@dieselkopf: It was a joke obviously. I've turned over a GM 305 V8 and it required a long breaker bar. I can only imagine what kind of torque is required to get an Aston Martin V12 moving.

What? No kick start? Boooo

Dear Heikki,

@Alfisted: I wouldn't call French a dying language. I also wouldn't call the language spoken in Quebec French. That would be an insult to people in France.

Are those the special tires for creating colored smoke from burnouts? That tire smoke looked very yellow to me. Maybe it was just the filter on the lens

@Tossed Pissed Mazda3hatch sideways: And the only way to produce the correct tone of yellow is to crush the seeds with bare feet at a certain elevation within the arctic circle. Of course, getting there requires a 6 month pilgrimage as well, so the extra cost is understandable

@G-Ram: When I saw that guy I immediately thought of Tyrone Biggams too!

Actually, this picture speaks a thousand words. His shoelaces may have locked up the brakes, but his left front tie rod failed, snapping the wheel back which sent him careening off the track

@Tossed Pissed Mazda3hatch sideways: In Audi's defense, changing the color of the car was actually only about $4000, however, if you chose yellow, and only yellow, then the price was an extra $46,000. It was actually an article on Jalopnik a while back

How many years now has Frank Biela been driving for Audi? That's dedication to a team!

Looks like you don't get very much car for the money...

I once found the same scam but for a different car. This person was selling a mint condition '69 Mustang Fastback for $5200 on my local Kijiji (in Canada). I e-mailed the seller about this amazing deal of a car and someone claiming to be a woman with a recently deceased husband was trying to sell the car.

What a fantastic sounding engine :)

@v8corvairpickup: As a massive fan of Carmageddon 2 (and 1 and TDR 2000) I can definitely say that the game didn't really have great physics. The gravity was about 50% or less of earth norm, especially when traveling at any sort of speed, the amount of traction from the tires is about 50% or less from real life, and

@snap_understeer_ftw: It's not the original HANS, it's a Karting hybrid. Basically the idea is to keep the helmet attached to the brace so it can't move around too much.

@snap_understeer_ftw: I've been around this sport a long time and I've flipped karts and landed on my head a few times. I have always had a neck brace on and have never suffered a neck injury.
