These guys really need to build scooters! Yeah. How about a 2 cyl., ten valve, 4t supercharged, turbocharged, intercooled electrokinetic-assisted with a dual clutch auto shifting ten speed, 50 hp 24,000 rpm 50cc 120 mph carbon fiber-ceramic-beryllium budget scooter for under $2000? I'm holding my breath and waiting for space aliens to roller skate my order out to me at the Sonic.   |

Great find. Now we know where those hundreds of millions of $ go...
Except for the wind tunnel, a lot of that looks like your garage Brent. Well except for the 3D printer. And except for...

As cool as an F1 car is, I think I'd rather have their tools in my garage than their car. I bet I'd even figure out how to power on one of them within a year or two.

I'd just be happy to figure out all the buttons on the $50,000+ steering wheel...

All I need to know is which one is auto-pilot, cause I sure couldn't drive one. lol

Hell, I'd be happy just to play on a 125cc shifter cart.  |

Very true. A friend was considering one for a bit. There is some serious money in racing those things. Obviously a way different scale than F1, but the average person could go broke quick. One of my friends races karts with Briggs style engines at local tracks. There's more involved in that than I would ever want really. His big enclosed trailer has tire racks and gear racks and tons of chemicals for treating tires and... Wow, do they put time into tires. He has to do multiple preps of tires and they spin them on a rotissere and they have to get the hardness just right. Of course you need to buy a special guage for the tire hardness. I just kinda wanna bolt the tires on and then burn em off. lol  |

Me either, till he got into it. The local track is hard clay. I said I guess you just need a lot of prep for that to get traction. He said no, we do it everywhere you are just shooting for different hardness and such and you may use a different brand for different surfaces.
