Ditch the hardtop and let that gorgeous rollbar shine!

It is the base engine this year...

Heh, "big state".

What a beautiful machine. Rally Fighter, meet your granddad.

A: The Cube has an engine – of that we can be sure. Unfortunately, I'm not entirely certain what type of engine it has, or how large it is. All I know is it allows the Cube to accelerate at approximately the same rate as an industrial forklift.

I have watched every lap of every race, every minute of qualifying and a hefty portion of free practice and I have to agree with Loping Camshaft - ROS and HAM can fight it out all they want, but watching the Mercs on front row every other Sunday has gotten to be a little repetitive.

Put this guy in charge of training.

I try.

I've been using Excel recently to help with this. As it turns out, sabermetrics work beautifully to get a decent read on cars as compared to each other. You have to stay in a single segment of the market, but cars in that segment are usually pretty easy to compare. VORP (value over replacement player) translates…

The thinking goes like this: H-D would never actually approve a mount capable of flying seven whole goddamn flags, thus removing the possibility of flying said bevy of banners. Without those flags, the engine and transmission aren't under enormous stress and the clutch doesn't burn out.

I giggled so hard at that whole damn thing. Good on you. Keeping in the middle of the pack on your first time in a stock vehicle is a fantastic feeling.

Maldonado resembles that remark...

It's not long after the lights go out that Crashtor finds a way to stop anyway.

Similar results can be had while in a hotel - use the coffee pods they provide and the carafe from the coffee maker (or a large cup) and stick it in the fridge. Been doing this for a year or two now, always with good results.

Not enough lighter to compete with the cost - since the aluminum on there is only a Slim Fast away from being foil anyway, there's no real advantage but there is a very real downside in material cost and tooling, which is then passed on to you. I'm sure you could ask for one if you were willing to front the cost for…

Care to expound upon that? If you're going to say something about how the lock cylinder obscures the pins and thus secures the shank, I'll just laugh at you.

Fucking genius.

Would that I could give more stars. Long live HLSR!

Coming from you, I'll accept it. I'm just glad we're not full-fat Florida.

Couldn't agree more.
