You sir! How dare you post pictures of my future wife on here?!?!?

Yeah, I don't know what it is either. The tires and exhaust say it's something somebody cared about, but I'm not sure what. It's not an old awd Caravan, is it?

Did Jaguar give any explanation as to why they cut the tires like that, other than to look cool? I'm assuming not, but for all I know there's some actual tech behind the design.

Answered my own question. Here's how the cantilever shock/spring setup looks from the side:

So is it a coil-over setup?

For me, total crack pipe. For somebody looking for a gator themed donk (I'm sure the market is huge) it's probably not too bad a price. At least it doesn't have a toilet in it.

Good grief, it looks like a semen grenade went off in my apartment. I like old muscle cars, I like cars with big power that can actually put it down, I like race cars made from street cars, and apparently I like widebody Pontiacs. I can't believe a 700 hp Trans Am could be so planted...

On paper, the 5th gen Camaro SS is a bad roadtrip car, considering that doesn't get great mileage, has a relatively small trunk, basically no back seat, poor visibility, and you're hair will get to know the headliner really well if you're me. I did a small roadtrip in a rental on my honey moon (an optioned out SS)

So the ball-bank indicator is like a surveying measuring tape, nobody uses it unless you need need the interns to go do it?

Do these come standard with a back-up camera? If they don't, they totally should.

I can't immediately find my notes on it, but I want to say the ball-bank indicator is a variable thing. I remember something from class where X degrees was OK for one situation, and Y degrees for another. Does the sight distance for prima face limits take into account the distance between the road and surrounding

Man, don't ruin my argument with facts and logic! I was pretty tired when I wrote that, and trying to get through wastewater treatment homework. I agree with what you're saying, and correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the standards for grip for advisory speed limits, and a lot of the 85th percentile speed studies

The guy used to be a rally driver, and is currently a co-driver, therefore automatic badass status achieved.

It is true that poorly maintained cars won't do as well, but at the same time, I don't like the idea of handicapping speed limits for poorly maintained cars. For one, there are always cars on the road that shouldn't be, so if you wanted to make the speed OK for those derelicts, you could keep lowering the speed to

Which makes the current levels even more ridiculous.

That's not to say that the Afroduck situation is OK. I didn't watch the video, and I'm commenting on what constitutes reckless driving in general.

Here's the problem I have with this discussion. A lot of people are drawing the line between recklessness and "safe" driving at the speed limit. The thing is, the speed limits currently in place are were designed for an age of bias play tires, manual drum brakes, and optional sway bars. Recklessness is defined as
