Dude, seriously, Xanax is your friend. Look into it. Wound kinda tight much? LoL It's just a little auto related humor. I forget that not every auto story I respond to is actually ON Jalopnik, some get cross-linked from, ohhh... I don't know, Lifehacker, or worse, Gawker. lol Just relax, take deep breaths... in…

I think in full-on FnF "style" it's pronounced, NAAAWWWWWS! If you say it wrong you won't get any FnF teen street-cred.

Agreed. Sorry, but unless you're 14 and just learning to drive, if you didn't know this already you deserve to run out of gas or spend and eternity circling the gas pumps trying to figure out how the hell to get the hose to reach over the top of your car.

It is refreshing huh!

I am totally glad they stuck those big "Pre-Test" and "Post-Test" stickers all over the cars because I would completely have missed the HUGE F*CKING CRUSHED portions of the car and I would've never been able to figure out the whole "before/after" thing. Thanks .Gov!

See? We can all get along. Now lets hug it out. Lol. You guys have a good one. I've got to actually do a little work today. Hehehe

All the while, two MORE people have "recommended" my post! Ooooh, the tension fills the air, the suspense mounts.... I can hardly bear it!

Whatever you say Chief. Sounded like wheelspin to my old ears. Either way, I wasn't criticizing, only noting for the record, my immense jealousy. lol And, yeah, I suppose it would also be worth noting his immense pair of bronze balls driving that beast at either 1) rev limit or B) past limit of traction, i.e.…

I'm just dying to know what happened to that lawn tractor. Damn thing looks like it *almost* stayed on the trailer. Well, initially anyway...

Cool. I'm just overwhelmed with the desire to scream, "Shift! Shift!" as he bangs off the rev limiter though. *shrugs* No biggie though, it's his car. Bang away, and color me jealous.

LOL, well it wasn't quite "new'. I bought it in October 2011 and it was sold in April 2009. So it was about a year and half old AND, more importantly to me, had suffered that 1 1/2 years of new car depreciation. It stickered at $33k but I didn't pay anywhere near that.

Thanks. lol Being a "car guys" runs in our family. My grandfather was, my dad was, I am.. and, of course, my son is as well. I told my wife if he was born and it turns out he wasn't a gear head, I was going to track down our old mailman. lol

I checked this morning, the bids are up to $9,951 USD but, unfortunately, his reserve hasn't yet been met. I added this car to my watch list on eBay because I'm really interested, in light of the generally spirited conversations here at Jalop about it's value, in what it finally does (or doesn't) sell for and…

Ya know what? You ARE right. I get a little cranky in the afternoons and, in re-reading my post after your comment pointed this out, I was indeed a little harsh. Basically, what it boils down to is the car is worth exactly what someone will pay for it. Not a penny more or less.

OH yeah, me likey. *thumbsup*

Although from admittedly more than a few years ago, having several of my friends screwed royally by Hennessey when he was doing mostly Corvettes, my personal opinion of the guy is fairly low and I'd never give him a dollar of my money. With that said, I'd trip an old lady down a flight of stairs to get that car in my…

Hey, I think it's funny because I had an '01 Camaro SS that had those exact same wheels and that was my first thought when I saw them too. Well, not the *exact* same wheels... mine were CHROME baby! (...but, in my defense, they were also fitted with DOT legal drag radials. you know, for the occasional, ummm, err,…

The boy's car on the day we were buying it. Kids. He's sitting in the background, both he and his girlfriend (at the time... he doesn't keep them long, lol) texting, I think. Although, in his defense, on that day he was texting and tweeting pics of his new ride to pretty much every living, breathing soul on the…

Thing is, this seller doesn't want $8k for it. There's one bid at 8 thousand that doesn't meet the seller's reserve. Time will tell but who knows WHAT the reserve is set at, and then after that the buyer can figure out *why* the seller apparently won't try and start it vaguely stating it "turns over freely" after he…

2009 RX8 R3, Velocity Red Mica. That's what I bought my boy for his first car. Which was a little ironic considering his mother drove a '93 RX7 R1 the entire time she was pregnant with him. Watching her waddle down into that car (and better back out) when she was 9 months along was HIII-larious. lol I see the…
