Dang… where/when did that happen? Is the driver ok? That’s a 60’s stingray vette right? At least the body made to look like it? Car probably didn’t have seat belts brand new… or at least only lap belts

It's interesting how I've always heard that with airplanes, a shape that LOOKS like it will fly well probably will, but with cars it's kind of the opposite: all these beautiful curved rockets and sleek-looking wedges from the golden age can't hold a candle, aerodynamically, to a loving Prius.

joat mon posted:Whoever built his cage needs a bonus. This is why there are regulations. Proper cage design can do amazing things. This is also why any strip worth racing at will boot you for playing near the limits (braking or lifting early to avoid bumping into the next class). Those regs are written in blood. I know the guy who caused the NMRA to mandate full face helmets. I'm reminded of the pikes peak crash a few years back. The car cartwheeled down the mountain and there's video of it all. The car and cage did their jobs, but the co-driver got pretty badly injured because the regs didn't require a full wrap race seat (IIRC). sharkytm fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Sep 6, 2022 |

I’ve been teaching my son to drive stick and this is what I tell him to do if he’s unsure what gear he’s in. So the car is probably just trying to figure out if it’s in third or fifth is all.

I mean these modern cars you need a stick shaker to tell you when you're going to stall.

my mk1 pickup had the horn shorted through the stick somehow so every time it touched the gate it made little chirping toots, it was like driving a 45HP game of Operation

I punched the steering wheel in my 96 sentra one time and the horn got stuck on. It was pretty funny.

Large Testicles posted:please tell me you had it hooked up to the relay so it honked every time the light blinked Indeed. This goon gets it. He bought the car and swapped the engine but hated doing the wiring. He brought it over to a buddy's place to finish the wiring and basically "ran out of time" and we could "just finish the last few wires ". We dutifully finished the wiring, including wrapping the harness. We also buried a MK2 door buzzer relay in the bottom of his seat, so it played the hat dance whenever the key was on. It was simple enough to unplug the seat harness, but that disabled power and heated seats. His choice! https://youtu.be/JU6BepKUZWE this is the relay in talking about.

shame on an IGA posted:my mk1 pickup had the horn shorted through the stick somehow so every time it touched the gate it made little chirping toots, it was like driving a 45HP game of Operation My mk1 pickup did it whenever I turned left, one of the bearings on the steering column shifted to where it was shorting the horn. Failed at 4am on the tail of the dragon going for a group clean up day. It was hilarious and embarrassing, pulled the wires to the horn once I made it to the meeting point and never throught about it again.
