well played. Very impressive depth of field.

@gman1023: Ha, I didn't hear about that offer. That would have been a great marketing opportunity, Sam Adam's Appology Ale, or a Let Byegones Be Byegones Double Bock...

@drewdrawscriticism: amen. I want this car to inspire the same primal, pants-tightening lust that I've had for the F1 all of these years but it just leaves me trying to hard to get all hot and bothered about it. Maybe I'm just old, but dammit, the F1 is still like an Elle MacPherson SI swimsuit issue after all these…

@Hart88: but, but, but,

@protomech: <3 clicky for the electro-geek. Bravo good sir, you will invariably get crap from people that think that the only possible thing to swap in would be internal combustion but I disagree; anything can be fun and silent running instant torque is something I'd like to play with. I've contemplated dropping an…

@FTGDWolverineEdition'10: the beer choices at the "beer summit" were so incredibly disappointing. They really needed a beer sommelier or at least a political image consultant to make them look like they at least liked good beer.

@hollatchaboy: ...and on the 8th day the Lord said, "Beat thy neighbor senseless!"

@hollatchaboy: Funny you should mention MMA... Christian churches are already trying that: [www.nytimes.com]

@Coreboy: nope, sorry, this Crapalier begs to differ. [jalopnik.com]

@cchannel BLT: Assuming you are the picture of physical fitness, it just means you have to get a skinnier girlfriend.

I have to echo some of the other comments, I Want This Crack Pipe!

@DonLuc: but only if they're properly tie wrapped in place.

Did the dealer send an alert to the BMW forum? The comments are overwhelmingly CRACK PIPE (which it is) but the voting is showing 55% NP. Alright BMW fanboi lurkers, please explain how this is not crack. I love these cars but but maybe $5-6K is NP, not $8k. Hell, it is at a dealer, that alone is enough to say CP,…

His plate should read "SUBLM8R" because it will undoubtedly have an incredible ability to vaporize those skinny little rear tires.

@snap_understeer_ftw: NFW, not on those skinny tires; they look like 255's, maybe 275's max, I think they will just turn to smoke.

@Chuck Lindstrom: That's what I was thinking, I don't think he gave it full throttle until maybe 5th gear. For something as "simple" as a straight line speed contest, that was some very good driving (read: RESTRAINT).

I think I can hear Skaycog moaning in ecstasy right now...

@ted.pro: A stiffer rear bar and some alignment changes can't help it?

@Alf, in pog form: nice multi-meme mash-up to make me laugh as I s start my day. <3- clicky for that.

I just want to know, how will Toyota affix the tinfoil hats to the Prius owners?
