The manhole is welded to the steel inner ring. That ring is embedded in the concrete collar that attaches to the shaft. If I read it correctly, I think the welds held but the concrete collar failed.

I think it was the littlemansyndrome tag

I don’t like Mullin but it really seems like O’Brien has #LittleManSyndrome as well.

That’s my hood right there! Its great when I drive home and suddenly I realize its Cruisin’ night and there are a ton of cool cars parked all up and down Van Nuys and cruising the boulevard.

I cannot conceive of owning one of these without having a big shaggy dog in the sidecar.

It’s actually pronounced “Mar-KWAY-nay,” thank you very much.

Even if you get a seat, how much can you really see? That’s why the oval is the superior format for racing. Who wants to fight me?

Some excellent cuisine too, they should market it as such. “Visit Hungary for the F-1 race and you won’t leave hungry!”

Weird, he looks so honest.

I stay on the Strip relatively frequently for work, and you are 110% correct on this one. I barely want to be on those bridges on an average weekend; it’d be absolutely terrifying if you had a few hundred people just standing there trying to watch the race, or trying to sleep there saving a spot.

The Tesla Semi lead image is misleading, I immediately started researching Freightliner Cascadia prices. FWIW a day cab comparable to a Tesla semi runs about $150,000 new.

Hot damn, that’s an interesting photo! We should see photos like this more often! Looks like the 917 is longer... but the point is well-taken regardless. I always wondered what the 914 could have done with a bit more output from the 6-cylinder version. A couple hundred HP in a 914 would have been pretty entertaining.

The cars design only a couple years apart, 

You should see how many truckers have health problems that oughta disqualify them from driving too. You know what would help in this situation?

Injected Big Block Chevy is much more likely than a DFV

This is why I mountain bike and haven’t let my buddies talk me into buying a road bike.

Mountain biking is dangerous, but not “run over by a car” dangerous.

Free drift-mode feature. 

Agreed! I want one but with the current model being popular and slated to end production I am not sure I’ll be ready to buy before they are gone and have to wait for this  supposed replacement.
