Ha! Sorry AJ, but $3k per camera is not realistic. Ok, sure, the camera itself maybe, but not fully installed, powered, securely connected, in a weatherproof and somewhat vandalism-proof enclosure.

Give it some more thought.

A speed camera doesn’t stop the potential for someone to fly down a road.

Given how very inexpensive a lot of electronic products are I am really dubious about that 3.8 billion cost.

Ok everyone, in chorus:

Now, it’s emerged that the harsh realities of reentry mean that Boeing may never truly find out what went wrong with Starliner.

This may be a strange sight for most Americans, but for older Europeans, who grew up seeing Citroën DSes, GSes, SMs,CXes, BXes, Xantias and XMs, height adjusting / self-levelling “hydro-pneumatic” suspension was normal. (Suspension based on hydraulics and spheres with compressed nitrogen.)

I’m not so sure about the guy being a terrible shot.

Now playing

This isn’t doing it for me. Electric motors have a hum that will increase in volume and pitch to a scream. Work with that!

Ugly or beautiful? Art is about more than just that. I mean, I’m a fan of the Nissan R34 GTR. Is it a beautiful car? I don’t think so, but there is a certain brutality to its looks that I really like.

Try regarding this as rolling art. It’s how I see it, a fully functional mechanical sculpture.

I don’t have US$ 80k at hand.

Yes, this positively reeks!

There’s no sound on earth like an engine buzzing like a late F1 V10. Give it a shot, what could it hurt?

Outrage!1 OUTRAGE!!! What the fu...

Please let this is a Prank.

And that’s just the tip of the proverbial ice berg. How the clutch works is just effing black magic! Halfway down the track a top fuel engine is self-igniting the nitromethane-methanol mixture, so it is in fact dieseling. There is so much interesting technical stuff going on.

their exclusion from modern auto racing is a travesty for livery design. Don’t smoke, kids.
