It was way easier in Microsoft's Space Simulator.

Growing up working a family pear orchard every summer, my brother and I eventually experimented with jumping from the back of a moving tractor. Kind of like Mythbusters meets Jackass. We only got up to ~20MPH before it started hurting too bad to continue, and that was landing on dirt and the occaisional stick. It…

"Your washer fluid is low." ROFL if I had a dollar for everytime I got my traffic report interrupted by that. FFS, did they mount the sensor high in the tank just to show off the shitty voice? Yeah, I got to drive an 86 Nyer turbo to prom. I'm still scarred.

Yeah, everyone knows we just need more offshore drilling.

Beautiful 928. I'd try talking him down to $16k, though.

Wagon+M/T would work out better for me.

@clevemire: :)

I grew up in the 70's and 80's and my dad still used his cupholders for beer, but only on road/camping/skiing trips. He'd never have more than 2 IIRC, and he coincidentally stopped a few years before it was time to tell me how to drink responsibly...

@porschecarreragtmay6: The "onboard fluids" figure dropped by a few ounces shortly after that lap...

I would never buy another used DSM without first completely disassembling it.

@TheDamnedCarWillNotDie: True.

Hey! I like Eurotuner if I need to fly somewhere. I just try not to puke when skipping through the centerfold with "Stretched" tires.

Sweet. How long until we start seeing robot cars getting tickets?

@drift240: What they are saying is there are variables that they can't predict with an equation, like the particular friction between tire and road. Temperature, surface contaminants, texture, and humidity are just a few things that can change the amount of grip the car has. The system learns as it goes, using many…

@LeftlaneBandito: Or some threshold braking, and getting acquainted with traction circles, contact patches, over/understeer, and weight transfer?

Ahh, when the "SC" in NASCAR meant something...

@eaglescout1984: Dark corner, I get it. Not funny ;)

Ahh, when cars were cars and women were women...

@snap_understeer_ftw: rofl...

Nice. As the owner of a DSM I can attest to the first part. Especially the part about being an idiot, as only an idiot buys a used DSM then makes it a daily driver, rallycrosser, and track day hooner and expects it to keep living. I get to play god and give it life every few months or so, but would never give it…
