because if we have enough pretty shiny things up front you dont look too closely and see were just a third world country with a world leading military. 

Shoot watch diecast racing from 3Dbotmaker on youtube, it’s insanely fun to watch.

Again, a sport that relies on extreme engineering nuance will never be a “spectacle” like the NFL.

Alonso represented all of us, so bored out of his mind he even had time to watch TV and comment on it while driving at over 200 mph.

Why do Americans add cheerleaders to everything? I do not get it.

Yeah but people have become completely trained to do what technology tells them because that has to correct, right?

I find with older cars that I really don’t need the same parking aids as more modern offerings: the vehicles are smaller, so they’re easier to park, and they have significantly better overall visibility.

Sterling Archer remembers.

Can’t we just watch Ronin?  

“Now that I’m rich, I can pass off all these hookers (& blow) to some poor schmuck workin’ for me! bwhahah!”

yeah - and to me fabrication and metal work is one of those ‘50% art, 50% science’ fields where, if you want the best possible outcome for your car, you farm the work out to someone with the requisite talent and experience.

I haven’t had my morning coffee yet, but as an Engineer, I spent way too long trying to figure out: “Well, what if I want to loosen the bolt???”
