I use one almost every week for the regular DIY mechanic. However mine is larger (the bag part).

In France we call it a "Dakar Jack" (from the Paris-Dakar race) or sometimes a "Sahara Jack". It's really fast, secure, and helps you lift the car on almost any surface. Its also lighter than a regular 2 tons jack.

It takes arrounds 20 seconds when accelerating at middle boost to lift my Subaru Legacy 2.0 Liters LPG. The only difficult part is to fit the pipe in the silencer tube when the tail is not round. It's easier when they are two people, one in the car, the other holding the tube on the rear exhaust.

+12 8. zongap commented 15 years ago on video 500 horsepower quad

Actually (cauz Im french..) the guy says it only has, for now, 350 hp but the designer will modify the engine by adding a compressor to take 500 from it.
Also, it weights only 500kg.
Wheels and brakes from a Porsche GT3, no chassis (the driver seats on the engine...).
Price will be 200.000 Euros (pretty much the same in dollars).

PS: by the way, the bugatti Veyron is a french car... Citroen won several times the WRC (world rallyes championship) and Renault won the F1 championship a few times too... and recently Peugeot won the 24h of Le Mans with their 908 (racing mainly against Audi). Just a reminder :p

#5 : the windshield is made of laminated safety glass. It must stay in one piece in any case !

However, you're right about most of modern car's windows : they are made of tempered glass because it's somehow secure and cheaper than laminated glass. Some manufacturer like Volvo or Audi and Mercedes let you choose in option for laminated glass for all windows (around 300€/$)

Volvo has always be ahead of most other car and truck manufacturer in term of safety. Both for the passengers (eg. top notch crash test center : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYdKoXPGqJg) or others people not in the car (eg. expensive safety features : http://www.snotr.com/video/9799/Volvo_s_new_Pedestrian_Airbag).

I feel safe driving my V40, and I won't change for any other brand unless they provide the same level of protection. When you see how many crash videos they are on Snotr... You know what I'm talking about. I don't know about other countries, but here in France and Europe, the EuroNCAP safety centers has always rated Volvo's with 5/5 stars.

+7 24. zongap commented 12 years ago on video Angry Woman vs Bike

It's actually "legalish" to passe between the cars in some countries (like France).
Here, it's allowed when both lines are at stop (or below 5km/h), and if you hit a car, what ever side it is on, you must pay the damages (unless the other car was swapping line without any turn signal).

So, don't start saying stuff like "it's illegal in the first place". It depends. We don't know how is the law in Brazil.

#12

In France a crepe is thinner and "lighter" than a pancake (you can bake them without any oil or butter using a PTFE coated pan -- Teflon Dupont). They are also well known to be served as main dishes (you dont necesseraly use regular flour, but also "raw" buckwheat flour wich give them a more salty taste. You can accomodate them with ham, eggs, cheese and tomatoes for instance. O:)

Crepes are one of the most common recipes found in France (and kids love them, we even have a special day for them : "La Chandeleur" on February 2 (Virgin Mary's Blessing Day).

When I went to the USA I recall someone calling them something like "Swedish Pancake"

#16 the parachute cannot slow down the rover below 200mph (320kmh) because the atmosphere is too thin and differs in composition from ours (different gases = different density and friction). Also add the different gravity...

Additionnaly, the balloon is not a precise enough option when it comes to "where do we land". The rover must absolutely land in a valley, otherwise it would be useless. And the balloon has to fall far from the rover not to smother it !
