drat, I was wondering why her videos stopped.

I can understand why she waited a year before coming back even for this video, she still sounds really shook up. It's super uncomfortable to listen to her retelling the story, I can't imagine what it must feel like to have lived it.

Wheelchair time really, really changes the way you think about things, at least it certainly did for me. My femur only ended up in six or eight pieces though, and it was completely my fault. Can't imagine dealing with worse for something that was largely out of your control. It's all fun and games till somebody screws up and physics takes over, then it becomes incredibly obvious just how much kinetic energy we nonchalantly throw around on a daily basis. Particularly when you meet something like a tree, that doesn't seem like it should be completely stationary but is very much so.

I wasn't sure how I felt about Hot Rod Garage, but it's growing on me, especially if it means more Road Kill. It is a little odd to have things not go pear shaped or require hood removal though.

V I'd forgotten about that, and now that I think about it they really haven't been hoodless recently it's been more poo poo just doesn't cooperate or they run into other issues. Like rain while driving on almost slicks.

I was looking through some Top Gear videos and on this one I found a comment from some snake oil additive channel claiming that their additive would reduce both CO and CO2 emissions to 0%! Of course I was immediately intrigued by this wonderful product that probably makes <professional>s angry.

quote:

GCORE(GC-X1) is a Green CORE Technology natural base oil, design to blend on every petroleum and mineral based engine oil . GCORE GC-X1 is ECO friendly engine oil additives. Innovative bio-degradable engine oil additives.

GCORE: Protects Engine,Clutch, gearbox and extend the life of Spark Plug and battery. Reduced Emission up to 85%, Increase engine torque by 15%-%30, Increases fuel mileage up to 20-40%, Reduce Maintenance up to 55-400%

It even extends your battery life! And 400% less maintenance? I think I'm sold! :downs:

But what if I'm lazy and don't want to change the oil, can I just occasionally add GCore every now and again? Apparently so, and it must be safe because the smoke doesn't come out! :pseudo:

The kid was 20 and was an idiot for running into the field to yell at him. On the other hand, he loving hit the throttle to scare the kid and killed him. There was a deliberate act on Tony's part that led to that kids death.

he hit the throttle because that's how a winged sprint turns easiest due to the huge stagger they run in the tires

dude in front of Stewart had to really move to avoid the kid, too

never run around a hot dirt track at night is probably the best advice

*insert dumb post about WLAN latency/bitrate that probably doesn't apply here*

Latency always applies since a nanosecond is close enough to a light foot for napkin math, doubled in this case due to it affecting both video and control inputs. It isn't much but it does add up, although video processing and reaction time are probably the major factors for anything within line of sight from near ground level.

That reminds me of Grace Hopper. She would always carry around a bundle of nanoseconds to hand out to people.
