My first thought was you were sitting in front of a giant Civic Type R.

Whether or not they charge for the rides seems like the least important part of this. “Well, all the passengers and two bystanders were killed, but at least they didn’t pay for the ride.”

I mean, obviously, don’t — I’m joking. I know *you* wouldn’t, but after posting this it occurred to me the internet is crawling with idiots. Hell, for all I know the president could be reading this while wondering how to get some decent heat into his VW.  

Just duct the exhaust into the cabin -- judging from the smell, that’s how they normally work.

Sorry Jalop Women — that sounds like a drag. Thanks for toughing it out.

I really want Subaru go get a little more aggressive -- a la the EVO FQ 480 (or whatever it was called) that was so bonkers.  You can obviously tweak these things for a ton of power without much effort.

24 mph is the average speed on my 10 mile commute. Doing that 24 hours a day for 5 years is hard to imagine. Possible, but really tough.

OK, that’s pretty funny.  I was definitely not looking up Grinding Nemo on my own, though.  Learned that lesson a long time -- don’t google something unless you know it didn’t come from 4Chan.

Read this as “air-conditioned” and thought VW fans were starting to draw the lines a bit too fine.

Plus, leaf springs to own the Jezza ;-)

Definitely doesn’t sound like a corvette, but I like it.  Hope it’s fast!

Yeah... the GT cars are great right now. I’m not going to write this class off though — we’ll see.

Well, hopefully it will work out. I hated Daytona Prototypes (almost as much as IRL), so hopefully it won’t be that bad. It doesn’t sound like it will. That’s a good list of manufacturers. If we can get a factory LMP 1 Ferrari team on the grid, the world will be a better place.

BTW, great dialog is how you add drama to a car race scene. See this clip for a great example of how a great script can elevate a film:

I like when a racing driver decides to floor it and downshift to pass their competitor — as if it wasn’t floored and in the optimal gear whenever possible anyway. I get that it’s hard to dramatically show someone braking slightly later than their competitor, but still.

Know when to say when.

Lagging behind other modern cars is practically the whole point of the Wrangler.

What’s the engineering behind those low shock mounts (which are pretty common on a lot of other, especially US, trucks). Just more shock body size / stroke in a given space? Better axle location? They’ve always struck me as so perilous that it seemed like they had to have a good purpose.

That’s actually a surprising amount of Aztecs.

Does he know what he has?
