Let's see your electric car do THIS...

RE: Let's see your electric car do THIS...
Since you asked nicely;

Claiming the title of the world’s fastest electric car is this, the catchily named Buckeye Bullet 3. The car was developed by Ohio State University in conjunction with French company Venturi to take on the world speed record for electric cars at the famous Bonneville Salt Flats in September 2016.

The result of their efforts was 342.144mph, thanks to two separate electric drivetrains and supremely slippery bodywork with a drag coefficient of just 0.13. Further attempts at the record by the Buckeye Bullet team are expected to clear 400mph; a hydrogen-electric version is also in the works.

      Conservative trigger warning.

Admittedly it was cheating but either way you slice it both are ridiculous speeds.

BUT if we really open the flood gates; The Parker Solar Probe obliterates anything on earth. Tongue

I just use the edge of a table or anything with a sharper inclination of 90 degrees (right angle), that I figure is durable enough.

Oh, I learned the hard way to NOT use 2 bottle caps, to open the other bottle ... I swore it would work again for the umpteenth time. What a fucking mess, and I had to change my beer stained pants and do some cleaning duty while the guys had a laugh. But it was a good time all round even though everyone was wasted there. Nice guitar music and song, too, by my best friend.

And oh, we're gaining on ya oil-chugging combustion engines, you'll see OLB.

I saw a guy open a bottle of Sapporo with a kanta. I sat quietly and smiled a lot.
