No, if he does - its the exception and not the rule.

It should be easy to find a video showing the police shutting down the road then, eh? Have at it then, because I could not find one - but please give it a run. In the meantime, I found dozens of examples of the road NOT being closed. Pedestrians, drivers, cyclists,…

I own what I own because I want to, and how I choose to drive them is not up to you. The E34 M5 is my toy that I take through the mountains and generally drive whenever the mood strikes me. The wagon is my daily. Sorry your life sucks so much that you find my situation unbelieveable. The fact that I also occasionally…

Not a cyclist - just a dude that cares more about my fellow-man than Farrah does. Regarding the wagon - dragstrips are fun. I daily-drive the car, too. Because I can.

I am not making a career out of driving-videos that hundreds of thousands of people watch, nor do people look to me as some sort of role-model. That being said, I do not drive like Farah does on public roads. I go to a track. I put other folks safety above my own thrills when behind the wheel. (which includes going as…

The Grand Tour and Top Gear all close the streets when they’re going to be driving like fools. There’s no question about that. Driving like a normal person on a public road doesn’t require closing the street. Anything over that most certainly does, and its exactly why Matt NEVER talks about how fast he’s going during…

No, he usually doesn’t. The fact that there are other cars on the road is evidence of this. I work in the industry and I’ve closed streets before for shoots. Its not easy, nor is it cheap. In most cases you have to have traffic-control plans submitted to the county/municipality where the shoot is done - weeks in…

Not sure what you are hinting at... Are you saying that he’s gone through the hassles of getting permits to shoot on these streets and has closed the roads accordingly? Uh, no, he has not, nor does he. The fact that there are other cars on the road during his shoots is evidence of this. Scroll up and watch the Polaris…

Here’s Matt driving like a dickbag with a passenger, nearly creaming a cyclist:

Thanks for your comments. I’ll cry to myself quietly in the driver’s seat of my 550 horse 383-powered station wagon. Or maybe I’ll use the M5 to tend to my tattered feewings as a result of your accurate assessment of my character.

I don’t get Jalopnik’s deal with Farrah. The guy drives like a mindless dickbag on public streets - way over the speed limit - and he’s a “friend of the website”. Anyone else does it and they’re virtually skinned alive and ridiculed like the fools that they actually are.

At what point do we stop calling it “keyless ignition” in an EV?

So uh... Andrew... Why no air under the front skinnies on launch? Was that using the transbrake or the good ol’ double footer?

Frankly, it doesn’t matter what you want on your neighbor’s property. If it falls beneath the legal protection of what is permitted, then you can move elsewhere or deal with it.

If brick-and-mortar car-parts stores become few and far between, it’ll be a boon for the dealerships. And this is a very, very bad thing for all of us.

I was the proud owner of a bone-stock all-original 1993 BMW M5. It was my pride and joy, and I’d spent a not insignificant amount of time searching for just the right E34 M5 to purchase before I pulled the trigger on this car. Perfect body with nary a speck of rust. All original drivetrain that had been well…

Your emissions & plate suggestions don’t exactly line-up with published state laws. Are you talking about a specific state, with specific antique plate requirements perhaps? Of the states that require tailpipe tests, most are 25 years, some require all cars manufactured after 1968 to be tested.

Except after 20 years most states consider a car a classic and it doesn’t have to meet any regs.

I live in the 6th. I’m a Democrat. I am an active voter. I can say with unflinching certainty that all the money in the race was spent in hamfisted, poorly coordinated ways that pissed-off hard-core Democrat voters like myself. Mainly, it was wasted in oversaturating already canvassed Dems with home-visits.

It started…

The port-injection will also undoubtedly help with the valve-buildup inherent in almost ALL DI engines.

I don’t get it. I mean, what’s the big deal? They re-branded themselves to appeal to men instead of (what they thought was) the middle-ground. So what? If they want to alienate one sex over the other - so be it. Its their prerogative and one embraced by Cosmo, Woman’s Day, and many, many others.

You don’t approve?…
