This was one of the best videos I've ever seen and my new favorite piece of automotive journalism. Everything about it was incredible and I enjoyed every second of it.

That bloodhound video was truly astonishing. The amount of R&D and high-quality CNC/milling going into that thing is unreal. I loved the plane demo near the end. I've never seen a 2-seat prop plane perform like that. Check this out..P1 does Laguna Seca in 1:33 with traffic. Still 3 seconds off the 918's record, but I'm guessing could come closer with a closed track. Also not even sure this was a pro driver..sure as hell looks like it though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f00S5I8dGSg

The owner of the car says in the comments that he lent the car to Randy Pobst, and that we can expect videos at Motor Trend soon. The video was of the "lead instructor", the owner uploaded his own lap here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebatx6HzNj0

My wife and I watched F&F 1-6 over a weekend as a sort of terrible movie marathon. We actually ended up really enjoying them, which was disappointing. People don't give them enough credit. Got seriously bummed when Han died. Got even more bummed when Paul Walker actually died. Unrelated, we did another terrible movie marathon where we watched all the Twilight movies. loving terrible, just like we expected. The final movie was kind of fun though, it devolved in to a lovely super hero movie which was refreshing.

Since you watched them back to back, you probably noticed that the first two movies are probably the weakest in the series, and it has for the most part improved movie-by-movie (though 1>2). I like the first one but the method they use to rob the trucks is so WTF! stupid. Just force the driver over at gunpoint or shoot the drat tires, for crying out loud.

Yeah, THAT is the low point for realism in the F&F series.

Yeah, let's reiterate that again. The fuel pump for that thing has more horsepower than most people have in their entire family fleet combined.

Swiss hill-climbing in an M4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7ptqZ3TMVI I last drove Swiss back-roads in a Nissan Note and they were a ton of fun. A closed off Swiss road in a sports car would be fun.

Turns out this is how you actually chase/wrangle bulls in the outback. No seatbelts, face full of branches. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcwFsF31g9M Top Gear did it wrong.

Hello Spaceman posted:Something fun from Ford. I know it's fake, but Imagine being at a place in your life where blind dating seems like a good idea. You've probably gone on several before this one and they were probably all awful. Then you meet this gorgeous girl and you hit it off with her. You leave the coffee shop to go back to her place. For the first time in a long while, things are looking up. You can't believe your good fortune. Then she pulls into a parking lot, does donuts, gets out and goes, "Surprise! I wasn't really interested in you at all! I just wanted to film an advertisement for this car!" Cue the Chris Farley coffee rage scene.
