    Big deal. They only did one side. Call me when they do the other side, change the belts and put on a reduction pulley while driving.

    NASCAR should incorporate this into the Nationwide and Truck series; I suspect this would help with the flagging attendance and dismal T.V. ratings.

    What's plan B if they drop one? They got a couple spares against the off side door maintaining balance?

    F1 would have to figure out how to do it in 2.3 seconds. ;)

    I'm sure F1 could figure out how to do it using telematics or some other way that utilizes advanced machinery instead of human performance. (Still no an F1 fan)

    Very handy, that suicide rear door/clubdoor - to be able to easily open it while driving along!

    The way the wheels stopped turning as soon as they left the ground makes me think there was either some artificial brake pressure applied or the driver was also lightly pressing the brake pedal while balancing the car on two wheels. Which sounds well into the 'rubbing stomach while patting head' level of skill.....

    And it shouldn't have to be a furriner that tells you all that an American built a long-distance non-stop car decades ago that could change its own tires (see 6:27 on):

    Heck - even runflats look quite good compared to that.....

    There's a spare on the rear hatch. I'd like to see them do a 3-wheel tire rotation.
