Look to me like he specifically went for the space between them, also they are there to stabilize the hull once it's beached.

There is supposed to be a stream of the Daytona 24 race here: http://www.mrn.com/?homepage=true

The word "crash" is grossly and sensationally misused here. It (correctly) doesn't even appear in the body of article, where the proper term "beached" is used. So, yeah, you might want to think about that a little next time.

Let me walk you though this step by step, but first a little background. The second car I ever owned was a 1995 325is, in Hellrot red. I bought it with 79k on it and sold it with approx. 163k. I really loved that car and of course wish I still had it today. I mean after I sold it, I actually had vivid dreams about it,…

Translated fine, if you want a term I'd used "engine braking." On the GTI / GLI / Golf which I think are the only DSG applications that get paddles on the wheels in the US, the buttons are right behind the spokes at 9 and 3, but I much prefer to hold the wheels at around 10 and 2 so even those don't work for me.…

I work in parts for a VW dealer in the USA, and you have the "good" DSG in Europe too, but yeah I know all about the mechatronics, there is an extension on the warranty for that part in the US too. It's great that they replaced it, but what happens next time? Also, again I've not driven the better European DSG, but…

I just made a comment before reading yours, bitching about no clutch pedal and noting that the DSG would break, and now you give me the proof!

As with most new VAG products, yay! everything I want except a clutch pedal, ability to fully (read: properly) defeat stability control, and sales in the country I live in (USA). So basically, it has nothing I want. Fun cars aren't made with DSG, just give us the option for a basic, real transmission, that way I can…

I bought an Abarth on Jan 2nd, and I absolutely LOVE the car. Since my wife has a 2009 Prius, I have something big enough at my disposal to take car of all my realistic large object moving needs and frankly in that context the 500 is as much car as almost anyone of us actually need on a daily basis and even weekly…

These type of injuries take a long, as in many months to over a year, to recover from. Even Prof. Watkins mentions in his book Beyond The Limit that once "healed" it can still take a person a solid year to actually fully recover. It's going to be months before we know the full extent and affect of this injury and…

I'm pretty sure Schumi is a tough MFer and he can handle the hippy, fairy teddybear.

Just rewatched The Italian Job for the umteenth time last weekend. The 500 are EVERYWHERE in it.

I also feel like most, maybe even all of this can be said about Honda. Please see "… once great Civic Si." And, where is your S2000 now?

The licenses plate says "BMW M 235i", so I'll go with "yes."

Agree, I don't understand the disparaging attitude of this at all. If we wait until everything is in place or perfect, then we will never get around to introducing new technologies, be it something like the number of fueling situation for a hydrogen car or even things like excessive carbon buildup on intake valves of…

The Fiat Abarth I just picked up has an Event Data Recorder (EDR). Here is everything it says about it (not much.) Bottom line is certainly the data can be obtained and used without your express consent when ordered or obtained thought the proper channels, eg. the court ordered or possibly even directly from the…

If you need to slash the price by $6,000 to sell it, you're doing it wrong. Sure I'm not a big fan of the electric car, but a car/golfcart that can barely keep up in the highways needs to go. Mitsubishi site says its an upcoming vehicle. it shouldn't be coming at all.

Number 4, I swear nobody with a license understand what number 4 is.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a lock cylinder in the driver's door hiding under a "decorative" body colored cap.

So is this a center mounted accelerator pedal and thus an example of the origin of "heel and toe?"
