I have no doubt that walk-ups have a much, much higher return than internet shoppers. It’s basic math - your typical walk-up will probably visit what, 2 or 3 dealers. Your “well informed” internet shopper will probably email 10 to 12 dealers.

Both buyers are only going to buy one car. That means with all else being…

I’m sure they would love to have open development like F1, but that would almost certainly kill the series in one or two years. For that matter, it’s even killing F1, and even that isn’t true open development.

Unlimited rules mean unlimited budgets, and high costs are the number one killer of racing classes.

Check the framerates how? Say he recorded it at 120fps, but then selectively sped it up to 2x (240fps playback), but then resampled it to 30fps when uploaded to the internet. The final video would show as 30fps, so no matter how you counted, there would be 30 frames in any given second of video. You couldn’t tell if…

In NY at least, what you’re describing is not only legal, but the recommended way to do it. If cars never did that, in some intersections nobody would ever get through. Your technique guarantees at least one car gets through every light cycle.

It wouldn’t be considered running a red light, since you enter the…

The first year I worked as a flagger at Watkins Glen, I was shocked at how different things were when NASCAR was on track. I had spent the whole year watching IMSA cars, Indy Cars, and every possible car club you can think of. Everyone basically drove the track the same way. Sure there were minor differences to the…

lol - you think people would “call ahead” and “tip” for carrying a pet? Nice utopia you’ve got there.

In NY you would still be at fault.  Even if it were a company vehicle, all responsibilities ultimately fall on the driver.

I had a 2013 Abarth for about 5 years until it was totaled. While I certainly had some oddball issues, they were almost all limited to either poor Chrysler electronics (key fob/security issues), or poor dealer support (multiple visits for simple issues). Really as a whole, I was pretty happy with the car.

It’s being…

Mine met it’s end when I was t-boned just about the left rear wheel by a Chevy Traverse going 60mph. The car was very much totaled, but my only injuries were some bruises, muscle stiffness, a ringing in my ear, and rug burns from the airbags.  Yes the impact wasn’t directly where I was sitting, but even a left rear…

The rear brake pedal was banned mostly as a safety thing. The video didn’t really explain what it did very well. It didn’t just apply extra braking to the rear axle, which is something you can already do with existing brake bias controls - it’s that it allowed braking ONE of the rear wheels. This was the main concern,…

No, it’s the race where Michelin brought tires that couldn’t handle the track, and everyone went all stupid, and all but 6 cars quit the race.

50' center-to-center distance between cones.

It’s fun for me to think that my shifter kart would almost certainly destroy them both (in this one element)

Probably just far enough for aero to come into play. My handy reference chart for autocross doesn’t go up far enough in the G’s or MPH range to really get a good estimate, but if we figure the advantage swings the F1 car’s way @ 3G’s cornering, and the F1 car can get enough air at 100mph to do that, then it’s probably…

“open season” on fuel usage will probably never happen. Would lead to too much development, as teams would be trying to develop 2000hp qualifying engines, that then need to be turned down massively for the race.

But they could definitely take a few steps that way, adding something like +20% instant fuel, while keeping…

I’d be really surprised if braking performance changed much one way or another. As you said, they already have more brake power than they need. They also have the capability to have more brake cooling than they need.

Teams right now intentionally downsize the brake ducts to be just above what they anticipate needing.…

lol, can’t be heard from more than 75ft away? Who’s hearing? Are we assuming “standard human ears” (so 1db over background), or are we able to use those giant field mic’s from a football game? What if it’s a particular quiet and still day? On a calm winter night I could easily hear a squirrel walking from 75 feet…

If you didn’t pretend to be running alongside his car, out of breath, and asking him to pull over.... I’m disappointed.

Must vary by the region. I just did the math on a few recent surge fares I had, and they all checked out. I’m in the “Upstate NY” region FWIW 

I’m not quite understanding what you’re looking for. Do you want a screenshot of the surge map (i.e., which places are seeing how much surge), or are you wanting screenshots of the pricing details of particular rides which include a surge?
