This is the biggest piece of shite since "Fishheads"

Wishing that someone would die because of a TV show may not be a "death threat", but it does display some rather pathetic inadequacies in the poster...

Agreed. And, finally, it's an example of motor-sports TV production at its best.

It's not just the move...it's the three-lap chess game that leads to the pass. "The pass" was actually driven by differing tire strategies, but a great move none-the-less.

Agreed. The next thing he should do is to get a grip on himself...

There isn't enough time or money in this spiral arm of the galaxy to keep this thing working more than a few minutes at a time.

I understand the outpouring of affection for the show, but I think that stating that Top Gear "made us all love cars" is a bit hagiographic. I think it reaffirmed my love of British humour, but I loved cars long before Top Gear came along and I haven't really seen many people inspired to buy a car they wouldn't have…

Wireless I/O on real-time motion control systems is a really, really bad idea. Forget security - just getting it to work reliably is a pointless undertaking: timing jitter, resistance to RF interference and packaging are but a few of the reasons why no-one is doing this, and won't for some time to come.

Retire, and move out to lake house. He obviously can't control his shit anymore.

I love the show, but this is completely appropriate: employers can not permit violence in the workplace, or give the appearance of permitting violence in the workplace.

- Don't bite off more than you can chew. My first project was an attempt to build a pro-street Opel Manta, which was actually a "thing" at the time. I got as far as cutting the floor out of what was an arguably good car, before deciding I was in over my head.

These have nice resumes (v-12, tons of cool features) and look good on paper, but are notoriously expensive to repair - and they need frequent repairs. I bought a used one with 20K miles from an auction and...Oh.My.God.

I'm not shocked at all. Besides Michigan's "no-fault" insurance laws, "sporty car" plus under 28 year-old male equals huge insurance premiums. I pay below-national-average for my entry on the "most expensive" list, but I'm a hell of a lot older than 28...

This reminds me of an oft-discussed topic - Jalop-sponsored meet-ups. These have been discussed before but, as the community grows, this becomes a more viable idea. Anyone for a Detroit Metro meet-up? I'll bring my collection of Schumacher-era F1 cars...

"Real environmentalist" wouldn't race at all; the rest of us would applaud the use of an on-demand fuel source that would otherwise go to waste. Precisely how would the series race if there wasn't enough wind or sun to charge the cars?

There are, as you noted, exceptions and it's easier than you make it sound for people to obtain identity information from plates - certainly here in Michigan. Almost anyone can, if they're willing to pay a nominal fee, obtain registration information from the MI Secretary of State.

For the troll who needs a practical, efficient car for the weekdays and an insane V10 sports car for the weekends.

This is cool, but note that this isn't primarily RADAR data:

This 1986 Buick Grand National hails from the marque's Intercooled era, and has one of the most technologically advanced engines produced by GM in the '80s. Bonafides include the aforementioned intercooler, cooling the pressurized intake load and boosting horsepower to a respectable 235-bhp.

My mom owned one of these...the front cross-member rotted right the Hell off of the rest of the body structure. This is a bad thing.
