Sometimes I wonder where all of this engineering money people speak of is (mechanical engineer for two years here), then I remember that track days and racing motorcycles is a giant-ass money pit.

Looks like they're attached to the front of the red one.

This isn't unique to the CTS-V though, every supercar I've looked at has this. The Aventador, for example, just has a circular pipe dumping into a shaped piece of metal at the very end.

This seems like the Project Alpha only with a new black stripe down the center. A dealer close by has had one in stock for a while (I think they originally had three, to be fair): http://www.lfsc.com/2012-mclaren-m…

I've never had a bike with ABS, and some "purists" say ABS is bad and whatever, but I think it's a great safety feature for a road bike. It's one of those things that you only need to use once and it will have been worth the investment.

Absolutely not. The Street Triple is essentially a sport bike with a comfier seating position. I'm a big proponent of starting small on bikes for a number of reasons, and the Striple just has a lot of power and torque to handle.

This.

I know that statistically I'm an outlier, but Apple lost me forever when my Macbook Pro had a problem where the keyboard and trackpad wouldn't work for about half an hour after booting (USB ones worked). Still in warranty. I went in four different times, always being told that it was a software issue and they…

Ah, gotcha, I was just trying to think if you could save yourself the headache of un-upholstering the entire trunk, but after exploding the window I guess it's not too bad anyways, haha.

Is it not possible to jump-start it through the tender cable? Usually tender cables are just wired directly to the battery terminals. Just wondering since this reminded me of my buddy's Continental GT which has a charging port in the trunk specifically for tenders and jump-starting.

They were posting a lot about this poll on their Facebook page in an effort to get people to vote for them.

My first thought was that I could have sworn that Casino Royale set the world record for cannon-assisted rolls in a car at 7 or something... So surely the record for non-cannon-assisted rolls would be less, right?

I love me some Veneno as much as the next guy, but it is really bugging me that you guys called it both "more exclusive" and "less exclusive" in the same article. But then again I'm a semantic asshole.

I'm pretty sure you're right and that's what happened. Crashes like this are why front brake guards are mandatory with a lot of race organizations, but when you see the orange bike sliding it doesn't have one.

Brammo Empulse R, and it's awesome: http://www.brammo.com/

Cross-country trips are the thing that really appeal to me about autonomous cars. I'm a huge track-day whore with my motorcycle, and a lot of the time you spend 10 hours driving in a weekend in order to do 2 hours of riding on the track. Being able to just throw the bike in the back of a van, hit "GO" and then take…

A few months ago I saw a JAC J5 in Chicago (I had to Google it to figure what the hell it was) and got incredibly confused. I really can't conceive how it'd be cheaper to ship a car over an ocean, but hey, I've been wrong bafore.

They're everywhere in Chicago nowadays. I actually saw a taxi cab 2013 Fusion a couple of days ago.

XArmor U9W: Brown switches + wireless = heaven. I couldn't give up wireless when I was shopping for a mechanical keyboard, and wireless mechanicals are few and far between. Could not possibly be any happier with my choice of the XArmor.

A "Civic of the Air" wouldn't be a jet to begin with. Civics aren't fast, but they get you there. So basically a prop plane.
