Regarding pictures 11 and 12, it looks like you still managed to destroy those "screwdriver-friendly" tabs/slots...
One of my favorite racecar profiles of all time.
What's best about it is the restraint shown in the number of lines used-it's not all "slash here and crease there". And just look at that greenhouse!
It doesn't hurt to have cool/unsual colors, either (yes, I like purple).
Hey guys, you're right about it being a Karma mule. It even says "KARVETTE" in bright blue on the rear bumper.
Sam, you may not have had the chance to drive the Gumpert anyway. It actually was damaged, only on the previous day at Monticello. Indeed, it is the only one stateside...
I don't know if anyone else has yet noticed: the schwingin' driver of the truck is also dispensing silly string out of the window. Check out the left front wheel of the Nissan Versa the final time that car makes an appearance in the clip; the stuff sticks to the car's wheel cover.
@smackela: The video depicts the impact starting somewhere on the rear bumper-it's definitely a tirewall (see car's new paint scheme in picture), which "grabs" the chassis and rotates its left side parallel and into the barrier. Due to the damage to the doors (pressed into the cage), etc., perhaps this was the highest-g point in the crash and the column flexed enough to crush the wheel into the roll structure?
@87CapriceEstate: I get a little prouder with each new story about this that I fixed my throttle cable utilizing a ziptie one month ago.
So, am I missing it? I'm surprised nobody's asked; wtf is that on the fenders?
With the "form follows function" design, my vote goes to the Toyota GT One. [www.blogcdn.com]
@Novaload Misses Murilee: Ah, right. I had heard that before, but I'm 19... so, yeah...
@Ben Wojdyla: Well... that sucks. The other panel gaps look good, again except where the bumper covers meet the fenders/quarters-they don't seem entirely flush (but close, at least).
Is this a preproduction example? The hood looks ajar and the plastic bits don't seem to match up with the steel ones on the outside.
Holy acronym Batman! I only recognize the first two and the last one...
VARA? SCTA? ECTA? NLRC? HELOC?
@LamerX - Reverse donuts on your lawn!: Speaking of reverse... were the burnouts in reverse? (Lights are on)
Also, not a lot of shock rebound on that Jetta-with the second fastest lap? You sure it didn't deserve a penalty?!
Gotta feel for Rubber Biscuit Racing... only 6 minutes? Ouch. Good to see the Escorts running strong.
@85_Grand_National: The interesting thing is that taxpayers have been paying NASCAR sponsorships since 2002 through the Army (though in an arguably more useful manner).
@area_educator: Of course, NACA ducts will work either way, depending on whether the aim is to suck air in or suck air out-based on the picture of the black car it looks like the latter.
@rlj676-Carbon Footprint Size - Clownshoe: I can't figure out what a pound sign prefix indicates.
The Slow-but-Agile and The Furious?
Dangerous, stupid.
