The contract didn't get ripped up that I can remember, but yeah there was a lot of, it's canceled, now it's on, now it's canceled again.....*shrug* I get to go see the one in Austin this year, and really couldn't care less about a race in NJ so, meh.

.......why don't Americans like diesel again? That is a beautiful exhaust note!

Like these but with the cover in bright red?

Amen sir, well said.

Yup, to say nothing of what would happen during holidays when the charging stations would be full and you'd have worse wait times to get access to a socket than we currently have to get a pump in similar situations. The concept seems fine for a small number of users, but is severely flawed for use in large scale.

I'm with you. Unless I'm stopping for lunch or something in addition to gas, my gas stops are 15min or less.

It does! But then, it seems there are only so many ways to design a lifting-body craft.

Lol, Never said anything about Nannying the car, I'd happily drive ti daily and use it like a normal car, I'd simply be selective about where I'd park it. It wouldn't eliminate the possibilities of dings and such, nor is there any way to do as such without, as you said, bubble wrapping the thing. However parking in…

Short answer; no...long answer; hell no! If I could use parking garages and such I'd consider it, but on the street no one seems to care if they ding your car. And to me, getting a ding in that car would be like defacing a priceless work of art. This is not to say I wouldn't daily drive that car here, I would and…

True, and honestly I think the distinction is a bit silly. My only point was that if you carry something like a taser and use it thinking it'll be treated like pepper spray in a court of law, you are mistaken. In most states it's not a big deal, and the difference is negligible but in some tasers are treated closer to…

Yeah I remember reading about one of those conversions several years back. They stuffed the engine and driveline from the SVT Cobra into the 3dr Focus hatch. I remember the article starting off with the line "there are cars that are fun to drive and make you smile when you're behind the wheel......and then there are…

Unless you're running abnormally high compression pistons and/or really aggressive timing in an N/A engine, or high boost in a FI setup, higher octane fuel will actually hurt your performance rather than help it. All an octane rating tells you is that it has a higher detonation point thus resisting knock better. It…

Because tasers, like the one you pictured, are not classified as a non-lethal weapon due to the fact that repeated shocks from it become more likely to become lethal with each subsequent blast. So yes, it is a "Less-lethal" weapon. Non-lethal would be things like pepper spray, or if we are sticking with electronic…

You mean less lethal, cause those things can still kill someone under the right circumstances. Same for bean bag and rubber slug rounds.

But this one goes with their accessories!

Since y'all have already mentioned seat time at autocross events, I'll say tires. Without a good set of sticky tires, all the power and suspension modifications in the world won't help you. They are your car's points of contact with the road, and if those suck, then you might as well be driving on Teflon.

Exactly. Without telling us what kind of particulates, this article is less than useless. Good for a laugh, I suppose, but not much else.

Another vote for the Daytona coupe here.

I'll see your "La Grange" and raise you "Waitin' on the Bus"

Yeah, our guys in Norway get something like that as well.....the lucky bastards. To be honest though, I'm more than happy with my 3 weeks of vacation + another week and a half or so of holidays throughout the year.
