Speed cameras all over the world work as automated ticketing machines. It wouldn't be surprised if that sort of tech trickles down to automated plate readers in cop cars any day.

Serious question: can you get FIA-rated fireproof maxi pads? Because, um, asking for a friend.My friend claims the usual plasticky ones are a tad chafey whenever you move around and sweat a whole bunch. Chafing is bad. The nomex ones could be worth it.

The entire interview was pretty funny. They could have just excused everyone besides Alonso. Granted, Kimi and Nico got a few questions, but that was pretty much just an Alonso Q&A.

From what I can find, the average cost of a BBC Top Gear episode is between $500k-1mm. The cost of an episode of House of Cards is somewhere around $3.5-4mm. Top Gear's viewership numbers make House of Cards look insignificant.

This explains every Toyota sold in the last 15 years.

Cool, but his head's only a pinch of dandruff away from a snow globe.

The name's ridiculous, but makes sense, sort of, maybe. Roque Bentayga is a volcanic plug that remains from the original formation of Grand Canaria. This is apparently Bentley's new flagship, signifying their design direction. So if Roque Bentayga set the foundation for Grand Canaria, the Bentley Bentayga sets the…

They should have just made a Road Rash reboot and branded it Sons of Anarchy.

Wow.

Perfect example with the USS Stark. Takes a hit from a pair of Exocet missiles, one of the most widely proliferated and combat proven ASMs around, and still makes it home under her own power.

I'm all for a mid-engine Corvette...

Probably not, but at least it would double as a fire starter.

Saw one fly at Oshkosh years ago (sometime in the late 90s). Was pretty damn amazing. I seem to remember it had fuel issues that day which prevented it from doing a supersonic flyby, but even going slow it was still epic.

The answer to all this is ridiculously simple.

That would be a Beriev Be-200 Altair. Used for firefighting mainly.

I pay more insuring my damn Supra than you did insuring a Ferrari. I need to find a better company.

Is there any way I can take a rag (towel?) to my screen and wipe the fluids off, or am I stuck with a massive Jalopload now?

DUDE.

I'm pretty sure Supra is latin for "above," "beyond," or "greater than."
