My first car was a Fiat Cinquecento. It was - by a long margin - the worst car I have ever owned. *This* Cinquecento is fun only because every mechanical part has been replaced by something that is Japanese (or is, in some other way, competently engineered) and because racecars don’t need interior trim or a functional

TBH, I’m swithering between either the gearbox or the clutch being lunched first, but it's an interesting empirical question.

I like Doug...he is good people but he also doesn’t take himself too seriously and is exponentially more famous than me...so I can give him a hard time.

When Incineroar leaked long before Sun and Moon came out (along with Decidueye and Primarina) people assumed based on it’s look that it was going to be another Fire/Fighting starter. When it turned out to be Fire/Dark people were psyched.

No published stroke figures so I can’t calculate exactly, but from the car and driver article about the engine: “the piston speeds approach those of a modern Formula 1 engine at around 26 meters per second”, so presumably the valkyrie will use whatever F1 rods are made of. I believe modern F1 engines are around

It’s Astonishingly ugly
