"[It was] the first car in my life that I drive and I feel scared. ... I came back into the pits and I was white," Walter Rohrl, a former world rally champion and Porsche test driver, told Drive magazine in 2002. "I have never felt anything like that," car critic Jeremy Clarkson said in 2008 on the British BBC motor show Top Gear. "You need to be awake to drive this fast. It really isn't an easy car to control, the clutch is brutal, the power is savage, and the handling ... you really are on a knife edge. … Other cars forgive you, but make a mistake in that and it bites your head off. That v.10 engine is a landmine." So with more than 600 horsepower, a knack for swerving out of control, and no electronic stability control system, should the Porsche Carrera GT even be allowed on the road? No, according to former racer Craig McClellan, who told SportsCarMarket.com that the vehicle should be "feared." "When a 'race car for the streets' is sold to anyone with enough money, regardless of his ability to drive it, and it doesn't even incorporate modern electronic safety devices that correct driver errors, then maybe the manufacturer should accept some responsibility for the foreseeable deaths that will result," he said. converted by Web2PDFConvert.com Editor's Note: ObamaCare Is Here.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACT Emily Morris | (512) 463-6485 [email protected] Filmmakers Robert Rodriguez and Elizabeth Avellán to discuss The Faculty, Texas filmmaking at the Bullock Museum The Faculty will screen as part of the Bullock Museum's Texas Focus Film Series OCTOBER 7, 2019 (AUSTIN, TX) — Filmmakers Robert Rodriguez and Elizabeth Avellán will join the Bullock Texas State History Museum this Thursday, October 10 at 7 pm for a screening of The Faculty followed by a discussion and Q&A. The film screens as part of the Museum's Texas Focus Film Series, presenting films filmed by, for, and about Texans. The Faculty, directed by Rodriguez and produced by Avellán, has become a cult classic since its release in 1998. The sci-fi horror film follows a group of students who suspect their teachers are aliens after a series of bizarre occurrences. The film was shot in Austin and other Texas cities and stars Josh Hartnett, Jordana Brewster, Elijah Wood, Jon Stewart and Salma Hayek. "The Faculty feels like a fun time capsule from the 90s. Rodriguez and Avellán created a film that boosted film-making in Austin and epitomized an era, from its soundtrack to its glamour-grunge style," said Rachel Manning, Film Programs Manager at the Bullock Museum. Now in its fourth season, the Bullock Museum's Texas Focus Film Series explores the Texas narrative through Texas-based talent, relevant storytelling, and the expansive Texas backdrop. This season, the series focuses on films shot in Austin and includes screenings of Andrew Bujalski's Support the Girls, Joel and Ethan Coen's Blood Simple, Richard Linklater's Slacker, and others.
