It would be cool if you did things with cars that humans couldn’t tolerate. Make them go 500mph. Race them around loops and corkscrews. Let fans participate by dropping speed boosts, mines, and sections of the track covered in mouse-trap glue. Make it hilarious and I’ll tune in.

It’s a tactic. Is it a good one, though?

I read that as “places people go out of their way to visit” and not “places that are a haven of rich culture”. 

I have to disagree, the new Batmobile is so dorky looking. The only reason it looks half decent in the movie is because you can barely see it. It’s constantly dark and foggy. Overlaying the sound of a nice V8 in post doesn’t make it better, either.

Only one of them engaged in behavior that could easily have killed someone. There are words stronger than asshole for that.

Really amazed at the “both-sides-ism” here.

Since its premiere in 2012, this series has centered way too much on the drama of its cast, instead of the vehicles they’re meant to be restoring. It gets real old, real fast.

My 1992 Cappuccino is the perfect slow car. There is never a dull drive: you have to drive it like a motorcycle since you’re halfway below the beltlines of most cars (and face level with any modern truck). All gaps are manageable. There isn’t a ton of power, but the gearing is short and when the turbo kicks in, you…

Well written discussion always deserves elevation out of the greys.

Okay, I realize you mean well, but this post is significantly unhelpful in terms of providing useful information. It’s also flat-out wrong in some respects. Did you even trade emails with any helmet standards guys before posting this? I’ll try to address things in an orderly fashion.

most of the drivers in modern NASCAR come from socioeconomic backgrounds where the word “union” is a negative.

Cars are just so damn expensive and with wages being stagnant for nearly 2 decades and prices of everything else going up as well. its no wonder that pleasure vehicles sales are down as well. People are keeping their vehicles for longer and because of that they need things more practical. You cant just talk about the…

There once was a racer named Bill

Best bar fight I’ve seen in a long time. That’s not fair to bar fights though, most bar fights at least a real punch is landed. And the participants are too drunk to run across an entire track width the moment the bigger guy gets angry.  LeMastus is indicative of 95% of Trumpers: trash talk all day long online, throw…

It seems like Robby Gordon has set out to draw attention to his series by bringing in some very interesting people. And I only label them as such because it’s no longer PC to use the phrase “complete retards”.

Traffic stops should not receive the death penalty.  

The 4th amendment says:

Wait, what? Of course I agree with you that it was a tragically stupid decision to host it last time, but there is not an epidemiologist on earth who thinks that the conditions in May/June ‘21 will be the same that they were in August ‘20.
