Not really, it is more to do with xenophobia, bigotry and narrow minded self interest. However the fishy bit is thus: Back in the mists of the past lots of people went to sea in small boats and caught fish. People who did not want drown bought the fish and ate them. The boats got a LOT bigger and caught many more…

Still Giggle at VAG

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a debadged 911 turbo. Or GTS.
Cayennes sometimes, but never the turbo ones. They’re too easy to spot anyway, I think.

Where as in the US, specifically Massachusetts where I live, dealers all stick those lame dealer stickers on the back. I told the sales person I didn’t want a sticker and he still tried to sneak one on in my last car. At least with the dealer license plate holders, it is an easy removal.

Thanks for the kind words - I’ll check it out. Just started posting on my Kinja - need to be a bit more consistent and put something up everyday.

I found the first video unwatchable. Too many cuts, too quickly. I kept finding myself watching a car, anticipating it completing its line around a corner, only to have it interrupted by a cut, and for no good reason.

I think they give you a great feel of how fast the cars are going during the shots, they tend to be posted up around a tight technical section whereas the helo shots are both tight and big open top speed sections. Also the drone shots seem to play with the speed of the video a little more then a live feed from a helo.

The huge advantage for drones is cost, though. A helecopter may give a different perspective, but for the cost of one (pilot plus cameraman at a minimum for crew, plus usage of a several hundred thousand to multi million dollar machine), you could have a lot of drones with the ability to cover much more of the race.

I think you misunderstood. This guy threatening your life is actually a sincere cry out for a discussion about ethics in gaming journalism.

Mandatory 6-point harness?

Yup, except the article isn’t well informed. The Kwid crashed there was a prototype, which, as you point out, failed pretty catastrophically.

About 17 years ago a very dumb kid (me), was going very fast down the 101 Freeway with no traffic at around 3:30 am in a brand new Prelude Type SH, another very dumb person in a very clapped-out Civic SI came up and started to race, we were going fast... I was powered by the pride that a young man has in a new car he…

Can we get a tally of all the Jalopnik collusion conspiracy theories:

I think it looks exciting and the camera work seems to be pretty damn nice.I don’t care about whether it lives up to real Top Gear because we’ve got CHM too. People who are angry and bitter and are looking for reasons to hate this are misguided. We’ll have two over-budgeted beautiful automotive shows getting shoved at…

Unpopular opinion:

everywhere in the world besides most of the unided states, cars get a yearly review.
