I haven't done any professional wheel-to-wheel racing, but I have done track days. The rules there usually say to drive predictably and hold your line - it's the responsibility of the faster driver to perform a clean pass. If you cannot perform a clean pass, do not perform a pass.

$350 for doing 85 in a 65 on the 5 / 805 interchange in San Diego. I was pacing 3 other cars along a clear stretch of highway when they all jumped on their brakes for some reason. I swerved to avoid them and THEN saw the cop on the side of the road.

As someone who briefly entertained getting a classic but was terrified by the logistics... I have to ask: where in the hell do you find replacement parts for cars like these? Surely you can't just walk down to Kragen and ask them for a 1961 Volvo P1800 clutch or whatever.

Burnout, burnout, burnout, stop... boom! That's some of the best comedic timing I've seen in a long time.

Sweet, have they got a price list for getting any of our other rights restored?

Now, imagine if that was a didgeridoo. HOW AMAZING WOULD THAT BE?

People love to point out that Polyphony Digital did the cluster, but they never mention that UI is consistently the worst thing about the Gran Turismo series. I'd really like to see more on the GT-R's cluster, because if it was as inconsistent and illogical as the game's interface I think people would be crying.

A skoosh more room to fwoosh.

Wow, New Orleans bounce? Raph, you are an absolute connoisseur.

I wish MotorWeek hadn't archived their footage as animated gifs.

I was _THIS CLOSE_ to getting my wife & her Yaris on the track at the last SCCA event I drove in. I've also tried to get my friend to get his Prius to come along... no dice.

If you think Floridians have slowed down on their crazy, you're obviously not following @_FloridaMan on twitter.

I was out of town when Gymkahna SF was filmed, but it was awesome driving around the city and seeing the massive rubber trails left behind. That shoot was probably the most fun anyone has had driving around San Francisco since Bullitt.

"I died as I lived, in luxurious style."

I still dream about that as well, but after a short chat with Matt Farah I got a bit scared off by the potential maintenance costs: http://thesmokingtire.kinja.com/oh-man-id-love…

Still the best looking car made in the history of ever.

Next time I forget my passport, I'm just going to claim to be the Queen of England.

I feel that the reason people are trying to sort out how to survive a 150mph crash in a race is to help figure out how to survive 50mph crash on the road. Racing technology doesn't just filter down to the consumer in terms of horsepower, it also filters down in terms of safety. Ultra-light composites reduce a…

First video served me a 4:30 minute ad for the new Stingray and I watched the entire thing and really, really want one.
