    The Ford GT Application Process Begins

    I also came back later to add links and everything previously done was gone. Has anybody been able to do a SAVE on the first pages and then came back later with it still there?

    Driverless

    The industry believes it's exactly because of all these things that you need these advanced driver systems....that they somehow mitigate the risk of these activities. Computers and radar/vision systems will do this better someday, but I think we are much farther away from that day than is being...

    Driverless

    I lead the team that built the world's first collision avoidance vehicle for GM back in 95. GM had bought Hughes, who I worked for, and who was a radar company. Took it to both Europe and Asia to all the major manufacturers to sort of "seed" the work. Just FYI.....

    Installed TPMS system last week.

    I assume whenever it is screwed on it opens the Schrader valve, exposing the internal pressure to a sensor in the device, and when removed the valve closes until you open it again in the process of adding air.....

    Installed TPMS system last week.

    There's a new system just coming out based on simple valve stem caps with Bluetooth results to your smartphone, or a dash module. But the results simply on your phone seems pretty cool to me.....

    The Bolivian Special was an odyssey as well. Push starting a car on a short barge? Lol. I remember when they went over that mountain peak where even weeds and bacteria can't live Jermeny said Richard was the smallest living creature for a radius of 200 miles.....something like that....funny...

    I was too lazy to look it up, and I was afraid I'd be wrong that there are other industry guys on there. But, that does help prove the point in that those guys seem pretty reasonable and decent..... On this show they compete against each other, even when on the same team, as was obvious when...

    Not sure I entirely agree with this, and I have worked in the industry on concept car design, and although it was both it was more on the technology side. The difference is in industry everybody has a boss, a true boss. Not the pretend tv boss. And when your job and promotions and raises are...

    I found tonight's episode to be a bit irritating. I watch to learn about car design, instead it's turned into a show of mostly obnoxious people.....and if I wanted a reality show based only on silly people I'd go watch Big Brother. Just my opinion.....I hope they get back to respectful car...

    Spec Racer - Ford

    Both my son and I have driven in this great class in two different cars I built. I even won some races. The last car I built is now being driven by the 4X National Champion Mike Miserendino, who I fully expect to win the runoffs this year at Laguna Seca......
