He actually moved? That’s awesome. Here in NZ if you flash your lights, you’re liable to get someone brake-check you or make some obscene gesture. I once had a Subaru wagon driver pull up his handbrake, and nearly roll his car. I can say right now, the woman in the passenger seat gave him hell!... No in NZ if you want…

Well you could build the dyson sphere and then use a wormhole to transport the sun to the centre of it, or you could just build it around a sun that’s already there.

Not sure if it’s this one, but there was a doctor in South Africa who had one and ran it at a top end at Umtentweni south of Durban in 1998... I remember the sound, I remember the squeak of wheelspin each gear change. It was fantastic. It may or may not have had a big turbo on it though ;)

Most extreme fix I know about was my dad who melted a hole in a piston on his 2 cylinder motorcycle. The fix was to pull the engine apart on the side of the road and rolled up bits of aluminium from some cans out the gutter and hammer them into the hole in the piston, and proceeded to ride home like that. Oh he’d also…

Are those 370 000 orders for the Model 3 all Americans? I don’t think it is...

When something that is supposed to be an article on a professional site, makes a stupid error like that, it’s not about feeling better but rather pointing it out so that the writer can quickly correct it before he kills himself in shame.

Maybe a Dyson Sphere or Ringworld is not so much about capturing energy as it is about providing new space to live.

It was a Panamera. They did him a favour.

Typical Audi drivers! (It’s okay, I can say that cos I’m an Audi driver).

With you on that - The reason the autobahns are safe are because of the driver attitude and respect. They know that driving fast is a privilege and so they self-regulate because they know if they didn’t, the privilege could very easily be taken away.

As someone who used to drive everywhere as fast as possible, I disagree that it’s pure luck. Nigel Mansell once got done for reckless driving because of speeding and the judge threw it out of court because he clearly was speeding (they didn’t get a speed reading), but to say that as a race car driver, he didn’t have…

So you mean there’s a chance???!!!! (Of waking up tomorrow with Katy Perry) Edit: Okay, so I misread that. Waking up tomorrow with Katy Perry would be a whole lot better than waking up tomorrow AS Katy Perry)

Zimbabwe can’t afford it.

You mean he did it on purpose?

Will be the electric trucks I reckon.

Yeah, lots of ambiguity in the story - also stuff like saying it will build batteries for 1.5m cars... but I think you meant that as “per year” and not a total figure ;)

Chuck Testa!

B5 S4. ‘nuff said.

It’s not actually a track day. It’s just touristfarting.

Very sad. The challenge of the Nordschleife is that to anyone who doesn’t have much track experience, it is just a race track where they can drive as fast as they like. This is very different to driving on the freeways/autobahns, where the road is designed for the worst possible conditions and the worst possible…
