“Bringing $9 a gallon gas to places OUTSIDE California!”

1870 pounds is light compared to a street car, but kinda heavy for a CF monocoque’d track car. 

Saw it one day at PIR.  There was a couple in the pit-box next to me with a former flood Z06 that they had bought, stripped the interior, swapped the computers, and had the engine/tranny serviced, and they tracked the hell out of it.  And I’m sure it was A LOT less than $200k to buy, or run for a few years on top of…

Probably wouldn’t have the neck muscles left to run one for very many laps.  That’s why I only said a few laps of each.

Things I would expect for a million dollar ticket price:
* A few laps in an F4 car
* A few laps in an F3 car
* A few laps in an F2 car
* A few laps in an F1 car (last year’s car is fine)
* Ride along with Bernd in the safety car
* FULL pit/track pass I want to be allowed to go anywhere safe at anytime
* Wave the checkered…

I’ve owned a couple of Kias (one VERY early when they were their own company, and one post bankruptcy), and I’ve helped a couple of friends buy Kias. MAN these are some skeezy fuckers! They go for EVERY add-on, $900 DOC fees, treat everyone like a 450 credit scored addict trying to scam them out of a car. I was paying…

I REALLY REALLY liked the look of the CH-R when I first saw one.  I continued to admire from afar until I got one as a rental in Tampa.  A week of driving it around, and my mind was changed.  Cramped, didn’t drive all that well, and was just all around MEH.  

I’ve bought and sold A LOT of cars. The best treatment has always been at the higher line dealers. The Porsche dealer who had the sales manager pick me up at the airport. The Lexus dealer who stayed open a later than normal, and had ALL the paperwork done so that I just signed, and drove away. The Mercedes dealer who…

What does it look like upside down in a ditch on fire?

Back in the early days of Youtube I happened upon a video of some guys who had stripped them, added rollbars, and were tracking the ever loving dog shit out of them.  It looked like TREMENDOUS fun.  Think of it as “Spec Yugo” and I don’t think you’d be far off.

They should just follow NASCAR’s lead (heh) and tell the leader that if he doesn’t slow down, they’re going to call a “competition safety car”. To close the pack up.

So, if Ross Brawn comes back, they need to get Jean Todt to come with him, and then somehow get Mick in as a driver. It’ll be like the old days!

Why is there a Ford badge on the front of that Kia?

I had a BRAND NEW Prius Prime as a loaner a couple of months ago and WOOO BOY was it horrid inside.  I understand they’re going for light, but in the process they settled on “CHEAP”.  The plastics were horrible.  It was just BAD.

Stick Blue ‘86 Toyota Camry.  Light, fun, would go anywhere, and I changed the alternator on the side of the road with just a ratchet.  Non-interference engine so that *WHEN* the timing belt broke the engine would just shut off and not destroy itself.

Ariel Atoms from Europe/UK. As they’re much cheaper there even when considering shipping and the conversion rate.

I’m sure EA cancelled this because it was too much competition to their upcoming “Need for Speed: Money Grab”, or whatever other piece of shovelware shit they’re about to release.

It does indeed look good! I stopped watching a few years ago when I got tired of parking lot tracks, and “taking the shortcut” at Monaco. Do they run the full course at the famous tracks yet? (Trying to determine if I should check them out again).

Also, why does high-speed charging matter?

They don’t like to be told about the prices either.  On Facebook they keep posting (Where “they” is Las Vegas F1 or some similar name) “The stakes have never been higher!”, and I respond with “And neither have the ticket prices!”.  I’ll get notified that people liked or commented on my comment, but I can no longer get…
