I have a feeling that this is a problem that doesnt need solving or using an electric motor to spin them up just isnt worth the extra weight complications etc. to get a few extra landings on a set of tires.

I’m surprised they last 500 landings.

Methinks you’ve got a lot of people who are confusing “over-engineered” with “overly-complicated”.

The infamous timing set from the Audi 4.2 V8....why?

1983 Mercedes 190E Evo anybody? I mean come on, probably one of the Raddest Vehicles to ever grace A road...I want it!

Speak for yourself. I find him to be a loveable old rude bastard, and I would miss his ridiculousness very much. The world needs clowns, and he doesn’t take himself as seriously as you think he does.

Correct answer, lock thread.

My 2011 F-150 just turned over 292,000 miles so I think I’d stay on that train.

Been there, done that. Still doing it with this little Si. I’ve needed to address the two main problem areas of the 8th Gen, the A/C compressor and the rear struts, but it has been wonderful. I’m starting to grow wary of parking this rolling thief bait at the mall. I don’t want to lose it and nothing on the new car…

This implies that the second the cops shut down their chase, the perp resorts to the speed limit and stopping at reds. From articles I’ve read (since I have no personal experience), this is never the case. The guy just keeps driving crazy, rollers or no rollers in his mirror.

“This isn’t some sort of, some people do it one way, others do it another, situation”

If this guy had exited the vehicle as told, he’d have been arrested for felony gun possession - so like any good felon he ran. No one takes off for expired tags, and the police know this. I agree that once it hit those speeds the cops should have broken it off. But the original sin here is the driver’s attempt to…

Yeah, right? It’s super bizarre to me that this story is framed that it’s not the fault of the man who: was driving 107 mph, fled from law enforcement, running red lights, was a convicted felon with a loaded stolen gun, and had a warrant on him, that the ultimate outcome was that he drove beyond his means and crashed.…

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I feel for the poor box truck driver who has to deal with this. But thankfully a nice big truck and not a minivan full of nuns.

Police chases are a massive risk to the public, a big waste of resources, and frequently a needless escalation of minor crimes. I’m just about the last person to defend cops being needlessly brutal in these types of situations. But I really resent the framing that suggests *ANYBODY ALIVE* thinks that racing away from…

You'd think my wife would stop me, but she's the one who sends me the ads. 😅

Still do! 23 cars, buses, and bikes by my last count. Plus a camper trailer and a Honda Motocompacto.

To be fair, most people with a track record of causing as many accidents as Verstappen has would not be allowed to rent a car at all.

Great attitude you express here.

I’ve always felt that collector cars are linked to popular culture.
