Watched the video. Man, Bow Duke looks different than I remember him. Also, expected a Charger.

Impressive. But wow that looks so slow compared to F1, particularly eau rouge! I guess I’ve never seen normal cars on that course, now that I think of it.

Interesting video, but as it relates to normal driving (as opposed to autocross or track), my personal experience just doesn’t back it up.

Allow me to translate (I’m a lawyer). This has nothing to do with the owners. This is a class-action suit, which means that a lawyer who specializes in class-actions brought this case on behalf of all owners, who were then provided with an opportunity to opt out (which you’d only do if you wanted the right to…

I have one (but not with the good wheels), and have owned it for about five years. In my opinion, it’s a really good looking version of a really average car. It has respectable pickup, but I could not care less, as it’s just generally uninspiring to drive. In particular, the variable-weight steering on my 2010 is…

I wish they had taken a shot from somewhere else on the track. I seems to me that it could just be some noise that has to do with going into that particular banked turn, and hitting the various different seams in the road surface there. Either way, I’m still left feeling like this thing is about as un-NSX as a car…

I think Sergio is right. I think he realizes that if they make a car that looks and sounds good enough to be a Ferrari, and give it a mid-engine layout that — despite being down a couple cylinders or whatever — is still powerful enough not to be embarrassed by 335s and Boxsters, they are going to have a devil of a…

Thanks for the tip. I’ve never replaced the watch battery, but have been on top of the main batteries, which has seemed to do the trick. I can’t believe I’ve not lost them yet — they’re programs from college and even some ported over from my TI-85 that I did while still in high school, so between say 15 and 22 years…

Holy shit, I feel like I’ve never seen a minivan driving less than 20 mph above the speed limit, including down my own, suburban, kid-infested, non-through-street. I have come to the conclusion that, once one has enough kids to need a minivan, and then the indignity of an actual minivan, their outlook on life is…

I know. About five years ago I actually went to buy another TI-86 so I could have one at home and one at the office, and was blown away by how they were actually more expensive than I remembered them being when I was in college (’98-’02). I thought for sure they’d have been cheaper by now. But, now I see — they are…

Very interesting. I was an ME (‘02) and there were definitely some courses where we had to use the basic scientific calculator, but then there were many for which a calculator couldn’t possibly be used to cheat, at least well enough to have that be a worry. For example, my Thermo courses never cared. They only had…

Very touching story. By the way, my dad’s side of the family was from Silesia. Most of my direct lineage left before WWI, but for those that stayed, my family (who, back in the late 70's traced their ancestry with the help of a genealogist over there) was unable to determine who survived WWII, and where they may…

TI-85/86 here. Still have all my old programs too (but, to be honest, I can’t remember what most of them do anymore).

YES! I still have the program I wrote too.

Glad to hear it. I still use my TI-86 to this day (I started with the TI-85, but, in college, it jumped out of my backpack and picked a fight with a sidewalk. It lost.).

Really good article. I look forward to seeing more about this. That would be a serious technical achievement from Mazda if it works as advertised.

No way this sticks. My expectation is that the city ends up holding the bag on this due to their failure to adequately notice the residents about the tax shortage, and the auction (of what I assume was their own property). This would be a really weak set of facts if both the seller and the buyer were private, but…

Damn it that Countach won’t ever stop looking awesome and mean.

Good observation! Mustang = automotive pitbull?

That’s nothing. Right after that, they remotely launched an ICBM from North Korea!
