Correct. It is not like there is not an abundance of technical data available to know exactly what forces the covers and the surrounding pavement would be subjected to.  Even general/ballpark numbers are enough to come up with a factor of safety and then test your solution.

Okay? LOL.

White one has a tube coming out the top.  Expanding foam?

I thought it was a fair question. I mean you’re allowed to talk them down to get the best price, why can’t the purchase go the other way if both parties are happy to seal the deal?

No strawman here, just seeing where this goes.

Interesting point.

So should a dealer be able to mark-up high demand vehicles?

A former co worker had a Gear-Up. He sold it to try something different.  When I went to visit him, I asked if he missed it. He replied, “not as much as my dog.  He’s still pissed.”

The duality of that Twitter handle...  I love it.

Budapest is also way higher on the “see this before you die” scale than Vegas.

But you’ll actually be able to see the race...

Go to Hungary. Nearby camping. Great views from GA patch of grass. Great people. Cheap tickets (comparative).  You can probably go to Hungary and all in be cheaper than going to Vegas.

Right? That was my first thought. Car steering geometry is heavily optimized for going forward, so much so you’re literally on a knife-edge steering wise when going in reverse at high speed.

You shoulda asked Chase about his drift car... 240SX with a Q45 engine.

Not sure. Knowing what I know about city agencies though, a lot of times things get done when they have resources available. Maybe the Wednesday before the race those resources are booking OT for other things like traffic control, etc.

I mean for all he spent on that stuff, he probably could have gotten a nicer trim on his truck.

I’ve been on those bridges on a holiday weekend, they’re packed.  They were put in to get rid of the pedestrian crossings and help with traffic on the Strip.  Personally, I think it is just LVPD not wanting people camped on them or staking out spots for a week prior to the race and also keeping the foot traffic moving…

I own a Tesla and I’m with skeffles here. Adopting a plug standard and leveraging a charging network controlled by a competitor seems like it would be ripe for said competitor to just one day turn off access as he wishes should it suit his whim or for competitive advantage.
