Nah, they are just going back to detachable face stereos. :P

You may have missed the point, we're talking purely about safety here. Would that little composite canopy really turn you off that much to watching a race? It would be meaningless to me as a viewer, zero effect on my enjoyment of the overall spectacle.

Exactly, and thank you. We can probably all admit the bit of thrill when we see an accident during a race, but I have never once felt anything other than sorrow and sickness when a driver has been killed or seriously injured. The sport does not need to be deadly to be exciting to watch. Personally, being a huge F1 fan…

Welcome to the most popular post Gawker Media may ever see. (Sorry dead Michael Jackson news flash.)

I'm OK thank you.

I'm getting a little tired of all these 4-door coupes.

Another issue here is that he will never accept responsibility if this is the lesson he learned. TExas, you just created a new Patrick Bateman, just a matter of a few years before we possibly read about bodies of little children being dug up from his basement, his huge, man cave, plasma screened, jacuzzi, dance floor,…

If you are rich enough, you will never have to go to jail. Your parents will pay for you to go to jail, unless they won't actually have to pay much at all.

I remember those, and they are great quick audio fixes for older cars. That was still advanced alien technology when my unit was built however.

As Fintail said elsewhere in the comments you can have an old school Benz from the 60's fitted with an iPod aux by sending your unit back to Becker, it really changes nothing since these units were built with an auxiliary "out" from the factory. You don't have to drill a hole in the glovebox (leather lined on mine, so…

How did the Bugatti from Elysium not make the cut?

How did the Bugatti from Elysium not make the cut?

LOVE those movies, especially The Lost World and I LOVE those rigs, the modern day brother to my all-time favorite Benz, the G4. Cannot wait!

If I may add one other bit, I am feeling a bit sad for Mrs. Jennings lately, after she launched her "Jean Knows Cars" site with a promo featuring her in a jester's hat, but I haven't heard of a single person who has been to the site or seen it mentioned in the automotive press aside from this one article. I hate to…

Speaking generally since I don;t know the full and true details of this case, I'm not really cool with the idea being tossed around in comments that the dealer can rightfully charge full rate of 4.5-hrs if the job only takes 1.5-hrs simply because that's what the book rate for a wiring harness is listed at. Why,…

All I see is another knock-off or Project Runway in that nobody takes the time to create a unique approach these days and virtually all follow the formula PR pioneered. As I was falling asleep last night I watched two shows about special effects, one with the Jim Henson Studios setup to create "creatures" and full…

Not bad overall but I think the knife-edge nose is a Pantera hallmark and they lost the character due to that misstep. I do think it's cool overall and I dig those gauges for their artistic quirkiness. These guys should definitely do a P1800 up right, do it!

Are you tired of driving your old Subaru Outback from Portland out to Cannon Beach for the weekend? Well, have we got news for you Oregon (And you too, New England): A new Outback is close.

Also, and this is future thinking, but the Japanese are developing a satellite energy project that harnesses solar power in space via massive solar panels (no real size restrictions in space) and can fire it back to the Earth's surface in the form of a laser. Lasers are diminished by clouds and dust but you could…
