I maintain that if we're going to do DeLorean spec racing, it's got to be rally - because where we're going we don't need... roads.

I haven't seen Sir Jackie Stewart mentioned yet. Anyone who can teach Cap'n Slow to drive - and unironically rock a tam while he does so - has got to score some points.
@Chad Curtis: Based on this article? My advice is to keep one hand on the e-brake.
@Leeeeena the Jalopchick: Hah, I thought I was the only one who did that and looked for it in others. Between engine braking and rev-matching downshifts, the wear items on my car will last forever!
Whoah, are they hoisting that thing by the wheels? I mean, I guess the wheels already have to be strong enough to bear some insane forces, but that looks like a lot of force to put on a single spoke.
Very well earned!
As a die-hard fan of Subaru, Sam Smith and rally I'm morally obligated to buy one of these. You'll see my dollars within the week, EtherCycle.
@luisthebeast: Hey man, Subie swung first by leaving the WRC. You gotta let prodrive move on. It's healthier for everyone this way.
@Randy87: This is a great idea. Hmm, let's see...
@luisthebeast: We laugh, but that's probably just the 3001 model year Miata.
@JalopJeff: Seconding that. At least I'll have someone to hang out with when I miss the cotillion.
Is there an automobile equivalent of a squid? I'd bet five bucks that this guy is one of them.
@rodrigotrigo: I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
@Turbo Driver: I wouldn't be surprised if the sharp downturn in NASCAR viewership is also related to the rise in popularity of LeMons, for the very reasons you list.
Lotus. I still can't trick myself into getting one but, as long as they favor spartan speed over land-barge luxury, they'll have a place in my heart.
@Blitzschnell: Yeah, this is 40 seconds of cool footage padded with a few minutes of poetry wank.
@BigHarv: Are these actually fun? The one review I read when I was considering one made it sound disappointing, but the concept seems really sound (read as: I didn't want to drop the cash for an Elise).
Between Justin's engrossing, straight-shooter writing style and Sam's knack for metaphor and hyperbole, I predict great things in the future.
Reachin' for money, methinks.
@vigor: But that's $45 dollars of Jagerbombs that wouldn't get pounded! THEY HAD NO CHOICE, BRO!
