Doh!

Meh, I just grabbed the one that had 917 in the title.

This happened to me in LeMons racing.

A cheater Miata went off on a very wide corner with tons of runoff. I saw it happen several seconds before I got to the corner. He was way off in the grass. The next thing I know, I am getting t-boned by said Miata while I am in mid-corner. WT-fucking-F?

Of course, EVERYONE is at…

Came here to see/say this.

This crash was 100% avoidable. And Fix had the audacity to be pissed off? What could he possibly be pissed about for making such a dangerous move?

Am I watching the same video as everyone else? This isn’t full blast and it’s probably not even 8/10ths, not by a longshot.

I realize that vintage racers generally dial things back considerably. Old cars, old guys, non pros with lots of money but not a lifetime of experience, irreplaceable cars worth cubic dollars. I…

I believe you’re still missing my point. When GM made great cars—truly better in terms of both quality and engineering than the competition; we are talking the Sixties here—they had 50% market share in the U.S. Their divisions competed against each other more than they did against Ford or Chrysler. And that made them…

As a long-time (as in pretty much my whole life) advocate of buying American, but also not a believer in protectionism, the blame should not go to Mexico nor to the unions. The blame clearly lies at the feet of the top management and the shareholders of the major auto companies.

They are simply chasing the buck and if…

I think there’s needs to be a balance between profits and human misery. You don’t seem to give a fuck if people get screwed over or not.

Shitty product, an insanely myopic take on the world, awful investment and the dumb ass notion that GM would always have 50% market share is what did the company in, a.k.a. really, terrifically god awful management.

Blaming the unions for the problems in the auto industry is like blaming the unions for GM’s ignition…

Alpine A110 > Ford GT.

Well I can and am waiting for mine. I don’t give a rat’s ass about the year, but I will be pissed if they start adding more colors to the mix. The pallette for the RS is stupid limited. Stealth Gray, for the record. I like non-metallics.

I am usually “meh” when the Jalop community gets all huffy and puffy about safety and “don’t try this at home,” etc. You know, because hypocrisy. However...

Who the hell is stupid enough to get into a 200 MPH car with a t-shirt? And a loose harness attached to a sketchy-looking bar and not a full cage? And who thinks…

I was under the impression that the Mitsubishi keiretsu no longer held sway over Mitsubishi Motors and that the big Mitsubishi bank and Mitsubishi Heavy seemed to want no part of the automotive business in recent years, so their shares have dwindled. It seems that Carlos Ghosn gets to call the shots there now.

Doesn’t Nissan already have their hooks in Mitsubishi?

Details on your $1,800 per year Brooklyn insurance, please. From what I know from insurance people, and from personal experience pricing some policies years ago, isn’t Brooklyn supposed to be among the most expensive places to insure a car in the U.S.?

What sort of $250 per month pile are you insuring for that much?

Came here to read about the first Focus RS getting nicked somewhere and disappearing to South America or something...and found this?

Meh.

How often does sarcasm escape you?

Okay, enough of political satire let’s get on with today’s candidate, which is located in the great state of Hawaii, the state where President Obama was allegedly born.

Well, the Focus RS only displaces 2.3 liters, so it should still slide in safely under that high-capacity drift ban.

Newflash: All Smart cars are mutants.

What about the Hellcat? I wonder if that driveline is even remotely in compliance when going all out for a 10-second pass. Somehow, I doubt it.
