That Lotus would have been doing the lotus position if that truck had landed on it...

I am old enough to remember a truck was, well, a truck. Strictly utilitarian. Good old farm machine for carrying hay bales. I even remember the cute smallish Toyota trucks of the 80s. Then, something happened. Someone in Detroit got the idea that people wanted a Cadillac with a bed in the back. They even added extra…

Michael, why do I have this feeling that you feel the same about Jews who are politically conservative and on the right as well? In all honesty, I am closer philosophically on many things with Pat Robertson than I am with say something that comes out of Haaretz or leftists Jews in politics and entertainment. Yes, that…

Your bias belies your lack of knowledge on the subject. When one knows little or nothing about a subject, it is best to keep one's mouth shut. Who cares if you have done HPDE. I have done the same, but that hardly makes me an expert. Obviously, you have never seen any magazine or video comparisons of the two cars let…

Well, if you had said it that way, I wouldn't have said anything. You said that it keeps up with new cars in the performance era which suggests new cars, not just keeping the Evo X on life support from year to year. Mitsubishi has said much about the XI over the past few years. Read the threads on evolutionm.net…

My son is a lot guy at a local Chrysler/Dodge dealer. He took a new Grand Cherokee to fill it up with gas. On the way, a fire broke out and he had to abandon ship. 911 help was sought and the vehicle is a write off. Apparently, the fuel line was disconnected. Vehicle only had a couple of miles on it.

Definitely going to be watching. Already watched practice today. Lewis looks good but Nico might get pole tomorrow. Nico needs a miracle because even if he wins, he will still lose the WDC. Now, if Alonso would make one of his rocket starts and nerf Lewis off, then Nico might stand a chance. Gotta hand it to Team…

"but its still keeps up with all thew new cars in performance dept" Are you serious? What new car performance wise has Mitsubishi come up with other than the Evo X? Outlander Sport? Outlander? Mirage? And, where is the Evo XI that we have been told is coming for the last 4 or 5 years? I dare you to type what you said…

It is painfully obvious how little you know about the subject. Even the STi guys grudgingly admit the superiority of the Evo. And, it is not "assuring", but rather "assured". Assuring is to make sure or certain. I know I have that quality when I write here on Jalopnik, but I am assured by people like you that it is…

I have a 2011 Evo X GSR with full bolt ons. Totally enjoyable car. Paid 33K new for it. What bugs the heck out of me is that the 2015 Evo X is not getting the Recaro seats due to them not being able to meet 2015 safety standards. And, the price has gone up slightly. To compensate for that, every Evo X should have…

WRX performance for an STi price? You're hilarious. Sadly, you are so out of touch with reality, I can feel it from where I am typing. I have to assume you have never driven either one. As an owner of a 2011 Evo X, I can assure you that even the STi cannot keep pace...

It is too bad that it won't come here because a powerful wagon is so uber kool. I think Cadillac hit a home run with the CTS-V wagon even though it was too expensive for my budget. VW has a winner here and should capitalize on it.

Why is it that Bernie would been right at home at the court of King Louis XVI? I can see him hanging out with Marie Antoinette and telling the peasants and riff raff to eat cake when they are hungry for bread. The spirit of Bernie circa 2014 would be telling the lesser F1 teams to survive on bread crumbs and those…

Um, I was saying that tongue in cheek, hence my comment about cartels and the Sherman antitrust law.. Obviously, antritrust laws do not apply to F1.

It is too bad that antitrust laws cannot be applied to F1. If they were, then the top 5 teams would be guilty of forming cartels and would be in contravention of the Sherman antitrust law. What we have here today is so far removed from first 3 decades of the modern F1 era, that it would be virtually unrecognizable to…

And such is the saying, "in the right place at the right time". You are one very fortunate person and I envy you.

Great post and perhaps the best one at explaining the evolution of the franchise. Thanks!

My dad talked of the first time his destroyer-USS Picking crossed the equator for the first time during WW2. This was a first time experience for just about everyone on the ship. Said it was a lot of fun. Looks like everyone is having fun in those pics. Great way to relieve the stress and smells.

Sadly, the video is about as close as most of us will ever come to seeing either a P1 or 918. Gotta say that the Martini livery gives the edge to the Porsche. Somehow, Martini + Porsche = win!

Speaking of being a piece of shit, you are a piece of shit yourself. Funny, but others have said the same thing, yet you singled me out from all other comments. This must make me special in your book. See, I cannot stand trolls and boy, are you ever trolling.
