I still can't believe how much Williams pit crew has turned around this year. They were a laughing stock last year.

The best sounding car there for me was a gorgeous little Ferrari 312P Spider. It is, as ever, an amazing place to go. Plus I met Nik Blackhurst and Richard Brunning and got to sit in Binky, it was a good day.

I once forgot to torque my wheels onto my car after doing a brake change. It felt like I was going to die. How does someone not notice the sound loose wheels make?

Just discovered This Old Tony. Basically a super chill dude with great production value loving around in his garage. Highlights include lots of machining, DIY 4-axis CNC welding and great understated humor. If you like AvE you'll surely like this.

When it comes to machining stuff, I generally only understand every 3rd word. But goddamn if I didn't watch those videos. I think thats my stretch goal. Learn fancypants machining techniques.

I feel like at this point some kind of automatic area-denial bollard or kinetic recovery net is going to be cheaper than all these new signs.

They'll spend millions on dumb flashy lights when it would end up cheaper to just re-profile the road down a foot.

That depends on the what's under the road (compacted earth? hard granite bedrock?), how long they'd have to shut down the rail bridge during the process, how much traffic actually flows through there... The bridge itself is plenty loving sturdy and isn't gonna get damaged by those hits, the DOT isn't gonna overhaul the intersection just cause a few dummies can't read the sign. And yes, 100+ over like 5 years is "a few".

100 crashes in 5 years at an intersection is a fuckload.

Point being, if they could have solved the height issue without inordinate cost they probably would have by now. Remember they can't just do the bit under the bridge, they'd have to do a certain amount leading up to it, and there's a cross road on the camera side so they'd have to re-grade that too. Add in moving whatever utilities might run under said streets and it starts adding up to a lot more than putting up fancy signs that dumb people will ignore.

There is that water sign thing that some tunnels use to prevent wrong-way drivers. But this is 11foot8, where they probably don't have the money for that nor the "life-saving" impetus.

It's way cheaper for the town to let retards run into their guard beam (they never even hit the bridge - saves on bridge safety inspections post-crash) repeatedly after warning them a few times, because the retards and their insurance companies pay for that. And yeah sewer lines and railroad bridges are not easily moved and even without either of those, this would likely be a several million dollar construction project. Construction in the middle of a town is not cheap.
