Promote button is dead... that's a screw.

I watched most of the race. For the most part, they didn't butcher it quite as bad as I was expecting... until they started talking about rain. A couple rain drops fall and DW starts talking about how he'd want to be on rains. Facepalm. Otherwise, having Calvin and Leigh in the pits tremendously improved the…

That is seriously impressive driving. GM needs to up that guy's pay. He was on the absolute limit for that entire lap.

'tis a silly place.

Jalopnik? What's a jalopnik?

If you read carefully, they aren't balanced at 60*, that's simply the best angle for minimizing primary vibration. As you note, there are still secondaries to deal with. Any engine configuration can have any inherent imbalance cancelled out via balancer shafts or special engine mounts or whatever, but all of those…

That sounds like total ass. I hope for the sake of all that is good BMW hasn't finished their acoustic engineering.

I'll be waiting for when the captions for this get set to the Hitler angry breakdown movie scene.

This is so ridiculous I can't even joke about it. I know there are some untapped markets out there, but selling $125 face cream to Meineke customers is about as wise as attempting to sell any other Meineke product at a Beverly Hills salon. Say it with me: market crossover. You're doing it wrong.

Geography has nothing to do with the color of one's neck. I know rednecks from New York, California, Alabama, and all points in between.

ESPN uses Brits for the EPL coverage. Natives cover their own sport better; what a concept. Which is why Speed should use Diffey and not two rednecks who make NASCAR broadcasts painful to hear.

"Here's hoping they don't screw it up."

Last year, but close.

Indeed, nothing to see here...

While absolutely true, what happened in the last couple years was unprecedented for "private" companies. You literally had government-appointed administrators come in and take over daily operations, directed business decision-making, using entirely government funds, while the government effectively assumed the debt.

Now this is interesting. The Executive branch of the government has taken a very strong-handed approach with the automakers during the past couple years, one where, in many instances, the line between private company and government-control was so blurred even most of the people involved couldn't tell you which was…

Yeah, I mean, I don't mind a bit of color on Jalopnik but my gosh, there's not even a paragraph about the truck. This site is supposed to be at least sorta-related to cars and car-related stuff. So, you know, what kind of truck is it? Gas or diesel? Manual trans? Chrome rims? I'd be funny for the ridiculousness…
