Hypnolobster posted:From the comments I was reading BMW's magazine that someone left at work and they said the proper technique if you're taking a blind turn too fast and something happens to be in your way, just slam the brakes and steer around using ABS. Seemed like a fine technique to me.

eggyolk posted:Could he have saved it if he'd kept on the gas just enough to prevent hydrolock until the tow truck arrived? Considering the intakes are on the top of the car and all. He probably could have stayed on the gas and glided across the water like a hydrofoil with all that horsepower. Then again, all the downforce would act against him. Quick, someone do a free body diagram!

Matlock posted:That video, and the Jalopnik article it spun from, are terrible. It's akin to a piano player bemoaning electric keyboards instead of learning how to use them as well. An artist, no matter the medium, needs to not blame the instrument. What I got out of the video is that new drivers won't be able to handle a car at the limit, which means they'll crash in an emergency. However, new cars keep you from getting to the limit in the first place, so a new driver won't need those skills. Now, in a racing application, that's different. Is argument wasn't that new cars make bad racers, though, but that new cars make bad drivers. I don't believe that.

Boat posted:Quite the understatement. Shouldn't they like, you know, test for that sort of thing? Or is everything just "the computer simulation says this will work so go ahead and make it and put it on a track" nowadays? I'm assuming that the factor of safety is extremely low on race cars. Higher factor of safety = more weight. Something as simple as a small dent from a rock that was kicked up could have put the part over the edge.

However, what happens if you enter a corner covered with this stuff while drifting? What would the sudden change of grip do to the car?

hippynerd posted:I remember the time my baby sitters (when I was like 5 years old) face hit the windshield in a low speed impact (2 cars making left turns in an intersection). She said said she didnt want her dress to get wrinkled, and did not put her seatbelt on, and her face put a crack in the windshield of my moms corvair. That happened to me once. Well, not the dress part. Didn't feel a thing, then or later.

Pretty Cool Name posted:How is driving at night with those huge touch screens? It must wreck your night visions unless it dims down to nothing, and then you can't use it. I stuck a newish VW OEM touchscreen into my older car and I don't have a problem with it at night. It dims when the lights are on, plus I can set the brightness manually in the menus, plus it dims when I dim the interior lights. I personally like using the touchscreen as it can convey a ton of information efficiently and lets me get around the 8 GB or so of music I have on my SD card pretty quickly. It switches displays depending on SD card, CD, AUX, or radio, so you aren't stuck with a single button doing multiple things. What makes it usable in a car is that the unit still has physical buttons for volume and skip tracks and mute. Anything you'd want to do while driving, you can do it without looking. Or by using the steering wheel controls.

mykel posted:So what's the alternative? Say "I'm not a pussy" and pay for a new front bumper every time you go over a speed bump? The alternative is not to modify your car to the point where it's undrivable on the street. To be fair, it's more understandable than the people who do the same thing (though slightly faster) in their SUVs on a street near my house. I take my car over the "speed humps" at 30 mph (the speed limit) while they will take one wheel at a time at 15 mph. Uthor fucked around with this message at 21:46 on Feb 17, 2013 |
