Don't front-hinged hoods make it more difficult to work on the engine? Seems like they would, but maybe with the engine so far back in the Viper you have to access it from the sides anyway.

The Mini is rendered obsolete by the Fiesta.

True, but they have a better chance of people going downtown to watch a race than they do of having people drive to the middle of nowhere where most tracks can be found.

Serious question: How does one use Google+ correctly?

This I never had heard of before. Maybe they can save my 1998 Padres World Series cap - I don't think I'll be getting another one any time soon!

I've been to the races twice in my life, once in a fancy private party space which was boring because the track was really far away and once with the madding crowd which fucking sucked.

Reunite Buck with Artie Lange! Or, more seriously, David Wells.

I nominate Artie Lange to replace him.

Forget the big wave, that 2nd video is gripping and terrifying. It reminded me of the footage of David Purley trying to save Roger Williamson from his burning car. Thankfully things turned out okay for these two surfers.

Stafford's sneak for the win was the sneakiest sneak of all. That was just perfect.

I know it's impossible to compare across eras, but Serena-at-her-best would have to be favored to win a match against any other at-her-best player, right?

I hope he didn't burn off too much tread - his car might end up underweight and fail the post-race inspection!

Lord of the Rings, first it's a ring then the Eye of Sauron. I guess they needed to make the performance a little longer because there wasn't much to that one.

I don't think you get screw points for having to watch your home-market teams. That makes me wonder, has an NFL city ever won this coveted prize?

Black wheels paired with silver body accents? Blech.

Oh, how I hate when wheels spin "backwards"! C'mon, Honda! Your last gen Prelude got it right (while 911 Turbos keep doing it wrong): Left-side and right-side wheels with the spokes twisting in opposite directions.

Oh, sweet irony: This example of a typography app ends with an orphan.

I disagree! The J30 design is simple and elegant. Today's cars could use a dose of its tastefulness.

I don't have cable, so TBS wasn't even an option for me! When I last had cable a few years ago I remember TBS somehow being more palatable than Fox, but that isn't saying anything.

No matter how deserving the teams and players, Fox's coverage makes postseason baseball an excruciating experience. Turn down the crowd noise, stick with one camera angle for more than two seconds (and not a close-up! and not of the stands!! and definitely not a close-up of a fan!!!), find a play-by-play announcer who…
