I know you're joking, but Nascar actually uses some cool tech [1] to make a 3D model of each car on-site to ensure they're in spec with regulations for size, aero, etc... Here [2] it is in action at the last Daytona 500 https:&#x

I think it only works out that way when you're unpacking the same number of variables as there are elements in c, which is the same as (a,b) = c and c = (a,b). If you tried something like c = (('d','e','f'

More sales doesn't mean better, especially considering BMW's offerings are newer. BMW is far superior to Tesla when it comes to the "car" part, as in the materials, build quality and driving dynamics. Same goes for the T

I'm not surprised, it sounds illegal for the purpose you described. It's illegal just to own plate flipping devices without even using them in some states. Surely that would be too. > A person commits an offense if the person

Right, I meant that people often track their street cars. I've already said that I don't bother with nitrogen, but it takes a special kind of person to run R compound tires on the street...

They worked with Megapro to develop it, a reputable brand. I haven't used it, but denying potential quality solely because they don't have brand recognition in that space is an unconvincing argument.

That's hardly the case. F1 cars haven't used manual transmissions since 1995. DCT's enable the absurdly fast 0-60 and lap times that people expect when they're paying hundreds of thousands for a car. This is nothing new.

Ferrari started removing manual transmissions from models in the late 2000's and hasn't offered one since the 599 which was discontinued in 2012, so everyone within the past 10-15 years.
