When was the Obama car tethered to the windmill on here?
That cartoon didn't FAIL like this one.
Kyle Jordan|6.12.09 @ 7:11AM|#
Well, they could always make it more a race of cunning instead
of speed.
You know, add obstacles and whatnot. Grizzly bears, crocodiles,
motes with sharks to jump, gorillas with rattan sticks, and blind
guys pumped full of whiskey and PCP with scythes.
Don't forget the fire and/or land mines.

Why isn't there a picture of Sarah Palin in the stands, with her blouse unbuttoned, screaming Drill Baby Drill?

I notice that Hit and Run didn't comment on the holocaust
denier's shooting/murder at the holocaust museum.
Hit and Run may not comment upon it for fear of offending its
anti-Semitic audience at so-called "Reason" magazine or Hit and Run
does not comment upon it because it does not want to tip its hand
in such an ugly manner.
Whatever, most of so-called "Reason" is evil (Michael Moynihan
being somewhat of an exception). The tolerance toward the Muslims
of their anti-Semitism, plus its cheerleading by so-called "Reason"
magazine helps contribute to the atmosphere of murders and
attempted murders of Jews.
You Rhoemites count yourselves proud :-|

To no one's surprise, underzog doesn't know how to scroll down
on a website.
Also to no one's surprise, the "funny" part of "Friday Funnies" is
so much the opposite that i'm no longer sure today is Friday.

Underzog is another person who can't tell the difference between
oposition to Israeli policy and anti-Semitism.

DRINK!
"most of so-called "Reason" magazine"

I'd watch that. And electric cars would be quiet, so we could hear
the growls and screams!

I'm converting my Suburban to run on uninformed indignation. The supply is unlimited.
|6.12.09 @ 9:03AM|#
Actually, the way things are going, it will be a video game, soon. You'll just e-mail your setup and race strategy to the officials, who will then run the simulation and announce a winner.

Why do the cars have those rear spoilers? Aren't they for vehicles that might hit over 60 mph?
creech|6.12.09 @ 9:15AM|#
In addition to jumping shark motes, I think each race car should tow a lion.
|6.12.09 @ 9:24AM|#
Why do the cars have those rear spoilers?
You need a place to put your granola bar and whey-and-wheat-grass
shake while you wait for the battery to recharge every forty
miles.

OK, first of all, an electric race car can generate full torque over its entire speed range, possibly giving it better acceleration than a conventional race car.
|6.12.09 @ 9:37AM|#
*sigh*
Weren't we on a not sucking too hard Friday Funny streak?
Well, people only look at the FF to see a cartoon crash anyway.

Given their range, I am looking forward to the Indianapolis
25.
Or half hour pit stops to change out the batteries. Either one.
Mike Laursen|6.12.09 @ 9:44AM|#

That was much funnier than the cartoon.
|6.12.09 @ 9:45AM|#
Underzog, I don't like drinking this early.
But what about all the people employed by the alcohol industries?
It doesn't matter if you want to drink this early it is
your patriotic duty!
And WTF the sun is up, soon enough to start drinking!

"Given their range, I am looking forward to the Indianapolis

And yet the race will last just as long as it always has.

I like the use of color on the cars--and that's just about
it.
(For more red/blue/green fun, see 1960s ABC and CBS color
IDs.)
underzog|6.12.09 @ 10:08AM|#
Seriously, though, I could beat LoneWacko - or whatever he calls
himself - like a stepchild, then get back to exploring his mother's
tweakhole.
That goes for the fine folks at Reason and its audience as well.
(Moynihan again a possible exception - not sure how big he
is.)

You gotta copywrite for that underdog pic on your gay-bottom
website?
|6.12.09 @ 10:23AM|#
I'd pay good money to see underzog and LoneDipwad go at it like
Roddy Piper and Keith David from They Live, but it would,
in reality, be more like the Timmy/Jimmy fight that was modeled
after it.
Still: CRIPPLE RETARD FIGHT!!!

Epi, I didn't realize you were into gladiator themed man on man porn.. Hmmm, learn something new everyday.
|6.12.09 @ 11:09AM|#
whoooooosh.
The sound of your Airplane quotes going right over my ignorant
head.
|6.12.09 @ 11:25AM|#
I'd ask Epi if he'd ever seen a grown man naked, but,
well...you know.
Well, of course...I've seen your mom naked, after all. That's the
same thing.
|6.12.09 @ 11:25AM|#
Epi-
Have you been down to Lake Union to watch the seaplanes weave
through the sailboats, yet?
Very entertaining.
|6.12.09 @ 11:29AM|#
P Brooks, no I haven't, but that sounds fun. I have seen a number of seaplanes pass over, though.
|6.12.09 @ 11:34AM|#
I haven't been out there for a long time, but there was a cool little sidewalk place where you could sit outside and eat lunch and watch the show.

It takes you 30 minutes to change out a car battery? Do you have
mitten hands? Interestingly, if properly designed, you could have
quick release replacement batteries that take less time to change
out than it takes to fill current gas tanks.

Properly designed? From GM? The same company that can't route a
battery cable correctly? Good luck with that. Or were you hoping
some other company is going to try the electricar bs?
|6.12.09 @ 12:12PM|#
It takes you 30 minutes to change out a car
battery?
No, but my car runs on gas. I suspect changing out a battery that
weighs hundreds, rather than tens, of pounds, will take a little
longer.
Interestingly, if properly designed, you could have quick
release replacement batteries that take less time to change out
than it takes to fill current gas tanks.
Given the size of the batteries needed to power a car, I seriously
doubt it. The battery in a Tesla roadster weighs more than 700
pounds.

"Properly designed" indeed; I have seen that show. Once upon a
time, CART worked out a deal which allowed college electric car
"race" teams to run exhibition races at our events.
What a goat rope. We sat on the pit wall and laughed our asses
off.

I don't know about underzog, but I prefer my pussy without nuts, thanks.
William Furr|6.12.09 @ 1:32PM|#
The torque characteristics for an electric motor make them
perfect for drag racing. There's an electric motorcycle that drags
in the 7s. I can't imagine what that must be like to ride.
I don't know about the Indy. Range would be an issue, and
range-extended EVs add an awful lot of weight to the vehicle with
two sets of motors and fuel (gas engine hooked up to an alternator
to keep batteries charged, electric motors to run the wheels).

E-Car Battery swapping in under one minute (allegedly),
nonetheless, much faster than R C Dean's 30 minutes.
