@Nytmare: I'm not anti-LEO by any stretch. I realize the video was reported to them, not discovered by them. Just kidding around. Figured it was better than tired old donut jokes.

I'm just glad to know that even when the police spend their shift watching youtube they can still fight crime.

Who can say no to 800hp in this flamboyant 2100lb package? The graven image of this car hung on my teenage wall for the greater part of the '80s. It was also my first RC car. Although FIA shut it out in '82 it's still my ultimate '80s car.

@Bubs: The 750 version of that mechanical demon nearly killed me with a 70mph tank slapper when I was 16. Straight road. Sunny day. WTF! Evil. It was evil I tell you. Oh, but that sound.... It was the best sound.

You can't fight city hall.

@Jamieson: Oh, your post definitely deserves a picture! I think you're in the lead.

Bill Cosby was in the movie "Leonard 6" (I had to look it up - saw it when I was a kid.) In it he drove a gold Porsche 928 with a big gun turret on top.

I feel bi-polar as I swing between the utter disappointment of yesterday's list and the glorious perfection of today's. Hurray! It's awesome-car Friday!

First car with electronic speed sensitive ride-height. First car with electronic speed-sensitive dampening. First car with electronic tire pressure monitoring. One of the first with ABS. First car with torque splitting AWD. First production car with sequential turbos. First production car to break 4 seconds to 60mph.

@TheSecondSpitter: This is the only correct answer. How many world-first features did it have that are now common standard equipment or government-mandated? This car was 1999 in 1984.

I thought he did great. This is the blind guy that was on TopGear, right?

That's a double-bagger. You have to wear a bag over your head just in case the car cover blows off.

For an extra $45,000 you can upgrade to the theft-prevention equipped HTTPSlethore'.

Great. Now I'm afraid to go to bed tonight. I might mutter something about "Diana en super pantelones..." in my sleep.

I'm always trying to figure out new ways to increase unsprung weight. This is brilliant!

Why go to all that trouble to build an engine with pushrods and 2 valves per cyl? It's almost wonderful.

Buy your dream project from a guy who doesn't own any tools. If you are patient you can still find a 30 year old virgin.

@HJTravels: Me too. I was in high school. I kept that issue of R&T for many years.

@jedimario: Repairing a 914 is like repairing a Beetle. Easy to work on, simple design, great support network, and parts are not very expensive. Mid-engine, independent suspension all the way around with easy camber/caster/toe adjustments, 4-wheel disk, adjustable ride height... It's a great platform for cheap fun.

Porsche 914. No question.
