Great read, thank you and welcome back.

I’m usually in the “Let the chips fall where they may” boat (get it? because it’s a boat, GET IT? HA!) but let’s be reasonable here, the boat was never going to be called Boaty McBoatface. This way at least it leaves a fitting tribute to a man that inspired a whole generation of conservationists. Kudos for keeping O’l…

Np just for the fact it’s an 82 trans am that hasn’t been hacked up into a haf baked Knight Rider replicar.

Granted my country’s tipping culture is much diferent than the US’s (Tipping is only used in recognition of excelent service, barely anyone expects tips).

Reluctant NP because subaru powered tincan of death.

It’s most unfortunate that today’s racing rules tend to smother inventive design along with the abuses they are meant to control. I fear we will never see another Chaparral.

True, the guy looks like a fucking norse god, so, you know... on principle, fuck that guy. j/k

The more funky and flawed the racecar, the cooler in my eyes.

So this “Windbreaker” spots an incoming threat and “breaks wind” right in it’s face? I had a college roommate who did that.

As a new rider thinking about starting to bring my wife along on longer rides, that is my worst nightmare. Great reflexes, but that could have taken a turn for the worst just as easily. A butt clenching moment if i ever saw one.

They need insurance and a municipal permit for the driver. They cannot drive on most roads outside the city. At least in my country.

They have everything from turbodiesel engines to A/C, airbags, rearview cameras, infotainment systems, even tiny cute “racing” wheels. These are not cheap, they cost around the same as a fully optioned toyota aygo.

There are quite a few of these in Portugal, usualy owned by eldrely people who have lost their licence and need something to scoot around town in, ocasionally finding themselves on the wrong lane(as in direction of travel) of a busy highway. Hence the nick-name “mata-velhos” or “elderly killers” aka “papa-reformas”or…

Oh America, don’t ever change!

Video not available in my country... thanks FOX.

Maybe not from a “good” to an “excelent”, but no one wants to bury a loved one because they went with a “poor”. Sorry for being so dark, but that’s why i would never buy a car with less than a 4 star safety rating.

yes, this! a tiny displacement camless engine making ridiculous power per liter while sailing through any and all emission requirements, present and future. Now that i would call both revolutionary and “a substantial contribution toward opening up new market segments.”.

That is glorious!

All the stars, you get all the stars.

I think the lady is the real hero here, she clearly didn’t have any training, but instead of popping off a few rounds into god knows where she made alot of noise and made everyone pause for a moment. That moment was all it took for everyone involved to think to themselves “what the hell am i doing?”.
