There’s a steering wheel...

That makes sense, I’m just speaking based on what my friends told me while skiing.  I never used one of the apps but I have been clocked with a speed gun and surprised at my actual speed. A friend’s son hit 95 pre-public skiing on DH race skis. If I did that you’d see my track by the brown stain in the snow.....

I don’t know specifically about the GPS issue but I can say the apps are mostly bogus. I have skied with people who reported 75+ mph records by app and then came out for a day with a calibrated speed gun where they were shocked at their speeds coming in at 55-60mph. I’m sure the apps are getting better, especially

Pretty sure the poisoning of Viktor Yushchenko was with Dioxin, not Dioxide.

I think Korea? Maybe.

 One on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere is an acceptable risk to me. Gotta honor Ed Abbey and his measuring distance in consumed six packs

I am thoroughly unsurprised by this. But it is amusing

This is the only reason I clicked

Awesome trip. I never got into the maze because I drove crappy cars and had lame friends. Mostly the crappy car part. I did end up shockingly far down the Poison spring road in a civic once, but nowhere near as far as you guys went.

Your explanations is way better than mine.

Isn’t the top picture just off the road in Utah? Had some fun parties around there. And some long drives trying to get back home before work/school after backpacking trips that took longer than planned

Well accelarometers used to be really expensive until they started going into cars for airbag systems. Then there was a much larger market that could apply pressure to lower prices. And it worked, they got cheaper and better. Now every car has a bunch of them

Hmmmmmmm, Magna you say.....

Very cool. I figured it had to be something like that but couldn’t tell. Even that clarification picture is messing with my perspective a bit

What’s going on with the rear wheel on that first car? I feel like there’s a perspective issue or something

Maybe they are confusing the Bolt and the Volt?

Seriously. It is crazy to see the number of brick shaped vans that passed me while I was doing 90+ mph. 

How about the missing lug nut in the title picture? Unless I’m missing something it looks like 4/5 are there

Whats the issue with standing waves in Baku? I haven’t heard about that before
