If this wasn't a fixie (it sure looks like one to me, and the difficulty in emergency stopping fits the incident) then my rant becomes irrelevant. Oh well.

I've got no problems with bicyclists in general, but I make an exception to those idiots who think they can ride a fixie / fixed gear in traffic.

I've played this game for hours and hours. And yes, at times with a keyboard too because I wanted a quick bit of racing without hooking up the force feedback wheel.

Richard Burns Rally, from 2004, is a rally driving simulator. You can drive the car using a keyboard. You can not drive at anywhere near realistic stage times using a keyboard. Steering, brakes and throttle require analogue input, just as driving a race car in real life.

Careful examination shows that they are two separate shots, taken from almost the same viewpoint. Upper right corner for instance, where the rubber "hair" lines up with the red line in the background in one shot, but not in the other.

Little goof-up: the supposed front wheel has exactly the same damage as the rear. So he didn't post the correct photo. Not that it makes a damn difference.

I think you are confusing a blow off valve with a waste gate. Those two are not the same.

Ah, you beat me to it. (Porsche in Gulf livery posted 4 minutes after you posted)

If you could have your car in a racing livery from the factory, one of the classiest — and only — choices you should make is the Martini livery. And now Porsche is offering that very livery on 911s. Holy guacamole, Green Lantern!

I dunno, given that TT stands for Tourist Trophy, with the RAC Tourist Trophy held first in 1905. (Little detail: It was won in 1934 and 1935 by Brits driving a Riley TT Sprite.)

Here's a Jalopnik Helpful Hint: if you're going to hop into a golf cart, don't crash it. Because it will not end well for you. Your throat will be impaled on a steering wheel, you'll probably snap your neck, and you'll definitely have a face full of glass pebbles. But watching the tests is awesome.

Sorry, you don't seem to get my point. I personally have no problem with the video. I agree with the points you make as well.

You know, a bit of a warning would have been nice.

Both are perfectly possible, I guess.

A tank slapper, in a car, is when the rear steps out and the car slaps the tank (read: the rear quarter) into, oh, a tree, or in this case probably a stone wall. Or maybe both.

The first time I mis-timed a jump in Mirror's Edge, and fell a high rise worth of height to to a virtual death...

On a proverbial side note, any idea when you'll put up a second installmentof Project Overspray? Kinda curious how that diamond in the rough is being cut.

Hang on... that's Mythbusters Intern (Mythtern) Jessi, also co-presenting Overhaulin' ? (and more, but that's not aired on Dutch TV)

Wind and solar (and some hydro) electricity generation doesn't really take into account when energy demand is high or low. The sun and cloud coverage will not cater to peak electricity demand. The wind will not be considerate either. So using surplus electricity when nature gives it to you free would be a nice way to…
