pfft. I rock the Pilot Super Sports in the snow. makes life interesting.

They make a car and limit production and sell out immediately. Maybe they’ll think. hmm, maybe we should make more of these, there seems to be a market for them.

How about lights too? If that guy is waving a flag, he should be able to trigger some flashing yellow lights for a few hundred meters in front of his position.

Many of the cars that ‘also come with AWD’ are the boring, high volume models. I wouldn’t buy an RS now, in a year the dealer markup will be gone, and the second model year will have worked out a lot of the bugs.

The Golf R is the only real competitor. Hot hatch.

None of those are really RS/Focus competitors (No awd, not a hatch, etc.).

Can you link me to the Snowden/Russian links? Other than living there, I hadn’t heard anything. Is Ecuador connected to Russian? Is that why Assange is in Ecuador?

I think this device puts a few thousand volts through the data lines, not the power lines. I’m not sure a fuse on the +5v line would matter.

Did you watch the video? That computer no longer boots.

They still need to build in some automatic penalties into this. Automatic $5k fine for the player and 10k to the team(to get them to discourage this type of action), and automatic sit out a play for the guy who got hit (or maybe an automatic timeout for a third party evaluation and give him a minute to remember what…

bringing back the 3GS!

Nevada, but yes, I could have been describing a large portion of the country.

I just spent 12 hours in a rental car that only had an aux input driving through an area that only had Christian talk radio stations.

Except it’s not a rave? The best part about this year was more live music.

I had a nice chat with couple that had to be in their 70's. You got time.

It’s totally a Maker Faire on steroids. And Hot. And Cold. And Dusty. Oh, and everyone is lit up with lights, and there’s music.

Yeah, it is expensive. $900 would be about the minimum if you can drive there. The good part, is that once you are there, everything is free(except ice and you may not need it).

So so so much more stuff, and changes daily. I re-watched this video and there is only 1 thing that was not ‘in the playa’ - a Dome with triangles of light. My camp had 2 cool light up domes and a bar, fire spinners, big fire effects, etc. and we were 3 blocks from the center ring - the edge of the playa area.

I just returned and I can tell you that this covers maybe 1/100th of the scale of just the stuff that is out in the ‘playa’ area. I you go into the city area, there are a thousand theme camps with lots of other fun things. Also, that crazy octopus thing (el pulpo mecanico) is ultra impressive when it does it’s fire…

Canada, effectively is not all that big. No need to provide internet for some polar bears.
