Let's take this time to remember that while not all BMW owners are jerks, all jerks drive BMWs.

I'd assume if he/the kit put the effort into adding headlights, the rest of the car must be street legal.

I'm not saying I hate it, but Mercedes must really be going for the droopy melted look.

Ok, that clears up a lot. Thanks!

What concerns me about Formula-E is that there's been very little advertising, and few major manufacturers seem to have an interest in the series. This is probably why that prototype and the rest of the chassis will look pretty generic. It seems like very little thought was put into the series.

Ironically, if all cars were like the Corvette and made major improvements for incremental increases in cost, cars would be getting more expensive, but at the same time, relatively they'd be getting cheaper.

Agreed. Plus we've already got a more luxurious version with the same horsepower and a manual for about $40k less.

Uh oh! Politics!

But for one second to compare it to the second most elite sport in the world next to baseball is idiotic. There have been more ppl to space than on an f1 podium.

Honestly man, there is no possible way you could be more wrong. You think that an Indy car, V8 supercar, ALMS, rally, or F1 champion couldn't easily get P20 after driving the best car in another feeder series? Really? Also, Valentino did so well in his Ferrari F1 test that Ferrari was ready to hire him. Guess F1…

I'm wondering why so many people are choosing the V8 supercar because it looks like the real car, has doors, etc. If I'm getting a race car, I want it to look like a race car. I want to take down the window net and have to climb in because RACECAR.

Thanks Jason for taking the time to respond to my "5 Reasons Why" article from last week. I had no idea it'd spawn this kind of debate, but it's great that we can discuss stuff like this.


In response to your post, I actually do like how some retro cars look today, and I absolutely agree with what you said about…

Let me Relay to you what a real minivan looks like.

A soccer mom would probably have no trouble merging onto the highway with mirrors like this.

The man van would like to have a word with you.

Are you the Antti? Your videos are truly spectacular; it's an honor.

Race cars are cool right?

It's a Range Rover, but with more leather and a wood drinks chest. Because you don't show up at the Ashes in a lorry.

Unfortunately, James May proved why daily driving a race car, though it sounds cool, is pretty much universally awful.
