I don’t think these are in the same used price bracket at all. Every s2000 I see is 10 years older and the same price, which, to me, does not make it equivalent.

I actually have lots of pity for these sorts of people. That guy just had one ten second interval of profound stupidity. I think it “could happen” to more of us than we realize.

They don’t compare to this, and I’m sure NASCAR might have similar situations, but the F1 “Box box box, do the opposite of <current competitor>“ often results in some interesting moments.

Except, it isn’t even priced to compete with a midrange luxury box. You’re not just trading gadgets for cachet, you’re paying a massive premium for it.

Those rods are almost certainly more likely to fail than parking sensors.

I don’t know much about racing, and even I can tell that that GT3 driver is not experienced. And, even if he is “experienced,” he certainly isn’t any good.

I think that was his point, “me with no experience could beat someone with tons of experience because of how awesome my car is.”

Four ten Euro crêpes? Sounds awesome to me!

I would change my master if I remembered it!

I want to play MW2 online so badly. But alas, I suspect it’s still hacked/exploited to complete uselessness.

The wheel has an insane amount of inertia, and therefore actually resists rotating about its head tube. But yes, I’d imagine any steering mistakes would be disastrous. And actually drag typically goes up with velocity squared. But yes, I agree, drag wouldn’t feel like it is slowing you down nearly enough.

250 mph?! That’s insane! On a bike can you even gently touch the brake at that speed without crashing, or do you have to wait till drag (relatively quickly) scrubs off some speed?

The speed limit was 30 kph, or 18 mph. You could be going 50 mph in a camry and stop in that time. This guy was just driving obscenely fast.

“Which means that your seatbelts likely aren’t strong enough for the G-forces induced,”

If you think you need to get rid of the bacteria in your stomach, go on an antibiotic for a bit and see what it does for your gut! Took me weeks to truly recover the last time I went on an antibiotic.

When the new Boston Garden was being built, Fleet Bank and Shawmut Bank were in a fierce bidding war for the naming rights. Shawmut won! Unbeknownst to the bidders, Shawmut and Fleet were about to merge, so it ended up being named the Fleet Center after all.

How much faster could have American Pharoah run? it looked like to my completely untrained eye that he had the entire race in the bag, and didn’t give it any gas until the final straight. For the entire race prior to that, it seemed like when any horse gained on him he just gave it a tiny bit more to keep them away. I…

I don’t actually agree with a lifetime ban, but the idea is tempting to me. Honestly, a mistake where a kid decides to drive too fast, or do a stupid burnout and ends up wrecking, or is doing some other ridiculous stuff is much more “reasonable” to me. You can “beat” that out of a kid. This was just pure, utter,…

That’s actually why I bought new. For the 15% I’d save off of a brand new car, it didn’t seem worth it to get something that had 3 years and 40,000 miles of someone else’s abuse. Interest rates of course factored in too.

Why would you order this option? No one who is even close to over the legal limit is driving my car. I could see a fleet vehicle having it, but for me this makes no sense as an option for a personal car. (If it were mandatory, that’s a different story.)
