Man, too many people don't know that negative reinforcement doesn't work nearly as well as positive reinforcement. If they said to everyone "hey, we put up red light cameras all over, and if they don't catch you running a light all month, we'll give you ten bucks" then people would welcome them with open arms.

Seein' all that sliding around the 'ring made me want a 1:1 unpaved "Dirtburgring" for WRC.

re: 5th - So wait a minute... they're calling it a "hybrid", which they're saying is short for "hybrid function", not "hybrid drivetrain"? I'm not seeing any mention of any motive force aside from the ICE. Did they really just try and pull a naming stunt like THAT in this era?

If I had fuckoff money, I'd put the engine from a Ducati 999 into a 7 replica. Man that engine + dry clutch sounds great. It's like a jar full of robot bees having an orgy.

I once started a crusade to replace "lol" with YHH for "YAR HAR HAR". It worked about as well as you'd expect.

I moved to Phoenix and got my Az license in 2000; it didn't expire until 2045.

Nah, I'm willing to bet that he and Kojima agree with you.

OOoooh, thanks for that link. I live on the west coast and it's nice to know there's an option that doesn't involve flying out to the east coast (or destroying my own car).

That's some amazing work. That guy just needs to find himself a designer and start making original work.

I hate to dip into the ancient meme bank, but if you'll indulge me for a moment:

Naryoril did a great job of summarizing, but I'll add two brief things.

It may be. Do they make a McLaren bodykit for the Countach?
