This is a curious monstrosity, as are many SEPs (Somebody Else’s Projects.) It seems well done, and, the parts might very well be more valuable than their sum, if you ever tire of explaining why this thing exists.

Ist Gear: Ford CEO: We can’t make self-driving cars.
I always tip 20%, (but never on the tax.) The people who bring me my food and take away my dirty dishes are doing me a service. And if they had the money I do, they probably wouldn’t be slinging hash at my greasy spoon. It’s honest work and they put up with a lot of jerks just to be there to greet me with a smile when…

Did you bring Jalopnik no joy?
The initial fingering on the video was pretty self-consciously explicit.
Ecce!
a tri-power 428 with an economy final drive? Even a 3.90 shows a lack of commitment to life a quarter mile at a time.
There should be both-sides-ism for obeying traffic laws. I can sometimes feel like giving bike messengers a pass (they struggle through traffic in all weather and are trying to do their jobs) as opposed to “hey-look-at-my-lycra covered ass- I-bet-you-thought-I-was-a-pro” guy leveraging his physical effort into above-th…
Well, this, kind of.
