Having only read the title of the article, I thought it was Chevrolet (can't call them Chevy anymore, it's not PC) being all protective of their fragile self-esteem with the Volt being referred to derogatorily by some famous douche bag.
In regards to pic #2.
Do you think St. Peter has lines based on the hilarity/fittingess of your final moments on earth. Old age and the big C would just be like security at the airport, designed to check everyone's legit, but do so in a quick and efficient manner. Then this would fall under the Irony line where you have to go through a…
@crankyshaft: Two birds? I only see two wings and a douche bag. Must be one of those pictures you can see multiple images in. I'll start looking for the birds right after I find this god-damned sailboat in this picture at the mall.
@eatadonut: To avoid missed shifts think of it as an automatic trans with individually, manually controlled shifts, and a clutch instead of a torque converter. Most commonly called a Lenko Transmission after the main provider of them. Like the Kleenex of drag racing transmissions. Now that your good and confused I'll…
@Organiczero: "having fun with laws of physics"
At first I was like "Holy Shit!"
Don't worry Ray, Mother Nature just understands your need for some dragony alone time with some CF goodness.
@gochomoe: With the large number of non-NASCAR motorsports fans here on Jalopnik I think I can say this without risking too much recoil.
@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: I think they simply went "Hey, the circle race tracks are really easy to model, and since it is the car of tomorrow we only have to model a single car to include the whole series. We'll just cut and paste the stickers."
@Ferndown: On the 3rd time through, I see what you mean. It's not necessarily the car, but more of sub-par audio editing. I do have to admit that listening on computer speakers probably didn't help much.
Hands down one of the best. Great videography, awesome drifting, and only tire squeal and engine roar as soundtracks. Ok, maybe a little bit of transmission whine.
@jodark: All my crappy work computer can handle is 480 and it's still awesome.
@TR3-A: But probably have a serious case of motion sickness.
@Ferndown: You say that like this car actually has a muffler on it. If it were a 120HP Civic that sounded that way I would accept, and agree that it sounds like crap. People just seem not to notice that highly boosted 4 bangers sound that way no matter what you do to them.
Hey, I suggested that wall drift on the contest website to win a trip to see it being filmed.
I'm thinking that if the dealers would sell them near MSRP the Boss could give the GR-R a run for it's money in the performance per dollar category. Alas, with the "Market Adjustments" they'll turn out costing about the same. And on that note who needs a kidney?
Who knew that when turned up loudly this masterpiece of european design and engineering sounds like a Japanese middle schooler tripping balls next to a freeway on-ramp.
@jon_daniels: I like, still looking for the design for mine.
