FIA right now is ruining everything it touches.

So it turns out the first car to actually use the term “crossover” in marketing materials? The Toyota Matrix. If you look at one, it sort of makes sense. It’s bigger than the hatchbacks of the time, yet smaller than SUVs. It also wasn’t as long as station wagon, so they decided to call it that.

The irony now is the law only riled up the liberals and North Carolina is a state that may very well go blue this November.

The Pontiac Vibe GT also shared the 2ZZ-GE. Some fun facts about that engine: at the crank it could make 180 HP, or 100HP/L. It’s higher compression compared to the 1ZZ-FE and has a cam profile more adapted to performance over economy (the G vs the F).

I look forward to the Lion’s simply because of ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER.

I’m sure he, and the rest of the field and NASCAR, were glade he pulled out of the racing line and into a “safe” area when the tire went off.

See, if a sports team asked the government for an interest free loan, I’d be all, “Go ahead! That’s fine!” The money given back to the community, whether via taxes or charity because of the team is the interest.

Eh, the 747 to me is a superior cargo plane because of the flight deck being elevated the way it is. It allows the entire lower deck to be used for cargo and makes for easier unloading and loading.

I know of a couple Fieros modified for offroad use.

First line still references the RNC, not the DNC.

Here’s my surprise at it being a placebo or “part of the show”:

I think racing, as a whole, is on a bit of a downslope in terms of attendance. F1 had to cover up seats in Hungary. Outside of the biggest races on the schedules (Daytona, Indy 500, Monaco) and openers, the series aren’t really having a good, at track audience. TV audience is flagging too, if you’ll pardon the pun.…

Obligitory: “The system still sucks and is only a bandaid.”

What about shaming his home city with the tie game?

Hence “To an extent”.

I’m going to disagree on the HANS bit (to an extent anyway), because after Dale died because of the lack of one, they flew off of the shelves. At that point, mandating it wasn’t much of a challenge since everyone’s idol died because of not using one, and they didn’t particularly want to follow in his footsteps.

What pissed me off the most about that was there was an all too coincidental $250m cut to the U-Wisconsin budget at the same time that was “no way related to the $250m for the new bucks stadium.”

To be fair, it is non-binding. However, I don’t see how they could get away with voting against it without political suicide in Parlament.

Since I missed the original post:

Well, it is the same platform as the Firebird...
