I love how it looks to have just been dry-stack. Probably just brittle with age.

No clue why but watching stuff like this is cathartic.

Did not expect it to do nearly anything it did, except load cars.

Also, Buick doesn't hold back on testing their wagons, load up 100lb bags of CHEMICALS and hit the track.

Even in a manual that'll start without brakes being applied I'm still doing it out of habit for the most part.

You don't need to hold the brakes to start an auto either, just to shift from park. That's still strange that you'd get that far. Also what's the best way to do this?

Certainly a one way move. I like how they self prevented from leaving the scene of an accident. I'm docking two points for not fully Austin Powersing between the two beams.

um excuse me posted:

I mean a billboard racer like the on in the video with the huge billboard will actually apply more pressure to the inner tire at higher speed. The larger the oval, the smaller the billboard for both low resistance but also because less surface area is required to keep the inner tires planted.

Billboard oval cars are hilarious examples of bludgeoning tech to make it work. They are easily the fastest cars there.

I'm just happy my first reaction "why does that car have a whole rear end billboard on it" was actually the right terminology.

You guys have car friends?

I chat with car neighbor but I don't let it get too spicy since I know we don't agree on a lot.

And my two past car coworkers I know don't agree either.

drat I made myself sad.

The latest video makes me feel a little proud that I sprayed sound deadening on despite having no roof.

That and he has an industry he is exposing who clearly are not happy with him airing all their dirty secrets. A 2 second attack on a high end lock with the actual attack method going back to 1934 is present today and unfixed? That was dumbfounding.

I am adding some combs to my shopping list though.

I've always been a big body Ford fan (Galaxy and Fairlane 500) and this is just insane.
I am in love.

Wow! The details on that car really make it. I like the louvers and door handles especially. I'm a big fan that he put an FE motor in it too.
