The Bugatti Veyron has always been crying out for a recreation of this paint job.

I like the Sibilo more and more as I look at it. The body colored windows are a pretty wild detail, and the effect works from some angles.

I was referring to Better Place. They recycled an idea from a century ago. Look for the story here about electric cabs in NYC. This model was also shown in a book I had thirty years ago, that time they were using electric city buses with battery trailers. The batteries slid off the side of the trailer onto a rail…

Maybe someone else can pick up where Better Place left off.

I used to drink with Finns when I lived in NYC. They told me you can get punched in the face in Finland just for smiling. Apparently, it's assumed to be an insult there.

There was no way for Kimi to make the corner with Perez there. Perez was playing with the rules all race to make drivers cut the chicane to avoid contact so they'd have to give him the position. I suppose that either makes him smart for taking advantage of badly interpreted rules, or a jackass for making drivers…

At one point they owned what passed for the British motor industry. It was BMW that sold Land Rover to Ford and Rover to Proton, retaining Mini and Rolls-Royce. I guess calling the mess British Motor Works didn't seem like a good marketing call.

So it isn't good enough that they're paying for his stupidity, they have to make him feel good about trying to get a shot instead of protecting his equipment when this outcome became obvious?

How is the cameraman on the hook for it when Mercedes said they "will make a goodwill gesture of helping repair/replace the equipment?" Maybe when the facts ruin your story, it isn't really a story.

I'm all for curing this problem utilizing proper exhaust systems, the kind that don't pass through turbochargers.

I'm no fan of GM. I'm simply stating a fact. You're welcome to research it and get back to me. I LOVED the BMWs of 1961-2001. I owned them, wrenched on them, bored people to death about them, drove them a bit past their limits, compared everything else to them in a non-flattering way, and thought about them when I…

I'd like to see him drive the Ferrari F2004 car at the Ring. The combination of Schumacher and F2004 was the fastest in F1 history, with current lap records at the tracks that are still used for Grands Prix.

What a fantastic-looking car. Back when the Americans were cranking out massive land yachts with tail fins, the Germans put out this classy and compact design. It's clean, understated and simple, but it's very eye-catching even today. Love the Hoffmeister kick in the window. And dare I say that the BMW kidney grille…

What I meant was that they're copied rather than individually hand written. When you find one on your car, chances are there are other identical cards on the windshields of all the other older cars in the area.

If you look at the card carefully, you'll notice it is actually printed instead of hand written. There are a few business models built around these cars. Some of them are put out by scrap scavengers that will dispose of your expensive eyesore and give you a fraction of its inflated scrap value. Some of them are just…

This is actually what I thought of when I saw the question. Too bad there hasn't been anything tasteful in their catalog in about a decade. Maseratis were nice, but I would have gone for a 3500 GT in a color that couldn't be confused with purple.

Had the elderly man been driving a Honda, the panel gaps wouldn't have been big enough for Rudolph Cenci to ride out the incident with his fingers wedged under the hood.

Very much like that. Oddly, some people seem invested in denying it for Mercedes-Benz though. Why is that?

Both versions having the same greenhouse points to more commonality than a floor pan and some electronic systems. Even the door openings are the same.
