I live in WA so...yea. I think our dealers probably carry 4x the stock of those elsewhere in the country, what with all the hippies and lesbians and such. It's pretty awesome. Wife is currently out gallivanting around in her 2013 Outback 2.5 Premium, and I'm obviously cataloging everything I own to see if I can sell…

I did a photoshoot with a Countach and an F40 once. Here's a video I got of two cars together, exclusively, that you won't see very often, as they set up for my shoot...

I didn't get as close as I would like, but hopefully you can see where I was going with this.

It will likely do what it was designed to do with unparalleled competence.

Patrick, have you ever driven a late model grand prix? Torque steer is non existent, even in the v8 versions. It also had a progressive steering rack which worked flawlessly, most people who owned the car didn't know about it simply due to how intuitive it worked.

Yep.. Saw a couple docs about how they made it.. Lots of stunt drivers, spinout specialists.. All of it! Worked out into some pretty visceral scenes..

I think it's entirely possible that they took all sorts of math and science classes multiple times.

Right here at the 1.5 second mark, the Civic thoughtfully flips its hood up in front of the driver, thus sparing him the fright of HOLY FUCK I'M HEADED FOR THE WALL AGAIN!!!!

Understeer ftw! I wish more Youtube videos were like this. Get straight to the point, so in a 6 minute video you aren't watching cars zoom around for 5 minutes and 45 seconds and 15 seconds of crash.

Reminds me of the crash in the movie Me Mans...

I like the way the hood immediately pops up to protect the cabin occupants from flying debris. Nice piece of safety engineering.

It's funny you make this comparison (I lol'd) because I am sitting in a doctor's office right now playing Angry Birds. Great minds.

I'm not sure what this picture says more about. The indestructible-ness of the Isuzu (read: Envoy/Trailblazer/insert everything else here) or the construction quality of the building in question.

This won't really be as much of an issue as you'd imagine...

Google take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Google take the wheel
... that's how that goes right?

Nice post. Enjoyed reading.

Scudi: Surprised they let you on this trailer.

Two of my grandfather's last two cars were Chevrolet Citations; an '81 he bought used and liked enough that he bought an '85 new.

That's exactly why he has it... It's always filled with tools and he's alway hauling stuff around in it (industrial lighting designer). And he's right, the thing is perfect; cavernous with the seats down, a ton of plastic he doesn't have to worry about destroying and has a small entertainment value with the 5-speed…

That's a good reason, I've always thought to have a crap car I could never get emotionally attached to just for this specific reason and to save the nice cars from that sort of treatment.
