That shit’s bolted down from the top, unless that was missing (which I’ve never heard of, but you never know with mass production,) there is no way the shifter came off. Also you have to slide it up and off a good 4 or so inches of shaft too, so how did that happen again?

Wow a own a 2013 500 and this guy is smoking the good crack, let me tell you. The cable coming out of the glove box, okay maybe not the best location, but there is plenty of space in the seam between the box and the dash for a regular iPhone / USB cable to slide freely in and out of. No idea how he was damaging cables…

Nobody ever talks about how ugly the steering wheels were on these. I was excited about these when they came out, loved the outside etc, when I saw the inside I remember being horrified by the steering wheel.

Speaking of liking Saabs, or specifically weird Saabs, I owned a 1990 SPG. Wish I’d never sold it, want it back etc. Really great car. (Never mind that the guy I sold it to got in touch with me a few years later and shared pictures of the entire floor under the drivers and passengers feet being rotted out, read…

I like what you said here. I think it is pretty much spot on.

I actually had this exact same experience the first time I saw an F1 car in person. That was 1999.

I wrote this up and some how post disappeared instead of showing up. Short of it is, guy early apexed, nothing about "input", if he used too much input he would have driven off the inside of the corner. The best part was after admitting he was in early he says he used, "... the steering angle I would normally use for…

It's necessary to know both, also in "cubed" form.

Somebody is going to need to ask this so it may as well be me. How many dead prostitutes can fit in the trunk?

This guy is an excellent example of why it can be invaluable to choose a good racing school to go to. The only thing worse than his video is his explanation. He says he's been tracking his car for "eight years," but clearly he has learned very little. I'm not ragging on HPDE type education, but it can really vary by…

I'm very confused, how did this list get made and the pass, know as "The Pass" doesn't make it, at all?!

A few years ago I knew of an orange one for sale. I wanted it dearly. ORANGE man! It was orange! Bonus, if I am remembering correctly, none of the shooting brakes were made in England, so your safe there.

This is bullshit put out there by the oil companies that want you to "fund" their business with 10k or once a year oil changes. Seeing is not believing and there is no need to give into this fear mongering and drag your ass to some shop once a year for an oil change. Ice cream, Mandrake, children's ice cream! Good…

This things amazing and I want it badly, unfortunately there seems to be a discrepancy between my definition of "stratospheric" and Ablogtowatch's. Apparently price is: 12,673 francs (excluding taxes and shipping) which is roughly $12,751.87

What I find really interesting is this: when we have high level of AI doing our daily tasks, like driving, but also more than that, our whole economy and workforce is going to have to change (possibly revolutionize). Not simply just because computers/machines are going to be doing the jobs of a lot of humans (think…

The really terrible thing, (and if you don't believe me their drivers have said it in interviews,) they have no idea how well the car is working at all since the engine barely runs and when it does is way, way, way down on power. Oh, and we have no idea about it's weight either. I mention this because last year, it…

This probably the only time this season your going to see the word "awesome" paired with "McLaren Honda" and not including something along the lines of "disaster," "failure" etc.

I was kind of lucky in that my parents always had a stick, so besides being excited about cars and racing I actually had access to learning on one from the beginning. Over appox. 10 cars, only 2 have been autos, one was a 1990 Suburban I bought partly to try and haul a kart to the track and back (ironically I never…

The fact that it has been 7 years since the last service means that is MEANINGLESS!!! Your on the hook for about 10K if you're going to do it right. Right means new OEM fluids for everything, timing belt, check valve clearances. Ferrari's are special and I don't think most people really have a grasp on that.

No, seriously – the GT4 is a massively important test-case for the future viability of the manual transmission. It sows the seed of a new generation of drivers' cars that speak a language of interaction and not lap-times. This I think will be the new performance niche for the dominant brands, and it makes perfect…
