As is per usual, I step away from the computer and interwebs for summer weekends filled with high test pump gas, lawn mowing, beer, waterparks, carb tuning, beer, home repairs, dishes, beer, and some beer.

Yeah. I lived a few blocks down from that guy while he was doing that shit. The neighborhood kids knew about it...

Agreed. I read the whole thing top-to-bottom.

They were not shot, arrested, or injured; they got away, ergo, they are lucky.

You should have seen some of the traffic heading down to the Glen that weekend. Almost as much exotic horsepower as was on the track...

Page 33 is where the Gigahorse makes it's debut on io9Monster's link. Some crazy machines in there....

Larry David is co-producing? This could actually, truly, be legit.

Some of those skinny-ass roads in rural Ohio are scary in a 300-hp car, let alone one in the four-digit power range. My girlfriend has family out there, so I've spent quite a bit of time navigating the shoestrings they call B-roads.

Neutral: Absolutely. It simply has to start doing it again. Case in point: when GM decided that Cadillac was to return to it's status as a world-power in sports and luxury, it started building vehicles like the CTS. Now, it can be debated that the cars are not quite at the level of their Teutonic counterparts, but no…

We test drove both a 2013 CX-5 Touring and a 2013 Escape SEL 1.6 Ecoboost for my girl last night. The Mazda is relatively light, with excellent handling, braking, and economy (the FWD returns 35mpg).

I'm an industrial design engineer - that's what I get to "work" on as well. "I get paid to do this?"

I bet you had quite a bit of fun 3D modeling, and then photoshopping, that beast into these pics. Well done, man.

No kidding? I have those at our local Wegmans and was admiring their svelte lines. I will make a Cherry Vanilla Diet Coke from one tonight in his honor!

We're all pulling for you, Maria. Godspeed in your complete recovery.

Heh. I just noticed that (and the "inbox" system of replying as well. I guess we'll have to stay tuned, I wish I had a better answer for you.

Definitely would like the option to have the linear-scroll "blog" view in place - some of us want BRZs, others Mustangs (V6 or otherwsie). Choice is a good thing, comrades! :)

Hi Siege, it's True-Blue. Who wins COTD, you do.

Slipping the surly bonds of earth is another thing they've got going, too.

The only reason to legitimately hate Ken Block (not his fans, him) is because he is 23.76 times better at driving than you are.

I don't hate it. DeLoreans really do make everything cooler, and it appears that the stretch limo application is no exception!
