The sad thing is that our kids are still being taught that Edison is the “father of the modern electric age.” Fortunately Tesla is finally gaining recognition. His inventions: AC power generation, AC motors, and AC transformers, are what created a usable electric infrastructure. Edison was stuck on DC power, even…

“President Trump’s...well-seasoned anus” is going to haunt me for a long time. Who seasoned it? How? What kind of seasonings were used?

I say LMP1 should be the turbine class. None of this wimpy piston shit, minimum shaft RPM must be 30,000. No fuel restrictions either; afterburners must be allowed and will be enabled via a DRS-type system so following cars aren’t destroyed in flames. As an environmental concession, the turbine can drive a generator…

Or they could do what Harley did with their LiveWire E-Bike and put a bevel gear in the drive train that sounds “like a jet fighter.”

An RCS is being tested for motorcycles by Bosch. It uses cold-gas thrusters to stabilize a bike that’s losing traction while leaned over. I think a hypergolic system like the Space Shuttle used would be a lot more exciting (I love the smell of nitrogen tetroxide), albeit more toxic.

I sugget you watch the IOM racing coverage on Velocity TV. They release episodes from each of the several races throughout the next weeks. It’s my second favorite race series of the year after Le Mans. The natural beauty of the island and the villages and roads they race on and through make the event unique. No race…

This is a “hand made” car, not a “homemade” car. Runge is a professional builder and entrepreneur. Calling his product “homemade “ puts him on par with a guy in a garage turning a VW floorpan into a beach buggy.

You lucky dog. I’ve dreamed of a trip to LeMans since I saw the movie as a kid with my Dad. If you see Vic Elford around the Porsche garages tell him “Sailboat Ken” from Ft. Lauderdale said hi. He was my instructor at Skip Barber, and the only Le Mans driver I’ve had the pleasure to meet.

Any difficulties encountered keeping this car whole would become insignificant every time you saw it in your garage.

In the Spanish-language comics my HS teacher let us read on Fridays, they’d say: “Ja Ja Ja!”

He’s planning to smuggle illicit hair plugs purloined from 3rd-world children.

I heard and read exactly this type of reaction to Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in the ‘80's. Now look at you...using their brilliance and innovation to dis the next generation of people who are changing the future for the better.

This is why we can never have anything nice.

I can’t believe Joe Biden is finally letting this beauty go.

There is no excuse for this. Car manufacturers have had over a century to figure out how to prevent corrosion without it being prohibitively expensive.

I wish I had a few grand to invest in this money-bleeding hot mess. Betting against Grime’s Boyfriend has consistently proven to be a bad idea.

I worked in a gas station when I was in High School. The boss told us to never touch a radiator unless the customer was willing to park and wait till it cooled down. A guy came in with an overheating car and wouldn’t wait. He opened the hood, leaned over the engine, and caught his neck tie in the fan. I watched his…

Ford Motor Company is smarter than they look. They realized they could never match the profit margins they make on SUVs and CUVs, so they cleverly stopped selling cars...BEFORE gas prices went up. Now Ford buyers will have no option other than buying more UVs. They’ve been playing the long game... 

“Hey Cullinan Man!”

Good tip. I have to admit using Lyft as a bail-out in case of car trouble isn’t something I’d thought of.
