Basically... can a plane take off if the wheels are in blocks? A conveyor/treadmill moving fast enough so that the plane stayed stationary would be no different, you’re effectively using the rolling resistance as a brake. The answer is, if you have a powerful enough prop to push enough air over the wings with no…

I believe he is using 4 of these:

Pounds are never mass. “Slugs” are the english unit of mass.

Screw the haters, I love this thing. It’s ridiculous, in a good way. A range rover convertible coupe? AWD and Diesel? If this isn’t Jalopnik in car form... well, I don’t know.

In all honesty... why does this look stupid? I see a lot of comments saying this looks stupid... the whole article is about how it looks stupid. It looks like a tailored black jumpsuit? I mean, jumpsuits are in. I know people who just wear jumpsuits out and get tons of compliments (guys and girls, though mostly…

WTF was this? In a from-the-factory alpha no less? Glad they changed it before the US release. Ick.

Depends on how many lanes of traffic we're cutting 2 feet off of.

And we can replace that extra two feet per lane with bicycle lanes. Everyone wins!

I have a question about the deadline that I'm not seeing anywhere. Is the deadline Monday (the 25th) night at midnight eastern time, or is the deadline "get it in before monday"?

I cycle nearly every day, and I do rolling stops at most red lights. If a car is coming, I don't go through it. But I don't blast through lights , and I don't go through any more reds than I'd jaywalk if I were walking. I'm in NYC, half the time people are already jay walking when I get to an intersection.

The big…

The exposed blue carbon goes nicely with the brown leather and the dark-blue stitching on the seats. Of course the jewel of the cabin is the platinum-coated dancing elephant, which was originally designed by Ettore's brother Rembrandt and was the hood ornament of the Type 41.

The way the metal is stamped, too, just couldn't exist nowadays. The texturing in the door, and in the tailgate, are the result of a giant metal machine going KA-CHUNK and spitting out a beautifully embossed surface. Nowadays doors have to have silly things like "airbags" and "safety," precluding their manufacture out…

Maybe a deltawing tie in with Nissan?

Those roads are hardly impassable. If he had to abandon it because of a dusting of snow there was probably something already wrong with the car that lead to the fire.

That's why Ford denounced that statement saying "We do not track our customers. No data is transmitted from the vehicle without the customer's express consent."

We're so close!

They load the head unit up with all sorts of technology crap (such as USB, iPod support, bluetooth, LCD screens) but then they saddle the stereo down with 50 cent paper cone speakers that date back to the mid-70's. I would much prefer a simple head unit with at least a real coaxial speaker in the door.

The lighting is too bright and no one sets the exposure lower on their phones (or they can't) so most of the photo is correctly exposed but the car is overexposed. Car lighting for photography is very difficult. The setups for professional photos are art in themselves.

Maybe they are functional?

If anything, the car in the photo on TMZ is red (you can see a red bumper), and was most likely the Carrera GT, not the GT3 RS... but, you know, that doesn't really matter. RIP
