@Rä¢inG73 - ain't nuthin' but a G73 thang: Isn't Ron Dennis retired? Isn't Flavio Briatore innactive?

@AMGkiller: You don't count Max Mosley? The Red Bull guys are serious about proving they're devoid of character too.

I remember Pastrana's first 250 super cross at Daytona beach. He is a tremendous talent and character. I had no idea he had won 4 national rally championships, 22 races, and more than 150 rally stages. NASCAR has the highest concentration of talented drivers, the biggest audience, and the most money. Travis belongs in…

@philaDLJ: Don't take it personally. Ray makes being wrong an art.

@Rusty Van Horn: I'd have liked to have heard how the would-be test Tundra was damaged. Sabotage by Ford so they could get some good press before the Tundra can be evaluated?

You know those news stories about people getting killed for $75 and their wedding bands? What a shame. Oh, the humanity! Now imagine reading about this POS getting popped for the $600,000 he brags about carrying around in his car.

Considering that the Federal Reserve printed 600 billion dollars while everyone was distracted by the elections last week, I wouldn't take their check either.

@VeeArrrSix: It is almost worth reading "The Coming Insurrection" just to understand how completely demoralized the French really are. Nothing about this account was surprising, including that this guy had previously been slapped on the wrist for acts of terrorism.

@I love me some cleavage: You drive your car to impress other people? That's quaint.

@Peugeot 504 - the Car for Nigeria: Are there any running Mondials left? Cheap Ferraris still cost $11 a mile to operate, so nobody does.

@danio3834: Hustle may be over-selling it. They were about as quick as today's mainstream SUVs. It would be fun to stage a race between a stock '94 Roadmaster and a stock 2011 V6 Highlander. I bet the creepy kid from the ad would end up smugger than he is now after any event other than a demolition derby.

@EyeMWing: You make them sound like Al Gore. At least their product is better.

@jp182: No. I was a little kid in the '70s, and fake wood was about as cool then as still having an Obama sticker on your car is now. The LT-1 in the Buick was not the one in the Corvette of the day. It had 260 hp - an amount that would get you laughed out of the V6 family car market today in a barge that weighed…

@jeffro: Thanks! I didn't know they went into bankruptcy at the time, just that I continued to see new International trucks in later years.

Brazilians are shifty by nature.

One summer in college I came close to straight trading my Festiva for a 1973 Porsche 911T. The dealership I was working for was taking it as a trade in and showing the same amount as wholesale on my car would be. Fortunately for everyone involved, the grad student with the extra Porsche was smarter than we were giving…

@Lahjik: What are Stormchasers trying to understand? What are they hoping to do with this new understanding about predictable storms? We don't even have the stomach to use soup suds to influence devastating hurricanes. Five minutes warning about tornado movements wouldn't be enough time to minimize economic harm. We…

@Scoutch: I recall that article. I suppose it is pretty convincing evidence that many Scouts were sold by stand alone light truck dealers.

The comments on the WXYZ site are the most interesting aspect of this. It seems like there are a large number of disillusioned people in 'Detoilet!'

@Ralph Wiley Is Poised: I know IH didn't go out of business. I must not have written clearly enough, but my question was whether or not Scouts had their own dealer body, separate from IH medium duty trucks and farm equipment dealers that obviously remained in business.
