The race should also be live on MotorTrend On Demand which is way cheaper for a month and free for 14 days for new users. Hopefully the experience will be good. 

Why mess with perfection?

Exit... Van Left

You can tell it’s a Tesla because you could drive a golf cart through the panel gaps.

My parents had a 93 Loyale with a 5 speed and the 4WD button on the top of the stick. I loathed that car as a child because it looked so old a shitty and now I’m want one because it’s old and weird. It was a tank. My mom drove it from Central PA to Cleveland regularly in the winter while finishing her Master’s.

I worked for a deep subprime lender for the last 3 years. It’s a filthy business and I have no intentions of ever working anywhere near it again. Every horrible thing you can imagine happens. That all said, the customers are just as bad as the lenders. Seriously, sign up for Credit Karma, it’s 100% free, and figure…

I grew up loving these things. They had a look that my single digits aged self just adored. Best one ever was the one Sinatra drove in Cannonball Run 2.

This was literally the plot of an excellent shitty movie called “Blood Car” like 10 years ago. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780485/

I sat there during some of the race weekends last year. Also a good spot. There are so many nice places there to see big chunks of track.

I’ll be at MotoGP all weekend again this year. Last year was such an overwhelmingly wonderful experience. The crowd is big, but friendly. The racing is VERY competitive in a way Formula 1 hasn’t been in forever. The bikes are super cool. I’m way more of a car person, but if you enjoy racing and live near Austin, it’s…

1. Dip your Scout and rescue it from the horrific DIY camo. 2. Write story / how-to / make youtube video. 3. Pay for process with said content. 4. ??? 5. Profit!

It’s not racing. It’s like freestyle motocross or BMX or Skateboarding. It’s got some of the craziest car builds out there right now. Insane nitrous-fed V8s, 2JZ’s turbo-ed into oblivious, the occasional 800+hp 4 cylinder, and everything in between. It’s not racing. The goal isn’t to get to the finish line first, it’s…

I adore the new Fit, but it’s SO SLOW. Give that thing 170-180 HP screamer of a Honda motor, appropriate brakes and suspension and it would be perfect. We will never get a Fit Si though. It’s not going to happen. And that makes me sad.

I would have gone with “Chevertte” over “Convette”, but to each his own, at least until individual thought is outlawed by our benevolent Supreme leader Trump.

Watching all of Project Binky is a brilliant way to spend an afternoon. I’ve done it more than once.

It is showing up as out of stock at the $11.99 price again.

The issue is less having the power and brakes to tow and more having a strong enough portion of the frame to attach a tow hitch to and having a strong enough frame to resist the extra stress of said tow bar. Most unibody vehicles aren’t really designed to handle that stress which is why they have such low tow ratings.…

He wasn’t just a cameo, he wrote the script for the original Cannonball Run movie. It was initially slated to be a much more serious film with Steve McQueen as the star but when he died, Hal Needham hooked him up with Burt and the rest is wonderful cinema history.

I’m a recent transplant from Pennsylvania to Texas. These fuckers are everywhere and I loathe them. I had one roach run in during my 29 years in PA at a friend’s house and they are fucking everywhere here. I hate it. Fortunately my apartment complex sprays for them so you only see like 1 at a time but still. I hate…

As someone who owns a Honda Element with its rugged rubber floor, I have to say it’s not all better over here. The howl of road noise that isn’t dulled by a carpet is just delightful when driving thousands of miles halfway across the country like I did a few months back. Sure it’s easy to clean and it makes loading…

The issue with the 348 is that the F355 is vastly superior car and looks even better. But the 348 is hardly a Mondial.
