They definitely get points for keeping it pure. I would enjoy it either way (especially with that level of detail) but I'm just a sucker for a good looking car that is stupid fast.

Let's hear it for hot rod wagons outrunning some factory trash!

awesome

Welcome back, Wes, even if it's only temporary (I assume so). I don't think it's conclusive to say that electrics are as safe a gasoline cars. There aren't enough and they haven't been around long enough to prove that. Using the Ford recall as an example of the danger in gas vehicles misses the point that it was an…

Oh please.

What, of catching fire three weeks after an accident? No they don't. Standard procedure for fighting a car fire or securing a car after an accident is to disconnect the battery to avoid electrical fires. If you have 1500 lbs of batteries you're screwed on that account and the damaged batteries pose a huge fire hazard…

This is no surprise. If you think the Volt's batteries are risky then the Tesla's are off the chart.

Law enforcement isn't ever a permanent solution. Training people and requiring them to get recurrent training is, I believe, the best way to ensure safer roads. All drivers should be required to go to driver training every 2 to 5 years. If they are caught speeding a dangerous amount over the limit (not this 5 or 10…

Intel I trust, Toyota I don't and if they pair it with Microsoft then we are all in danger of fiery death.

That's a fine looking Bugatti, there.

I'm certainly not condoning his actions but seriously, don't the cops have better things to do? I know they do. There are murders and thefts and all kinds of illegal activity going on and they're poking around facebook for Aston Martin owners?

Those are quite moronic. Of course you have to be pretty stupid to steal anything in the first place. Just work for it and you have no worries.

Well, it at least has some presence. I think the back 2/3 of the car looks pretty good. The front end looks a bit over stuffed. Is this thing based on the long wheel base Holden by chance?

I like the tracked trailer combo at the end...oh apparently the Chevy Corvette ad was wrong. Wasn't that a song about a Volvo?

Most amusing and the #1 story is just great. Nice list.

Somehow I don't think it's wise to publicize your involvement in the act of reckless endangerment. It's one thing to take all the lug nuts and leave the wheels lying on the ground it's entirely another thing to only leave 1 on each wheel.

There are plenty. Look up the races on NASA, SCCA or LeMons website. They regularly run races at the club tracks (Eagles Canyon Raceway and Motorsport Ranch Cresson). Even if you just show up and ask if someone needs help most teams won't turn you down. Also, check any of the dirt tracks that run races every weekend,…

Matt, I have to say I really enjoyed this piece. You packed a lot of enthusiasm (and your typical wit) into a great story. The punch line says it all, everyone really, truly needs to get to a race track. Nice work.

And check out that tail light.
