The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I am! I think you'd appreciate this Fury Road commentary I dug up from facebook.

"WITNESS ME!

Damn, that movie made me proud to be a child of the auto industry. Engines and grit, pure filthy rock n roll horsepower and fuel drenched fucking redemption racing the vicious rotation of hot gears and dusty wheels to the chrome studded tits of Valhalla.

Still feeling flushed."

I actually saw that on Facebook when you reshared it. Made me want to rewatch it but I don't fuckin' own it yet.

It really was a great movie. I loved the war party chase scene.

DETROIT — The Obama administration issued on Tuesday the final version of new rules that require automakers to nearly double the average fuel economy of new cars and trucks by 2025.

The reason cars all look the same now is there are not multiple ways to achieve peak drag reduction.

no one cares how fast your car is dude and you seem really extra proud of yourself about it. it's kind of funny and pathetic. it's like an ant thinking he's an elephant or something because he's lifting a bigger crumb of bread. I could easily go and buy the same car but i think it's a waste of money.

Hoe's dig his car, it's a big deal, they care how fast it is.

2 pages of car-talk? jesus fucking christ!
Cars are fucking stupid
If I had a Corvette, I'd sell it.
I work with a car guy, he's a fucking loser.
I dont give a shit about your stupid horse power or the model or the year. Just fucking stop!

 

[CiG]

I'm not a car guy, I just used to have a nice car. Don't poop yourself brokeback mountainbiker.

I jave a Fiesta because it works and it's cheap to run.

 

[tagradh]

Welcome back TB! You were definitely missed metal discussions have been slow as fuck without someone to stir the pot a bit.

I'm a city gal through and through. I don't know anything about cars but I can give you the fastest trains and exact directions on how to get where you need to go in NYC the fastest way by train lol.
I'm bugging though. This summer I'm getting my license.


Curious to know has anyone ever taken a DNA test before? What was you experience n what test did you take if you have?

@TechnicalBarbarity

Can I see a picture of your Corvette? This is the first time that I'm interested in what you're posting about.

I enjoyed Death Proof, lots

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Death Proof and Drive are the only one's i've seen from those.

 

[CiG]

Needs more Mad Max.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeaaaah i thought that after posting it

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I dont give a shit about your stupid horse power

I'd normally agree, though I was impressed when I googled 1277 horsepower and learned that it's roughly a megawatt. Puts that car almost in league with locomotives.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Yea, that's a ridiculously high number. A lot of motorheads/gearheads and tuners claim they can get 1200-1500 from their cars(some even claim 3000 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=3000+camaro) , but i've never seen them actually put numbers like that up on a dyno. That's why that one clip i posted was super impressive imo.
