This brings back memories of rebuilding my Mustang back in 2003.

Yep, every time I'd bust open a knuckle perched precariously on a fender or scrape my forehead rolling around underneath on a creeper, I'd sit for a few minutes daydreaming about this kind of setup.

>> ^Payback:

Give up inefficient gas-powered cars???????
You can have my classic Mustang when you pry it from my cold, dead garage.
No seriously, I blew the engine a couple years ago, now it's just rotting back there. It's sad really.


It's a Mustang. No huge loss.

no, everything you're seeing is from p-51 mustangs dogfighting zero's and then doing strafing runs against various targets from Tokyo to the coast on their way back from protecting the b-29's bombing runs.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Mustang Spin - Police Chase. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

Found out my Mustang's timing was too far advanced, so I developmentally delayed it.

You can totally see him sliding there along the road but you can't tell unless you know thats him stopping in front of he grey car. CRAZY!

This blog post from the guy in the silver mustang in the video (the car most visible in the dash cam) is quite interesting: http://blog.onedua

He has an annotated video where he points out the driver being ejected, sliding across the highway, and stopping 10 feet in front of his Mustang.

Woah!!! For anyone that hasn't seen it, I highly recommend searching for the Mustang Drift videos. They're somewhere on Ford's website but it's a very impressive series of videos for the new Mustang. They get one of the top US Formula Drift drivers to go to Japan with a 500hp mustang. It's really cool seeing an American muscle car driving around Japanese streets, using their automated car parks and drifting on some of the most notable tracks in all of Japan.

It's really easy and commonplace to look to the past and say "oh that's just common sense- of course that was the right way to do it."

The truth is that no one was making a phone that was a finger driven multi-touch, all screen "the device is the screen" device.

Now everyone seems to be- and I think that's great. But credit where credit is due. The current crop of smart phones have borrowed heavily from the iPhone in just about every way.

Right...and all that really matters is what's under the hood (bonnet). At the end of the day, you have 2 good cars to choose from in your analogy. Google didn't invent the search engine, but what they did with it was revolutionary. It's ok to take an idea and build upon it. Your only comparison seems skin deep. Besides, in my opinion, the iphone's "look" is the lowest common denominator. It's not flashy, it's not sexy...it's a bit slippery though. It's not like they had a revolutionary design. Their design was based on simplicity. Which works. And you can't patent simplicity.>> ^dag:
A closer analogy would be that if everyone was driving motorized trikes -and then someone invents the Ford Mustang. Then all the motorized trike makers decide to start making Camaros.

I see the shape is the same...and they're both black. They also both have icons. That's like saying 2 cars are the same because they have 4 wheels, 4 doors, and windows.

What if evolution doesn't respect symmetry as it does on earth? Most of our creatures are either bilaterally or radially symmetrical- I'm thinking of something with one big frickin' arm on one side and little tiny one on the other - something like Trogdor - or just realized - the Moties from The Mote in God's Eye.


The Moties were inbred mutants, not non-symetric evolution. Pfft. Having a watchmaker rebuild the engine in my Mustang might be fun though.
