At lunch with a friend, he went out to put money in the meter and took a couple snaps of something he saw out there.

Awesome if you enjoy being pulled over by the police a lot, I suppose.

Enourmo posted:Enlightening info Hey Enourmo you're really good at explaining mildly complex things in basic enough terms to be useful while still not sounding condescending and at the same time not using too few details to let the truly uninformed get up to speed, I've noticed a couple times where my previous understanding of things went from "It's down to some sort of magic" to knowing considerably more about the actual practical reason because of your breakdowns. Thanks!

Modern seats are indeed a major bummer in a car that's being built to be a racing vehicle, I would much rather die horribly in a minor wreck than break canon Also, that extra quarter ounce of weight from the electric motors powering quality of life upgrades, sad! <eats another double whopper>

Too bad everyone with a Mercedes or Ferrari F1 engine coffee table will finish 2 laps ahead of you (if you even manage to finish the race)

LA has the best variety of daily drivers. Luckily, traffic is almost always jammed enough to snap a pic, this is what I've bumped into in the last week.      Saw these two guys today, a mile apart, wonder if there was a film shoot with a 'bring your classic car' open call or something going on.

On license plate chat: On two cars I saw at the same shop this morning, which specializes in neither of these makes. One may belong in the other thread.

That's a pretty long way to go to invent a horse, but less practical and more stressful to ride.

Did he say the cars are only 1 second slower a lap than the actual cup cars? That's surprising to me.

MrYenko posted:The cup car lap record is only 18.845 seconds, so a full second slower is a pretty significant gap. Ah, that makes sense, I didn't pay attention long enough to catch that figure. That's a huge number on something that short, I was thinking of longer ovals laptimes when I said 'huh' about that.

Yeah, if you hit a small pebble in that it won't immediately kill you at 120mph. Very unrealistic.

I also have to spend 14 hours a weekend putting super greasy Armor All on my tires after spending an additional 30% of my rent to park under a tree, how am I supposed to do that without having my stereo playing Kid Rock at 142 dB?

I'm too much of a control freak about operating machinery that can kill me to even use regular cruise control. I'll drive 1600 miles with my foot on the gas pedal.

I would love if my condo added like 3 of those for the community use. Sometimes you just need too many heavy items to carry them home, and it seems churlish to drive one of your four extremely not-efficient cars 400m to the grocery store.

An 80's F-150 with the 300cu.in. straight six would get pretty close to original performance while having more modern brakes and steering. https://twitter.com/engineswapdepot/status/1718708965171732903

Powershift posted:truckpull pics This is awesome, I remember going to events with my dad that looked just like that in the late 70's, and he 100% was wearing the same plaid shirt as half the dudes pictured here. We were literally the only people wearing hearing protection, and for that I'm eternally grateful.

That's going to be my E92 M3 in 12 years. Venice, CA is full of completely stock time-traveling beauties like that, and half of them are street parked. It's amazing. Speaking of time-traveling beauties... My uncle had this exact truck in 1982. As a 8 year old I remember making fun of him for not wanting to go offroading too far up a wooded dirt path in our development that hadn't been built yet because he didn't want to scratch it up on branches, I'm much more sympathetic to that viewpoint now. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1983-toyota-4x4-pickup-29/

My uncle & his gf at the time who is now my aunt later drove theirs from Minnesota to Alaska and traveled all over the state for a month while camping in the truck in complete wilderness, so it got plenty of the right kind of use. It came from the factory with essentially the same lift & wheels, the tires on this one might be fatter than they ran in 1983 but otherwise this is relatively stock. That red with the graphics is so iconic, I haven't seen one of this era in a long time, and that's living in LA where nothing rusts (I assume these all died of rust in the majority of the states.)

I lived in NYC and I'm here to tell you: The vaunted New York Subway system is rear end. It's better than most of the USA's pisspoor public transport, but it's C-tier or lower compared to almost all of the major cities in Europe.
