Cars doing donuts don't sound good to me, because I think doing donuts is pathetic and stupid. It's basically the motoring equivalent of dry firing a gun because you REALLY WANTED to cock it and pull the trigger to feel bad ass. Cars starting up, accelerating hard, downshifting with a little throttle blip; in short,…

It's a feature, not a bug. Certainly supercar owners don't want their own cars to explode, but I bet many do feel slightly cooler knowing they drive a something so dangerous that it could literally explode at any second.

"some of the tracks they've won on painted in their namesake color"—you mean, all of them?

Are all the safety and convenience "improvements" on these cars really offsetting…

The beauty of the presidency is that JimJones840 doesn't rule on who's qualified to be president. We all do. I shudder to think what the qualified-according-to-this-asshole's probable choice of Walnuts McCain would be up to at this point—remember, he's the one who's bitching to CNN about how nobody's telling him…

I never used to think a thing could be objectively ugly. Until I saw that. I suppose I will never understand the urge to glue plastic crap and stick decals all over the outside of a perfectly clean, good-looking car. If it's functional, it gets a pass. Most of it isn't.

Clearly being less intelligent doesn't give anyone an advantage, but that isn't the point. The point is, those who are less intelligent are passing on their genes just like smarter people, whereas before they'd freeze, starve, or get eaten by tigers. Did you even read the post?
