I was watching the Moto2 race on Speed when I saw Shoya Tomizawa's crash. Initially, he looked like he was paralyzed because he couldn't get up, but when I saw his feet move I thought he would be fine. I was wrong, alas he died from his injuries.

@Middleswine: I want one, but I know I'll end up saying "Hey check this out!" as I overdo an endo and see if I can support 600 lbs with my neck.

Still kinda want one though...

@pj134: I'll only get one if I end up moving out west to Nevada or Utah or somewhere where the is open desert. I live in NJ and there are way, way, way too many people on the road good and bad that a Motorcycle is just an accident waiting to happen. I rode BMX and Mountain bikes for years growing up and always wanted to progress to a motorcycle. My dad's mechanic rode street bikes and motocross since he was like 5-6 years old, and at age 35 he stopped riding motorcycles because he said he it was too nuts here to do it. I was 16 at the time. So for a complete gearhead, motor head, grease junkie to tell me motorcycle riding was crazy - I took it to heart. Maybe some day I'll pick it up, but not around here.

From Planet F1

Formula One could see a return to turbo engines and ground effect cars for the 2013 Championship.

With F1 looking to become more environmentally friendly and keep costs to a minimum, the sport has put together several Working Groups to look at various ways that F1 could achieve those aims.

According to Autosport, one idea being discussed is the use of a 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbo engine that would be handed a power boost through Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS).

Added to that, Williams' technical director Sam Michael revealed that the teams are also keen to introduce a fuel flow rate limit.

"Rather than dump as much fuel in as we can at the moment, there will be a fuel flow metre - so you won't be able to blow more than a certain amount of fuel. It is a good chunk less than we had at the moment," he said.

As for ground effect cars, Michael added: "They are talking about putting a greater proportion of downforce to the diffuser, a ground effect car - like the early 1980's.

"They have been looking at that, as well as increasing crash protection at the front of the car by moving the sidepods further forwards."

Great "Nice Price or Crack Pipe" possibility:

Two 1950s Packard two-door sedans crudely made into "race cars" to run the recreated Carrera Panamericana, at $30k each. (Bring a Trailer via Columbus, Ohio Craigslist)

These probably wouldn't be worth $10k for the pair.

I'm just messing with speigel1, apparently he loves Cowboy Bebop, but hates Keanu Reeves... and there is this old Hollywood rumor that a live action Bebop movie was being planned and Keanu was going to play Spike Speigel.

"Follow Jalopnik on Facebook?" Yeah. I do. I have for months. So why do I have to see the same damn ad for it EVERY DAY in the Jalopnik feed? Can't it maybe peek at the cookie, see a Jalop/FB ID, and NOT insist on taking up real estate on my screen?

@urabus: I hope my comment isn't interpreted as a smart-ass remark (not saying yours was, as I haven't seen it in context). I just don't get why the same banner has to appear in the feed every day - without a way to make it go away.

There is a Speed Exhibition of Deusenbergs today in the Kendalville (IN) airport this afternoon. They're supposed to be doing old school, arm-drop racing with some classic planes flying in for a small show as well. If I can get out of the office in time, I plan on snapping some pictures.

This clip may be the best 1:30 ever committed to video. You'd say that JUST based on the way the dude knocks down a helicopter by jumping some sort of pickup truck into it (!), but wait for the end. The way he, uh, disarms his opponent is fantastic.
