Exhibit A: Someone who had parents that taught me that the world wasn’t responsible for eliminating the risk in anything I did, that it was up to me to think ahead and understand the possible outcomes of my actions. My parents were an electrical engineer and a mathematician, so I learned to use logic and problem…

Bu there are times when either that is not something that can happen (low traffic) or you can readily anticipate it and be ready. I’ve slowed from ~120 down to 65 for that exact situation, but I was ready for the possibility because of the low traffic volume and high forward visibility. And I’m nowhere near half to…

But An experienced racing driver in, say, a 911 GT3 will OBJECTIVELY be able to react and stop much more quickly than your average driver in an old civic with less than great brakes. So he might have to go 15 to stop in time, where as the other driver could stop on the same distance from 30. Plus the kid in your…

Can we take a minute to think about the braking capabilities and reaction times of the vehicles/drivers those speed limits were designed for, and compare that to the braking capabilities of a Ford GT and the reaction times of the test drivers? Enforcing a number decided upon based on the lowest common denominator cars…

The last time I went to the Denver auto show I test drove one of the new F-150s (they literally pay you to do it, its great. Plus someone else is paying for the tires so....... you get the drift, I bet.) and as we were driving, the salesman was explaining a bunch of the new interior features (a B-pillar that could…

Sure, people have the freedom to exercise their own personal taste on how their car looks and drives, and even if they do things I don’t disagree with, I still support their ability to do that.

I only came here because the title pic had a 911 in it... I was disappointed to see no other pictures of air cooled 911s sprinkled throughout :(

I’d like to add an option 4: set balance of performance once. At the beginning of the season. Use it to ensure that the cars have similar power to weight ratios and power distribution. If my team is better at setting up suspension/chassis/aero or has better drivers than another team, we’ve created an advantage, but it…

Additional drag, yo!

Many of my friends and I would gladly work in the auto industry... IF the jobs weren’t in Detroit, Alabama, Tennessee, etc. Any time I’ve spoken to a car manufacturer, the engineering positions open have always been in a location I would never consider moving to. Bring jobs to Colorado, Montana, the Pacific northwest,…

The James May one is incredible

“But I need clearance and a high seating position for all of the off-roading I don’t do!”

I guess they got tired of the E63 being beaten by the RS6...

Most of the kids I did my undergrad with had this idea that they’d design everything from the ground up for each project... But that’s expensive and extremely time-consuming. So finally one of our professors was able to show us the light that there are plenty of available off-the-shelf components that can be readily…

You’ve awoken the sheeple!

Although the loss was much worse than expected, uncertainty about actual losses versus expectations is undoubtedly priced in already. If it’s something you know, it’s priced in.

Growing up in MA and living in CO now, I love going back home because it means that it’s normal to drive fast and going 10 over or less in the left lane is basically unheard of. It’s great. I just wish everyone out west would figure that out.

Relax, Jonesy, you sold me.

My favorite part about these charts are the clear units and axis labels.

“And does not involve football.” Lost it, that’s too good.
