Brilliant. Love that movie.

Nope, that's definitely a Toyota Echo engine.

everyone has got it wrong…. they were testing the new hybrid system and what you're actually hearing is engine noise being pumped through a speaker to keep the driver awake (and to fool all of us)…. DUH

If you're a Corvette traditionalist, you're going to be pissed off. I parked the C7 next to a C6, and the change is so drastic that it looks like this is actually a C12. Since the original Stingray, the Corvette has had round or oval rear taillights (bar a rounded rectangular interlude in the C4). And while tradition…

He meant to say "42."

Also, the document is for a 20 year old. Both the deadspin and source article say this Christian Massey was already 21.

Son,

Remember it's not cheating until you get caught

Fascinating. Great information there, apparently this was a pretty big issue then.

I wonder if it was on the OEM tires? I know Evo drove one recently that wasn't on OEM rubber and it appeared to be much easier to drive.

Me too :) I absolutely love the low-level cheap car challenges.

I'd go for pretty much any cheap car challenge, even if all they did was buy cruddy cars and drive them around the UK or continental Europe. Their less ambitious cheap car episodes - £10,000 supercars, Porches, not-Porches and so on - are some of my absolute favourites, second only to the best of the specials. The…

They should test a Baja Bug.

I can't wait!

They recently visited Yalta.

C7?

I have an issue with this. 'Speed' doesn't kill people. Mechanical faults in cars being driven in areas that haven't been developed to accommodate such cars can kill people. Drivers in situations where they lose control of a car in areas that haven't been developed to accommodate such cars can kill people; but it's…

I don't see lack of power steering causing the inability to steer.

Not to get too philosophical about it but...while he left us too early as a gear-head how would you want to leave this earth? Cancer, heart-disease, or behind the wheel one one of the coolest Porsches ever made?

I don't think the 996 is quite as bad looking as we've all trained ourselves to think. It's a very clean, fuss-free design. I think the issue is largely that the front clip was shared with the "ordinary" Boxster, a cost saving design necessity to put Porsche on firmer financial footing.
