  1. Yeah but only when you travel 80+mph will it be safe
  2. $18-25 an hour supposedly https://flex.amazon.com/
  3. That LS7 turbo volvo was the best part of the vid
  4. Do this, then find out what they are marking the tires with. Then if he moves any of them, go and put fresh lines on.
  5. If those were 140mm I'd take all 6 GLWS, lots of top quality stuff here. I wish I had a need for the 900D
  6. No, you have the difference between a new (battery) technology and one that runs on, you said it yourself, dinosaurs. But if you want an apples to apples comparison, really the first DC electric motors predate gasoline internal combustion by nearly 30 years. I assure you, if you gave a gasoline engine and an electric motor both a constant supply of energy, and a constant load, that electric motor will go on FAR longer and reliably than the gasoline will. Do you even realize why there is this limitation? This isn't limited to Tesla or their inability to engineer a car that can do this, there is just NO battery in the world could do that. The heat that accumulates in the battery packs is quite hard to remove since pretty much all of the materials used in modern batteries (lithium, nickel, manganese, cobalt) are relatively poor thermal conductors. Their precautions in neutering power aren't a joke. Thermal runaway in a LiCoO2 type batteries begins at just 302* F. A 90kwh battery is 324 megajoules of energy. That's the same amount of energy you'd find in 150-170lbs of TNT (three different conversions yielded different results.) Yeah, you're not blowing it all off at once, but you don't want that energy to start releasing itself rapidly. Would you want your gas tank igniting if your motor ran too hot?
  7. I have the Pilot AS3 in the exact size you are looking for. They are great in rain/snow, solid in summer, but the sidewalls are definetly soft (I cant imagine having something worse.) I did an autocross a bit back on them and at 34psi I was getting a lot of sidewall rollover I'm getting Potenza RE970AS for my next tire, had them on previous car and they were far better handling although I chewed through all of the tread (literally slicks) in 2 1/2 years/about 20k miles. Snow wasn't impressive however.
  8. "LO KART" (lotus kart?) "SLO KART"
  9. I don't get why people do violent crime. Just go into politics if you want to be a criminal.
  10. Put a cheap SSD in that and it'll be unkillable
  11. lol I'll gladly sell you a rock that keeps tigers away
  12. I'll let you know when I'm done and satisfied with one
  13. Since I just secured a n64 shell tonight, yeah, I'll let the secret out. Raspi3 + usb to n64 adapters, going to try tap power from the 12v of the N64 powersupply (only 12v@.8amps, with loss going to 5v it should be enough still) Already have some neat switches that allow graceful shutdown and such that I am going to try to use with the factory switch/button. The exterior is going to be indistinguishable from a functional N64. Still looking for more since I plan on making a few of these
  14. ...I should go into consulting
  15. I've got a two projects in mind using these as enclosures. Would prefer non-working examples since they'll be mostly gutted.
  16. That just keeps you in the lane, the tesla will drive your drunk ass home by its self
  17. For the price... I'd say it's above average looking? If you need to drive long distance once a year just get a rental econobox. Otherwise, if these things are reliable (what are the wearable parts? brakes?) seems like a good value These are self driving right? Show me another $35k car that does that
