Raph - I work at this plant...there are closer to 4,000 employed here.

Its face looks like an owl. I approve.

“It’s a twin-turbo, 1,029 HP Honda Odyssey.”

Read the article: am still mad at being offered $8500 for my ‘11 Civic with under 30k.

spent the latter part of my day at work in a room with a bunch of un-camouflaged test cars. it was fun.

FYI, first ~37s of the video are useless.

Headlights? Tail lights? A front wiper? Is this...a road legal stock car??

That front end is not going to age well.

I don’t like the direction car design is going. Nissan, Lexus, and now Lamborghini are increasingly guilty of extremely hard lines and overwrought polygons. Where does it go from here? I honestly shudder to think what the next generation of cars brings. One can only hope for a revolutionary return to organic designs.

Clearly what we are seeing is the first diesel Ferrari.

but if you fire it at an air target and miss...

If i bought this, I would wrap the wood trim with 3M carbon fiber vinyl immediately.

At the very top of the picture, you can see a fox tail attached to the car’s antenna. It waved wildly the whole time.

This. The Subaru kicked serious ass. And the fox tail on the Manta was the best thing ever, especially when you could just barely make it out bobbing away in the light from the car behind it.

Good job on finishing at all, I say. And to finish that high in the field is even more impressive. It pains me that a standard-issue Honda part failed so hard, but I’m sure SCG learned a ton from this race and will be back in force.

up to 13th as of just now (11:49 EDT)

Beautiful :’)

Doug, very random question: does it have its headlights adjusted to driving on the right-hand side of the road? If I recall, especially in projector lights, the passenger side one is kicked up a tad to light up the side of the road.

Impressive!

Not my own story. But after my best friend found out his girlfriend was cheating, I drove him to her car and he looked on as I kicked the shit out of the driver’s door, on the body line. He said something later on about her needing a new door following that.
