Heartclick'd for the SC love. My second car was a '93 SC painted Honda Racing Blue... no, it didn't make sense but it looked fantastic. Sadly it was an automatic but the handling and balance were unbelievable for a big GT like that. I'd love to find another one and do it up right. My plans on mine were thwarted by

'94-'95 Thunderbird SC 5-speed. Might be a stretch at that price point.

I'm reminded of the vintage Ferrari owner who stuffed it into the tire wall in the Corkscrew at Laguna Seca. I remember him making some remark about, despite the value of the car, it only being possible to do about $200k worth of damage to the car since that's what it would cost to replace every component. When the

The science of ethology pretty much completely disagrees with you... this is exactly how people behave.

Actually, there's quite a lot of research out there to suggest that humans are programmed to believe a certain level of risk is "normal." If safety devices reduce safety below this level, risky behavior increases to compensate. Give a kid a bike helmet and he'll just jump the bike off a higher ramp because he's

Adequate words for how bad I want to see this have not yet been created in the English language.

Not the "General Tso?" I'm disappointed in NC State.

If his money's green and has pictures of dead presidents on it... hell yes.

If you don't agree on Harrier we can't be friends anymore.

Beaten like a government mule, but the Falklands War had nothing to do with imperialism. It had everything to do with England protecting the right of British people who wanted to remain British to do so.

I wish I hadn't seen Ricky on the sidewalk...

Sorry, everyone forgot about that one.

Man, that thing SUCKED in GT4.

Seriously. F those guys.

Clearly that would be the ride of one of the sketchier sellsword companies from one of the later books.

My understanding is that the Benetton was actually more powerful, but that it was a nightmare to drive (like 1-2 seconds of turbo lag nightmare.)

I need this in my life.
