Not to be a safety ninny, but why don't they have tires or other deformable object in front of that concrete wall?

@Neener: that has to be one of the most colorful yet puzzling analogies I think I've ever read.

@Wunno Sev: You may be right, I've only ever seen one in Philly and that was next to the Convention Center so it may have been a Chicagoan just visiting.

and in the meantime, Tesla's stock went up 40% over the initial offering of $17... Hmmm, well, at least the speculators believe in Tesla.

@tekamul: ouch. (but I LOLd)

@MushyHeirloom: I'll post pics if I get around to doing it. The high quality glow paint is pretty expensive, but man would it be cool on a set of Velocity deep-Vs.

I'm not sure why I find this so funny. Is this supposed to be some kind of American Arrogance Penalty?

I might have to do this to my bike wheels.

@tonyola: @rschmid001: Ha! Who's the A$$hole Now? I just went through the comments again (I'm a loser like that) and found that my post of the Ford van duped someone else's post from an hour or so earlier but they just didn't have a picture so I didn't catch it on my first stroll through the comments. Sigh.

@87CapriceEstate: Sorry, I didn't see your post since the image was in your reply and I duped it.

@MaWeiTao: wtf? I've never seen such a thing. It looks like there isn't a single natural color on her. I feel conflicted; she's kinda cute, kinda freaky/creepy. She was probably quite attractive before the accident.

@rschmid001: @tonyola: You know, back in the day, even as late as '08 or early '09, people used to actually read the posts before posting.

@mytdawg: I totally agree. I am so thankful that their sedans with that nose sold so poorly that I rarely have to see them

Current gen Ford full size vans. They tried to make the truck nose work but it is just all sorts of wrong.

@Elhigh: @PowerTryp has a TSD Taurus: I love the Bill Caswell story but the whole issue of the M3 engine bugs me. Did he build the engine out of leftover parts and used pistons? I doubt it. The legend is only slightly diminished if we incorporate some reality, ~20 year old $500 car + $x,000 (+another 0?) engine +…

@Paul Y. is dumb all over: Agreed. That was my exact logic too!

@Mr. Scroggs: Thanks. After you provided her name I used the magic of the interwebz to find that she is indeed quite fetching, and seems to have aged quite well too.

@AndPreciousLittleofThat: "retaliation via angry masturbation"... I can't stop laughing. God, what a crazy concept. "Those Damn Kids! I'll Show Them! (fap fap fap)"

@Mr. Scroggs: Mr Scroggs, again I am astounded by your knowledge and superlative images. I was wondering if there was any info on this fine lady and you provide from your wealth of knowledge yet again while all the others can merely comment on her diet. Thank you.

@Tommy861: Ahhhhh, I love the sweet, sweet sound of a V18 Ferrari... ;)
