If the person can afford to have you buy a car for them, then I am not surprised they want all the options they can get. Sounds like money is not really an obstacle so why not have all the bells and whistles?

What about the empty beer bottles left behind the door panels? I don't see those.

Sad to see and I hope the owner is adequately insured, but that is a beautiful animated gif - nice work!

Yeah, this, aside from the deaths, was the saddest part of the story. Wow.

Very sad. The street racing scene is exploding, along with side shows. I know there are a couple supposed reality shows about it on TV, but I don't think this is a culture that should be promoted. There are all sorts a legal drag strips in LA - why risk it?

My youngest is Gen Z and she is definitely nostalgic for older cars. She actually wants a VW bus split window. Not exactly the car I want her to have, but I like her style.

Well, he did publish his record time in this article 2 weeks after the record setting run:

I hire booth promotional models for various shows and I can tell you they get you attention. Hot models (guys and girls) with branded attire get their pictures taken with attendees who love to stand next to pretty people. They share the pics on social media. The brand gets around more now then ever this way.

Shirt...want

The first article on Jalopnik came out before the statue of limitations (2 years in most states btw), right?

Meanwhile, Ed Bolian and company drive like maniacs through multiple states at speeds that are just bonkers and not one police agency attempts to charge them despite all the detailed GPS records showing their speed and location. Oh well...

I agree. That was a good bit. Will Smith was funny and relaxed. I can't recall that segment coming across as hilarious and genuine in a long time, plus it was rather long in a good way.

Seriously. I was looking forward to getting back into NASCAR this season after just not being interested in all the drama over the last few years. Turned off again immediately.

Right, because auto manufacturers and suppliers have never skimped on safety. Please. But, government agencies have to keep up on the tech to be effective in their watch dog role, that's for sure.

It's really about does TV have sway over the younger demos anymore. VIACOM is desperate to show they are relevant with the young folks who spend more time online than they do in front of the TV.

They need to hire Johnny!

Does it look like Chilly McDilly in the little dark car was trying to let the truck move over to the shoulder lane, which I assume is the slow lane? Spaz MaGeee in the white car just can't wait.....

What BS. Anyone who has gone through this can tell. You can't sit there and type like that when your life is just ripping apart, it's almost physically impossible... and the bank freezing the account? Doesnt make sense.

200 / month I'm there. Crimony, I've been himming and hawing over a Fiat 500E lease for 200 / month but can't pull the trigger because of the range (80 - 100 miles)

Hmmm. Don't lift mid corner. Who would have thunk it? Nice little interview tho. Love to sit and chat with this feller over coffee, sounds like some great stories.
