake, exhaust, and ecu flash. It was good for about 320 at the wheels and a 12.9 et in the 1/4, which was pretty damn quick in 2002 or 2003. He also had a mkiv supra, but the m was great at surprising people, you…

Because most aftermarket carbon parts are fiberglass with a layer of carbon on top for looks.  They also likely weigh the same or more than the thin steel stock part.

I don’t know, as I make twice that and didnt finish college. Although, my employer has a internship program and I would have to think after they graduate they make at least that.

I have bought 2 previous rental cars. Got a great deal on 2008 titan that was 1 year old with 20k and kept it 10 years and 120k until it was totaled and I got a good price from total, insurance not catching the rental/fleet history.

I have a 20 year old HF floor jack, engine hoist, jack stands, vice, etc that still work great after years of heavy use and abuse.  Now, had some sub par welds crack on a engine stand that I had to weld up, but all in all... there is plenty of stuff that is adequate and even decent.

But the sailors would need to eat a lot more iron!

If trying to talk about the age old power vs torque debate escalated to “I hope you die” that quick... I’ll bet telling you to calm down will get me a dead puppy shipped to my house.
