Level Of Difficulty at Work: .3 out of 10
NapTime During Lunch: Med
i just like to fly, and to see others flying brings great enjoyment.
But this is what i'm talking about. i wonder if the General Lee is astounded.
i remember when they changed body forms from the Subaru Impreza WRX STi-22.b To the new WRX body (2001 to 2004) that one improvement was the chassis was upgraded to withstand 6 times it's weight on impact, due to it's large suspension travel length (8"+) and stiff structure. Rally technology trickled down to the masses. Isn't that a beautiful thing? Thats why i like rally racing: a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine pumping 330+ horsepower, 300+ Ft/Lbs Torque, on a 1800pound chassis (with a carbon fiber shell) that can withstand multiple times it's own weight, using the most advanced All-wheel drive AND using sequential gearing, flying in the air, under a foot of water, in the snow or mud? $500k for a 'stock' rally car.. yum.. So why is NASCAR so cool?
Too bad the pilot (driver?) of this WRX won't tell us how far he went (100ft+). But it shows the weight distribution of the car is fairly even. Cars in flight (like you'll see many of those) will show you how balanced the car is since theres nothing holding it down. So a front heavy car (like Delilah) woulda started tilting forward after a few seconds of air. And that would be a bad thing, so no jumping for u Delilah!
Oh ya, start saving your money, the PlayStation4 is due to arrive approximately 2010. Who knows how much this puppys gonna cost and what it's gonna be capable of doing.
