"Aside from that little disappointment"? That "little" disappointment changed me from a probable buyer to a lost sale.

So when's Musk opening diplomatic relations with China?

Maximum driver height is 6'. Maximum rear passenger height is 4'.

It's a really good car, if you're a fan of throttle-on understeer and subsequent snap oversteer, once you let off to let the tires hook.

Makes me wonder how much craziness happens in the US that never gets recorded. I bought this one, only $25. If you even need it once, it pays itself off. Cheapest insurance you can buy, IMO.

CP. Mod V8 is one of the worst engines ever made.

You missed the biggest question: Can I get it sans slush? If it's not manual, I'm not touching it.

*PUT*PUT*PUT*PUT*WHAT? I CAN'T YOU.*PUT*PUT*PUT*PUT*FORD STILL HASN'T FIXED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ISSUE FROM 1998.*PUT*PUT*PUT*PUT*

"Big cable"? It's no bigger than a fuel line (of which there are 2, one supply, one return), or the hydraulic brake lines. Hell, the wiring wiring for that car has to be massive compared to any other lines in it.

For me to buy Musk's story, I want to a lawsuit filed for libel.

9 tabs and all you can see is favicons? What are you running 800 x 600 resolution?

You need a background check to buy a gun. Why not a car that is statistically multiple times more likely to cause harm?

I agree, not to mention the shit that's starting to fill up my RSS feed. Bad move, Gawker.

I strongly recommend against Tor. It really doesn't have the bandwidth to support to streaming and even if you can stream smoothly it's just against etiquette to use the bandwidth that people donate.

That's a diesel pump. It's green, has no fume guard, can be locked (at least in MA) where petrol cannot, and it flows faster than a gasoline pump.

"Hey, let's spam your RSS feed so we can tell you how to have your notifications spammed!"

The 302 is popular but that's one engine. The SBC is an entire family. And I can totally see how Mazda selling a rebadged Escape renders a Ford engine more appropriate for an RX-7....

Top Gear also knows shit about cars. You know how often I need to hear people ramble on about the Mustang's suspension, when they learned everything they know from Clarkson who knows shit.

For something this custom, I'd go SBC, just for sheer amount of aftermarket support.

Also, if nothing's holding your car in place, a lot of times sheer wheel speed will move you. I think my speedo was at 50+ getting into my driveway last night.
