Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

I cant believe they managed to sell all 1000 of the Goodwood inspired Minis. I get that they were designed by Rolls Royce but way too expensive for a Mini Cooper. That said I am interested enough to see the review. I have also never heard of these guys are they good?

Ahh... And that looks a lot like DOJ with Jeff Favignano style video, which I prefer his more tbh.

Pretty sure there was a joke in there somewhere. 

Somewhere, apparently it's pretty hidden though.

Made the choice to drive my car today. Had one dipshit try to merge in into traffic from a double yellow median into me. Fuck you thread ju-ju. 

I just had some guy pull riiiiiight up to me while I was backing out of a spot in a parking lot so I just stared at him until he decided to back up so I can actually turn and move out of the way. Fucking morons and their Mercs, every one of them.

They're really small, free-lance type. I met jacob last year on a few shoots and he's a pretty passionate videographer. Mostly started out doing quick shorts of cars at various shows, then transitioned to covering events. Shot the shit a few times because we both shoot sony.

 

You may know them for such works as:

 

And this infamous clip:

 

This is Jacob's personal car:

 

Most recently they've been getting a lot of manufacturer press drives:

Remember to buy real Bull balls for your truck to hang them off the rear hitch, and there must be atleast one good sized dent in the truck. Truck bed is the best!

Going back through the album, one of my favourite shots:

 

Sanderson under constant pressure from both Mark Motors cars, lap after lap. Constantly riding the curb at T3 and lifting a wheel.

This guy was in a hooptie dakota. Dude started merging and I honked and he almost over-corrected into oncoming, and proceeded to flip me off. If he woulda hit me I was in prime position to PIT him off the road to where EMS would be picking his teeth out of trees.

Back, so I guess blowing.

 

I hate dumb people. Drivers here are better than El Paso but still a bit dumb. Not a high bar to hurdle so I don't understand what the problem is with being a competent driver.

But I don't want to deal with mounting an air compressor and tank and dealing with lines and shit like that. Effort man.

Its getting bad here in the past 5 years. Bad cali drivers migrating up here and taking metaphorical shits on the road. My hope is that there is an economic collapse and they all go back into their holes that they came from.

Its all the immigrants the government is letting in.

You realize in India, all you need to do is start the car and put it in gear and go 10' and you got a license.

Plus there is no aging mandatory retesting.

The  hope is that when California falls in to the ocean it takes most of the residents in with it (sorry @terrytek, you're guilty by association).
