Docking boats is very hard for inexperienced people, especially in a 50 foot long boat. Flipping of boats only happens when you're being an idiot, doing something you're not supposed to do. I've ridden in a boat doing 135 and it felt very solid. I've also driven a boat at about 115 and again, it just feels solid as a

Dude, don't start talking about something you have zero experience with. High-end muscle boats like this are essentially race boats with creature comforts. They use the exact same hulls as race boats do, and often enough they even use the same power. And no, the 200+ boats don't need 10,000 hp, they usually need about

You're more likely to fuck things up next to the dock than at high speeds in these types of boats, assuming you're not near other boats or in rough water when you go balls out.

'The first sterndrive engine package ever fully designed in-house — from block to prop — by Mercury Racing engineers, the 1350 delivers an on-water experience that will drive you farther and longer than ever before."

He's a coward. He should have gone with the 1650. I know Mercury usually reserves those for actual racing applications, but he wouldn't be the first to have one in his personal collection. And yes, I know that you need 112-octane race fuel for the 1650, but otherwise why not? /sarcasm

I'm a valet, and while I've never done any of this, especially not in a parking garage, I have watched enough YouTube videos that I absolutely know I could do this (in somebody else's car.). Bring it on, Travis.

I am proud to say that I always tap my shoes off, avoid puddles, and care greatly for customer cars. However, I definitely can't say the same for ANY of my coworkers.

Now playing

This is wonderful, but I still prefer swamp buggy races:

All I know is that I went to my first autocross this past weekend and a Focus ST and Fiesta ST were incredibly fast around the corners. They both had great drivers and were pulling some crazy times compared to what should be faster cars. I have a new-found respect for those cars.

I feel like this kid may just have no idea exactly how horrible the things he did were, and that before this happened he had no idea what "consequences" are. This kid is really messed up, and I almost feel bad. ALMOST, but don't. Either way, I blame the parents for creating such a monster.

I lost it, that was hilarious. And the timing is perfect as the melted snow is just being replaced by orange cones as I type.

It has it's positives and negatives... But mostly negatives. So please come join us. We've got some spare freedom lying around that you can enjoy.

Ahhh, now that I know you live in Brazil, I understand that that is a big "if." My family hosted and exchange student from Brazil who explained to us how expensive cars there are. While he was with us, his mom bought a brand new Chevy Cruze, which I now understand is a big deal. As for the Camaro, our Brazilian friend

I've found that I still enjoy driving it despite how heavy and ungainly it is. It's got a very traditional V8, meaning it's got a great low end and fills out its power curve quite well. Launching the car is smoky and fun, exactly as a muscle car should be. However, one thing I never see mentioned is how comfortable

All I'm really saying is that this kid is fucked up, enough so that he needs to go to rehab according to the judge. People get off on claims of mental instability all the time, everybody is just mad because this time it happened to somebody with money.

What's the point of prison? Most would say it is to reform a person. We don't know much about this case or this kid. I'm not saying I would have sentenced him in this manner, but I'm sure the judge found very good reason to believe that he would have a better chance of reform in rehab than in prison. As for the

We were doing 70 down a river when a jet boat decides to do a 180 and stop abruptly a few hundred yards ahead of us. I think he forgot that boats don't have brakes.

It's crazy good fun. Too bad I moved away from my parents and won't be seeing that boat for awhile.

My dad and I pride ourselves on being good boaters. And I think a lot if the courtesy is because when you're traveling across the water at high speed, there are no lane markings keeping people in line. This means that if people don't act predictably a very serious accident could occur. Although when it comes to

It's a 28-foot Eliminator Daytona with a pair of Chevy big blocks. The first iteration of the motors got us to about 112. After the rebuild the new motors get us up to about 123-124.
