For the same reason race cars use brakes to slow down instead of turning 180 degrees and running the engine the opposite direction. Reaching escape velocity requires a huge amount of fuel (and getting that fuel into orbit requires even more fuel, known as the 'tyranny of the rocket equation'). Instead, this method is…

Orbital mechanics. Would require a very large amount of fuel (or infrequent lineups of other planets you can use as a slingshot—but still, lots of fuel) to break something out of Earth orbit and into a collision orbit with the sun.

As others have mentioned there is a few problems: the energy to move said object to the sun (remember if its orbiting the earth its also orbiting the sun so you have to break orbit and push it "down" to the sun.)

It's because it looks remarkably like an E39 M5. You're welcome.

Having dealt with three Kias in my life, one of them gives you the unholy craps and the other one is a hallucinogenic.

Agreed.

Destino!

Maybe I'm off base here, but the shape of that rear side window is of utmost importance to the overall look the of the 911 for me. That wraparound glass piece just ruins the line, just like it did with the old Targas.

Allan McNish was one of the last drivers whose courage and talent mirrored the drivers from the 50's and 60's. Im so glad he retired as the world champion.

No. It has really lost its way. My neighbour has an 1986 911 turbo, its rwd with no traction control, and an absolute blast. It traded in its hooligan card for a business suit back in the 996 days.

So it isn't listed for 1000, but I bet you could cut a deal with the seller for this Porsche 944. This one isn't running but would make a good project.

I just want one station with 100% ethanol free 93 Octane available in the Austin area. Is that too much to ask?
