If I absolutely had too...
Frank Kurtis and no one else
@skay¢og: Your telling me, I didn't even see the sneaky bastard, and crapped my pants when I saw his lights. At least I didn't get the Camaro treatment.
@skay¢og: Depending on where you are it can be anywhere from 60 - 75 mph. Right now through Eagle County the interstate speed is 75mph.
Was going about 80 into south Denver in a 2000 F150 4x4. It had snowed 3 days before, so there were still some remnants on the lines in between lanes, but the lanes themselves were 100% clear. There was an accident up about a half mile and a fire engine had the left two lanes blocked (with no cones, warnings, nothing…
Out here in Colorado, especially up in the mountains, they have unmarked Ford explorers with lights embedded in the luggage racks (or ski racks). There are a lot of fun roads up in the mountains to thrash, but when I see one of those SUV's sitting still or coming in the opposite direction, I pretty much crap my pants…
@01NB: smug emitting bastard: All I heard in this entire post was: "I don't drive the car, but I just point it in the general direction I want to go and it does the rest."
@Flathead Smith: If you put a "Type R" sticker on it, you'll gain at least 15hp. That homo in the BMW can't touch that...
I have played hockey since I was 5. Every single rink I played in that had a POS Olympia ice resurfacing machine, had really crappy ice.

I think this about sums it up:
@calzonegolem: Nah I don't think so, it's only a decal...
@egoods: ""real" racing fans (none of that nascar oval track BS)"
@egoods: I hope you'll be able to see the race through all the smug
"but we think they're perfectly happy watching other fans drivers get hurt"
@Sportwagons, haulin' stuff and haulin' balls: AKA: scrubbing speed...
"Anyone have any idea what could cause this?"
@Matt Farah: My friend who owns one and I agree with you. We went to radio shack and got some magnetic antennas to put on the trunk lid, and it looks close enough that if you are going mach 3 in the left lane, nobody will care because they are all slamming on their brakes and getting over.
While I hate to admit this, and it might very well get me thrown off Jalopnik, the most fun I've had in an affordable 4-door sedan was with a Mazda3 S sedan. It was actually entertaining to drive down winding roads like your ass was on fire and jamming through the gears to downshift around corners instead of…
