Yeah, you know something? I’m gonna actually go “NP” on this one, and I’m gonna take it a step further.

I thought the same thing! It’s so wee it couldn’t cool a spicy fart.

especially with that username

Favorite example of this: I was driving two friends home, somewhere at least half an hour out of my way. I noticed about halfway there that neither of them had their seatbelt on. I told them that they really ought to put them on. They laughed and said, “why?”. I was doing maybe 45mph on a deserted road, and swerved…

Sometimes I wonder what cultural inside jokes we’ve missed in ancient art.

consider this: This force-fed 4 banger very nearly matches the horsepower and torques of the 2010 Mustang GT.

I think this is infinitely easier in warm climates, especially those not too far from the ocean. Where I live in Oregon we've had people repeating this same experiment for decades, with varying degree of size of vehicles—there are some pretty cushy converted school buses.

And the donk went to sea, and became a dunk.

Dude, deconstructing an accident isn't "know it all", it's "I made these mistakes and this happened — lesson learned/learn this lesson too."

With all the talk about insurance coverage... has anyone else ever considered that maybe standard insurance policies *should* cover balling the car up at a race track? We don't want people bombing around on back roads doing dangerous shit in public; but if you crash in a canyon your collision policy covers it. Crash…

It's this side of bench racing that sucks. Everybody wants to talk about what they would have done differently, and how they would have saved it.

Reminds me of this.

It's registered out of state. It's federally EPA and FMVSS exempt under the "classic car" rule. However, individual states have their own requirement for titling and registration. CA requires CARB certification since the vehicle was never sold in the US and it does not have the sticker under the hood saying, "50…

I had an FD. It would start 50% of the time, every time.

1985 Mazerati bi turbo.

The most unreliable car I ever had was a 2001 Nissan Maxima. Something about it just wanted to fall apart, desperately. The first time it went bad, I was driving on a 45 mile an hour speed limit road and all of the lights began to dim. The air conditioning turned off. My radio died. Shortly thereafter, power steering…

My 1973 Datsun 620.

I was driving my only car, a 1997 Acura Integra Type R, when I realized daily driving a gutted track car with no sound deadening with a single fiberglass racing bucket inside and suspension stiff enough to shatter teeth, that maybe it wasn't a practical daily. So, I did what any true gearhead would…

I don't see "sell car and buy $5000 S-class" anywhere on these charts.

I agree....but you know that Werner Von Braun basically was our space program and developed the Saturn rocket? He was a German.

I'll look up "warrantied" if you look up "deverbal adjective" and "adjectival participle."
