You underestimate the power of human beings to ignore really, really important shit. An ear-piercingly loud horn is one of the few reliable ways to get their attention.

I remember when racing used to be about ingenuity. Now it's about "playing fair".
The USPS is constitutionally guaranteed, for one thing, and for the other, parcel and notice delivery is kind of necessary for a civilized nation. Do you want to leave such an essential service up to FedEx and UPS?
Do you really think a Renegade will survive 30 years of deing pounded on by people who don't own them?
Most of those vehicles do not fit the requirements in that document.
Dear FIA,
How about instead of banning everything, you give points for creativity?
It was a clever interpretation of the rules, and an inovation we haven't seen in a long time
The public has every right to give him shit. It's not as if that accident was the one black mark in Stewart's career; he's a known hot-head and unrepentant (until now, it seems) asshole.
Well that's good enough for me, since he straight up killed a guy. In my opinion the situation was more like a person waving a gun around and feeling bad when he accidentally shoots someone, but he still killed a guy. Either way, I feel he doesn't deserve to race any more.
If only it was truly "unrestricted" to import foreign cars into the U.S. after 25 years. The People's Republic of California begs to differ.
As time passes, the Veyron gets weirder and becomes more of an anomaly. It is, in it's own fucking bizarre way, just as focused as the McLaren F1, but instead of 'greatest driving experience', its weird-ass goal was to be a drama-free 250mph luxury car. You can get in, put your foot down, hold the wheel, and some…
Well yeah, I can only listen to so many non-car people tell me about the super-awesome-expensivest-car-in-the-world-Veyron and it's "dual clutch engine connected to a 16 cylinder transmission and best of all it has PADDLE SHIFTERS" before I start to loathe the thing. No fault of it's own and it is still a marvelous…
Yeah, car hipster me wants to dump on the Veyron for being too hyped and overlauded, but it was indeed a technological leap forward for cars. Only true engineering nerds cam appreciate what a crazy achievement this car was
This is Jalopnik. The Bugatti became too mainstream so we started hating it.
So here's the thing about the V60. When I was a kid, Volvo wagons could be purchased by average income earners. Hell, we had one in 1983, at the same time my parents were trying to manage a 21% mortgage (the early '80s were scary). We didn't make lots of money. Today you'd call us middle-middle class.
It might seem to simplistic, but I honestly think almost all the people who were ever going to buy that car, already did.
Maybe I should do a follow-up to that one. Almost a year later, Toyobaru sales are really slipping. Perhaps the excellent new WRX has something to do with that? The BRZ is a great sports car, but when you find a similarly-priced car in the same sales lot with more power, more practicality and more capability in bad…
It's a joke.
Weirdly in keeping with naming conventions, the 911 Turbo will still be called the Turbo, despite no longer actually having a Turbo.
Nope. Per Pistonheads' interview with Hatz:
