I'm eagerly waiting until next year to buy a pristine GTR in Japan, send it to Omori Factory for the works, ship it back to the US, and mark one car off my five car list. The others get progressively more expensive (barn find Lancia Stratos anyone?) An R32 has been on the list since I saw the Greddy R32 in a modified…

I'll be the contrarian. Lame. These videos are lame. The only thing compelling about them is that they are completely unobtainable cars being used in inappropriate ways. What I see is tens of thousands of dollars of damage being done to ultra-rare cars, just they can. The extreme end of wasteful consumption. This…

You think that he was still in conservation mode when Vettel was hunting for the pass?

I'd be pissed if I was Webber, but you harden up, pull out the talent and hold the lead. Vettel got by.

Blah blah tldr; what? Paris Kardashian Brangelina did what?

As a Texan of Finnish descent, I'll take that as some kind of double-compliment. Once a Texan always a Texan. Texans also have sisu.

I agree that the economics currently don't work out. I never bought a hybrid for this exact reason, but I'm glad that people do. The economics do start to work out around $5-6/gallon gas prices. We need to invest in future technologies because oil is not an indefinitely sustainable resource, and regardless of how much…

Cool, and you must build rockets all the time, after making iPhones and LED TV's in your spare time. Familiarity breeds contempt. It's still amazing. NASA isn't going to to get more funding anytime soon. There are no plans to go back to the moon, so companies like SpaceX have to fill in the gaps. SpaceX still has a…

Please, let's belittle some seriously fucking amazing engineering because Musk is too cocky for a billionaire who builds rocket ships and started a new car company that we can't belittle for being vaporware anymore so we find new digs. Old news Jalopnik. Old news. Musk could walk on water and Jalopnik would post a…

Strongly agreed. The comment format experiment is a failure.

Actually, the Lambo was a bold and creative exercise that will forever put smiles on three eccentric millionaires faces. The P1 will likely be the laptime king, and this? This is frankly a bit dull. It isn't very cohesive. What's with the intentionally large rear panel gaps on the rear clamshell? I also can't ever…

I agree 100%. Even the cars that were trying to be appliances occasionally required tinkering back in the day, and something like a Countach or a 911 Turbo both scared you and required real man skills to drive. Now the supercars are all accessories that don't scare you too much until your dead, and the appliances are…

How did this ever make it past a design review? Please tell me that this is some rich dude with terrible tastes pet project and no one from Lambo was actually involved.

It's a different class of car. I've owned tons of American cars, but there's no f'ing way I'd ever buy a cobalt. VW buyers are typically cross shopping luxury brands. I'm too old to play boy-racer anymore, but I'd buy a GTI.

It must be incredibly frustrating being a designer at GM. You design something beautiful, you bring it to a comittee meeting, and you're told "that's too radical, show us something a little less cohesive, add some cheesy details, we can't be too classy. After all, this is a Corvette. Remember your target audience." 

This is the answer to the most depreciated car QOTD. In fact, I would imagine that any money spent at West Coast Customs probably has a negative return, returning zero value plus depreciating the original vehicle. 

From this angle, you get a perfect view of the terrible new commenting system that solves no problems, is impossible to navigate on an iPhone, and is just terrible, terrible, terrible. Please fire whatever UX director approved this. It is different for the sake of being different ... and terrible. 

The Cobra was still a terribly handling car. Did SCCA championships ever really count for anything?

I'm happy he built it and hope he sells plenty. If he can get a cover article in EVO, kudos to him.

Rays makes a lot of wheels. I'm sure that they've got something you'd like, but I agree that their wheels often look distinctly aftermarket and boy-racer.
