Another instance in which rally is better than other motorsports.

I don't think "rebodied" can be appropriately applied to the Atom. How about just "bodied"?

I've actually been driven around (for a minute at least) in a joystick-controlled car. I believe I was even sitting in the driver's seat, though the driver and joystick happened to be in the back seat at the time... This was an early version of Stanley, the Stanford car that won the original DARPA autonomous driving…

Well, google did a lot better than bing...

That seems unfair, because race truck.

Maybe the person in question can't figure out The Google, and won't use it to look up total softballs like specifications and reviews.

I like the old VW keys, since they're cut asymmetrically

Woo, I've driven through there on the way to Escondido camp, but I guess you weren't going there in that car.

At least it didn't just sit on his nose (speaking of weirdest looking race cars...)

I had ice cream while doing car repair once, but it was because a wheel fell off of the car I was towing just as I was going by an ice cream shop, and my friend went in and bought us some ice cream while I was putting the wheel back on...

Wow, I had totally, and thankfully, forgotten about that song.

That picture definitely does not prove Hammond wrong about its looks...

Single lane bridges+cliffs+torrential rains+tourists=scary for me.

Damnit, I was SURE I would be able to post something original this time...

I guess the idea is that more people use it now that it's free, thus more traffic, thus less opportunity for racing unimpeded.

I hardly ever visit Gizmodo anymore, and when I do I often disagree with/dislike what I find.

Lærdal Tunnel in Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. It has big blue caves in it.

Forecast of 77 degress today, partly cloudy. It's "Climate Best by Government Test" for a reason :-)

Yeah, well, you know how well that worked out.

For some reason I find it exceptionally easy to imagine this being read in Clarkson's voice...
