I'm assuming they switched to the angular ExxonMobil branding in the US but kept the old Esso logo everywhere else?

God I love those upright pontoons.

I think it's just a quick makeover away from being gorgeous. My main issue with it is that they went full-on retro with the details rather than doing the Spyker/Bristol sort of modern timeless thing the car's blend of old/modern styling warrants (look at that greenhouse there's no way to sell that as a classic). Get…

brace for the miatapocalypse

This post from someone dropping some science on Radio Le Mans suggests the difference might be small enough now that the fastest LMP1s might be fast enough to actually qualify within 107% and get on an F1 starting grid (apart from the whole being completely illegal under F1 technical regulations bit of course).

Roughly 80% of my interest in the Need for Speed movie is from that bit in the trailer where a Veyron actually looks nervous. Like, knowing that the car weighs as much as an aircraft carrier and seeing it skitter around like that was the first time I truly understood the whole 1200bhp thing on a primal level.

I also hope they put a diaper on him because lord knows I'd need one.

I know Ford named a giant truck after them and all but raptors were only about the height of a man and really light and nimble. Hence the full 'velociraptor' which is Latin for the rather spectacular power metal band name SPEEDMURDER*. This is more of a 3/4 size T-rex or one of those off-brand T-Rexalikes like a…

No way, distant second to Saints Row IV.

Yeah the logo says Ultra HD (though at 82 inches that means it's still playing catch-up to class-leading phone and tablet sized panels density-wise).

The R sits in this weird situation where it's a much more expensive car wearing a less iconic and desirable badge than the GTI. And apart from the OG R32's tasty bodykit the styling's always trying to differentiate itself in gaudy and terrible ways. The MK5 GTI was gorgeous in its Unpimpen zie Auto white, the R32 felt…

I'm hoping for a BRZ boxster powered SRT/8 Challenger, personally.

More like the show finally matches the 944's distressing lack of go.

The original Ka is basically a Lotus Europa with the body mounted backwards. It's got the same engine and amazingly only weighs 110kg more in spite of lavish equipment like An Airbag and adjustable headrests. Lovely little city rally car.

I was going to argue about the middle one because back when it was introduced in the early '90s in non-fruity colors and applied to a suitably speedy 300ZX the Veilside Z32 kit was actually kind of badass in an old school kind of way until I noticed the front spoiler was four feet off the ground, the rear spoiler is…

Because in about five years' time it'll be the old "M3" and it'll be cheap too.

Fun fact: outside of the US where blank media charges only apply to media specifically labeled and marketed as music blanks a lot of countries actually charge levees on all blank CD/DVD/BR-Rs regardless of intended use. For a lot of western European nations these levees are >100% of the media's original cost. (which…

I'll be all sitting at this $2000 triple monitor, tri-SLI monster agonizing over some game being two dollars more than I'd like.

Remember the Z8 cost the equivalent of a 911 plus a Boxster, or three and a half Z3 M Roadsters. And reportedly wasn't as good to drive as any of those.

Don't forget the time he punched Frank Ocean.
