I'm kind of amazed that the Hayabusa is still as unchanged as it is. It seems way overdue for an upgrade, especially from the aesthetics point of view.

According to Ducati, the engine produces 195 hp and 98.1 lb-ft.

Neutral: How would you sell the Viper? More power? More options? More advertising?

996 Turbo?

Offical "guess Dougs next car" thread.

Oh okay! Yeah that sounds about right. I've seen it maybe 2 or 3 times and at night, wasn't really positive what it was though.

I've seen one on the road by me with the license plate "VRYRARE". Never knew there were so few.

I've seen two in Cleveland. One black, one gunmetal. God their glorious.

I am excite.

I love M3s, but the reviews I've seen have been kinda disappointing. It seems like they tried to make a drift monster instead of a composed, balanced track/street car.

Any BMW with _28i , an X_, or GT. They all seem to be driven by those seeking status over a driving experience.

I did. It's just that I took one to help aleviate travel headaches last winter. It caused a lot more frustration than if I had driven. 7 hour delays. "traffic" on the rails, causing us to backtrack for miles to go around other trains, no available food for 19 hours. Wasn't my idea of solving a travel problem.

An autumn snow storm is about to bear down on the Northeast, ruining road travel and completely screwing up air travel for the rest of the country. Cars and planes are clearly no means of travel at all, then. The way towards the future is clearly the train.

This is what I saw...

Exactly why I vowed to never take Amtrak again.

Amtrak from Cleveland to The Dells in an ice storm. 7 hour delay. 19 hours of rail travel. For what would take me about 8 hours to drive.

*cough* Hellcat Alfa *cough*

Ken, thanks for joining us! About how long does it take to plan and set up for the Gymkhana films? It seems like a massive undertaking.

It looks like those rubber mats used on playgrounds.

They are pretty heavy actually. This amount of support material is about 5x that of the sidewall. Thats why they're used for slow torquey commercial equipment. And that John deer is at the maximum capacity of the transmissions, so it can't use a bagger due to the weight.
