You're right, I would bitch if they got huge bonuses too.

There's always one guy that finds it necessary to try and obnoxiously one-up whoever he gets into a conversation with. He usually doesn't even have a car.

Jesus yes. This x100.

"Earnings for the top 25 executives at the bailed-out companies must be approved by Patricia Geoghegan, the Obama administration's acting special master for executive compensation."

I actually looked it up, and yeah, they got the SSC up to 242mph on US 93 in Nevada, but that one didn't break the record. The record was set on another public road up in Washington state, where they reached 256mph.

Uhoh, looks like someone called the Fun Police.

I'll give him credit for doing the one thing that almost makes the CRV somewhat interesting. Almost being the operative word here.

Why are the odds that they're American?

If they don't have a chopper to track you, it's way easier to get away. Also, a lot of cities/towns have strict rules on how long the police can pursue for, and for what crimes justify a pursuit.

I think SSC actually tests them on public highways out in the Nevada desert somewhere. They have a few miles closed off for a half day or something and do their high speed runs.

To be fair, the original Vector W8 was almost entirely built from scratch. The M12 was a cost cutting exercise introduced when new Indonesian investors took over the company.

Manufactured entirely in-house, except for the engine block, which was from an Oldsmobile.

I know, but they really should for the sake of sportsmanship. Bugatti isn't going to damage its brand at this point, and the Veyron is a totally different kind of car from what Koenigsegg puts out anyway.

Mercedes had it as an option on the E-class for a while as well.

I have one of those too that I bought from Autogeek. It's freakin awesome, and the only way I can clean the interior of the windshield on my wedge-shaped Esprit.

Yep I was just about to post that one too.

This was one of my all-time favorite cars when I was in high school. I worked at a country club one summer and a member had one almost exactly like this; same yellow paint, but with 5-spoke alloys in gunmetal gray. It was so damn cool.

I don't understand the hate for the styling here. How many times have we bitched that literally every supercar looks exactly the same these days. Same nose, same headlights, same side windows, same everything.

It's got a 6 liter Audi W12, putting out around 500hp and 450 torque, although there is also talk of putting the V8 from the Cadillac CTS-V in it as well.

Blasphemy! Madness!
