Losing the key for a Porsche race car is no joke. At some point in either last year or the year before, the key for the BGB Cayman got stolen at Detroit. It caused a bit of an issue. Fortunately it was stolen _AFTER_ the race.

The folks below have it right. I believe the series mandates a manual. The other reason is weight. The PDK, for all its awesomeness, weighs at least 80-100 lbs more. As it usually is with racing, it comes down to simplicity and weight. The manual is easier to maintain and lighter.

I tend to apex the on and offramps, too. In a Nissan NV 200 minivan. Not the swiftest thing on 4 tiny wheels, but I’m going for the technique. Also has a CVT, which makes it fun and interesting. And by fun and interesting, I mean scary as all get out sometimes.

This is Ford we're talking about. YGTBSM. Ford care about weakness? As long as it's cheaper, that's all that matters.

Boxes come in 45 and 53 foot lengths. Granted they account for maybe 10-15 percent of the containers on the road, but they are out there.

40 foot container. Steel cage would pretty much defeat GPS trackers, and once you put it on a trailer, it's just another box heading somewhere.

Fantastic ideas. I am not a 4wd guy at all, but I support each and every bullet point you raise. Unfortunately NONE will EVER come to pass. Well, maybe the manual transmission, but that's about it.

I'm surprised that cameraman can walk. His attachments are solid brass and a yard wide. Each. That was a no-shit seriously fast crash, and he just stands there, doing the job. Much respect.

Starrett-Lehigh Building in NYC. It's that big friggin' building that sits between 26th and 27th streets between 11th and 12th Avenues. Yeah, it's an entire square block. One building. Amazing piece of 30's architecture. Car? Small and light weight, RWD convertible. Miata, but with either a turbo- or…

Absolutely amazing read. I, too cried like a fat kid who just dropped his cake. Good news is that one P. Dempsey has the rights to make a movie, and hopefully is working on it.

Nevermind, got my facts wrong. Please ignore this message. In fact, don't even read it.

There's a reason for that. The Simione Collection's cars all run. Not very far, not very fast, but they all run. They run in a parking lot behind the museum, and occasionally at other demo's, but all the cars run. It's an amazing sight. Here's the website for more information http://simeonemuseum.org/

That's this year's hottest gift.

It is an incredible machine. Beautiful picture also. Very, very well done.

I'm with Blondude. It is not possible to dislike the Coupe. This one resides in the Simione Collection in Philly, if you wish to see it up close and in person.

Only if a Senator is from Massachusetts and there is a bridge involved.

I was in Canada for the 2007 GP (when Kubica went for that wild ride), and the V-10's were INCREDIBLE. It wasn't so much noise, the entire experience was like being assaulted by a brick. A petrol-powered brick wrapped in several different liveries. But a brick, nonetheless. I unfortunately missed out on the V8 era…

E-Type. Offer it with a supercharged I6, NA V8 and for those rich trouser stains, a V12. 2 seat coupe, 2 seat convertible, 2+2 coupe. No fancy tech. No nanny controls, airbags only because that's the law. Make it a true, old school driver's car.

I stand corrected. I didn't read the date thoroughly enough.

Just because I can be pedantic, I will. As it was a Navy aircraft, it's actual designation was R4D. If it was a civilian aircraft, then it would have been a DC-3.
