Now for some actual tips:

Yeah, that's good solid American logic. "This guy's machine is loud. I can't even hear NPR! He should die!"

Unbeknownst to many, the idea of GM doing restoration for classic Corvettes was brought up in the Significantly Loved and Well-known cars (SLOW) management committee focus group at GM in 1999. Since then, the idea has moved out of the focus group phase and was approved by the committee management in 2002. The idea…

Absolutely. I assume you'll be filming from a car? I would go with the Motorsports package; it'll have everything you need, which is mostly the suction cup mount. You can mount that thing just about anywhere on a car - any glass or any smooth metal area. If you're going to mount it on an exposed vertical area…

Haha. Maybe. I would bet the Mustang easily moves enough volume to pay for itself. Now, I would certainly buy the argument that the Mustang V6 is paying for the GT500, though.

I think you'd get a very strong argument that there are many better, more interesting 5 seaters out there, but for your second statement, you're absolutely correct. Camry sales built the LFA. Truck/SUV sales build the Corvette. And so on with every car company.

Bland and ugly as it is, it's somewhat interesting from the standpoint that GM appears to be working really hard at controlling the aero around the vehicle. The fenders and hood attempt to channel more air around the sides of the vehicle (rather than over the top, presumably for less lift). They also are using the…

Our culture often does a remarkably bad job of conveying the possibility that ignorance is death.

Also, Siler, if you haven't seen this; vic06 actually has #twowheelsgood on the front of his R6 track bike: [jalopnik.com]

Congress would like to report that their rug and broom are working quite well, thank you. Now carry on ignoring the obvious.

I wholly agree. The Ferrari is only about 200lbs lighter than my '12 Mustang GT, the Ferrari has less torque, and has a more favorable (for traction) MR arrangement. So I can say with at least somewhat relevant experience that there's no way you lose control at 25mph unless you turn the TC all the way off, punch the…

It's also clear that he was traveling at a high rate of speed, such that (likely combined with following too closely) 1) he couldn't brake in time to avoid the silver car, and 2) because the entire left front of that Ferrari is sheered straight off. I've seen impacts with solid-mounted poles that don't cause that…

... ok. From your computer over the internet, you clearly have a better understanding of the accident than the professionals who were at the scene and reconstructed it. Obviously they're all wrong, and that Ferrari wouldn't have had to swerve into the other lane if the motorcycle wasn't speeding. Clearly the…

If they weren't speeding and driving like asses, then they wouldn't have lost control in the first place. "But for" causation. Given the limit of 25mph, you'd think even an "understeering pig" could maintain control.

60mph on water? I'm calling BS. That jet pump is mounted FAR too high. Even at low speeds, as the picture shows, it's barely in the water, and that's only because the bow wave closes in behind it. Jet pumps don't produce thrust like a turbine does - the output must be in the water to achieve sufficient driving…

I'd love to hear how that's relevant when another vehicle crosses the yellow line into his lane. Particularly given that the investigation has pointed no blame at the rider at all.

Bernie will have a check in the mail to you on Monday.

Despite being an unabashed, greedy jerk of an old man in his later years, Carroll was undeniably one of the greatest American car legends ever. He created the most iconic and most widely replicated race car of all time in the Shelby Cobra. He then built, in his small race shop, one of the greatest under appreciated…

Honestly, for an unimproved street car (at least, I can't see any cage), that car looks VERY good considering it's rolled and cleared a freakin wall. Props to GM and modern car safety standards; most rolled street cars look like pancakes even after one single rotation.
