I love that everyone has their laptop out and nobody is paying attention to the speaker. Staged announcements FTW.

This is what a Swedish street race car is supposed to look and sound like.

The design of the first commercial airliner optimized aerodynamic drag reduction. Any change to the general shape will give you drag penalties. Not such a big deal on cars since they go about 65 mph a WAY MORE FREAKIN' HUGE deal on planes since they go 500 mph. Drag increases with the square of velocity ala:

Driving at the limit is how I drive the back roads around where I live in the country side. The main requirement is that you know the roads like the back of your hand and are honestly willing to crash. I have personally been off the road unintentionally 6 times in half as many years (including one time where I knocked…

I'm assuming those are the company standards in Japan, similar to our CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standards in the US. CAFE standards for 2025 is 54.5 mpg. But CAFE uses a lab to calculate MPG and this 54.5 translates to an equivalent 36 MPG on window stickers in 2025. Probably the same as Japanese…

I'm impressed with the way he drove the piss out of that car... talk about car control, while shifting all those gears!

YAY, more model diversity!

It looks so unassuming till the launch control kicks on.

Just use this to get them back.

No doubt the biker was being truly unsafe, but it is not the cop's job to tackle and head lock a guy who's only punishable offenses are careless driving and causing a fender bender.

A friend of mine bought a 2000 audi s4 for about $6500. He started doing necessary maintenance and threw on some minor mods like exhaust, intake piping and some suspension (which is outrageously expensive on that platform) and then proceeded to TOTAL the car one day in a spectacular front end collision. Insurance paid…

I am sorry to say that I completely disagree. I prefer a manual in traffic because it keeps me attentive. I have driven a Rav4 (auto, of course) to work (about 3o minutes of bad traffic) for the past 2 years and it is driving me absolutely insane. The level of boredom is infuriating and I have taken to selecting all 5…

I just sold my Mazdaspeed3 that I have had for nearly 3 years. I have owned fast Hondas for years before that (civic si, integra gsr, gsr swapped civic hatch), but this one is the one taught me the limits of FWD when it comes to enjoying driving. When I first bought it, it was a revelation in FWD. The factory LSD did…

10.3 miles, so it's a pretty good loop.

For a more spectacular "drive around a lake" option, head out to Crater Lake and take Rim Road around the nation's deepest lake.

It's only fitting that you should take that German beast to the Green Hell of the PNW: the so-called "Newbergring" near my home town of Newberg. Head out to Hagg Lake and drive around it.

It looks like he was at Fuchsrohre (the fox hole). He is coming out of an extremely high speed, left hand bend. I don't seem much in the way of downforce on the car, so he was probably already quite loose before he got to the crest and all his grip disappeared at that point.

I once received a Caliber as a rental. It was a terrible CVT car. BUT, that car had the best factory stereo in it I have ever heard. This is probably the only reason I can see for buying a Caliber, but it just might be enough for some people.

A racing driver really does not need to be concerned with much that is going on above the horizon. Other cars are pretty much the only possible thing I can think of, and they are usually on the ground. Really, a racing driver only needs to see where that car is on the track. The track that is on the ground.

Everything I've read says this thing is the cat's meow. Integra type R
