last night least? What the hell? I typed last but not least!

And this is why you don't let greedy old bitter uber-rich pasty-white men run your sport. No connection to reality and simply don't care if they hurt others financially, crush the hopes and dreams of up and coming drivers or kill off popular races or entire racing series.

Strap Frank to a chair and make him watch this until he gets it.

Wow. I wouldn't have thought you could hit the battery that hard. Knowing that any battery gives off heat during a quick charge process, I wonder how big the efficiency penalty is. In other words, if it takes X amount of energy to charge the battery on an 8 hour overnight charge, does it take X + Y energy to charge…

Even with a 300 mile range this thing isn't practical. Other than the over-smug who want to look down their nose at all those simpleton Prius owners, who is going to spend $80k on a sedan that you're never going to take more than a hundred or so miles from your house?

Goodwood Festival of Speed. Where else are you going to see and hear some of the most historic race cars of all time, modern F1 and LMS hardware, rally cars and pretty much any other form of four wheel racing hardware you can imagine, all in one place at one time?

"Pictured above is a Mazda-powered Lola, which we can assume is what the Dempsey team will be racing. It's not the 787B, but it's nice to see more signs of life from Mazda."

You only like him because he's standing next to that GT!

Mike Fuller over at Mullsane Corner had some pretty interesting thoughts on his FB page. He pointed out that Toyota was obviously trading downforce for straight line speed, most likely to best Audi in at least one performance stat. The tradeoff being the Toyotas were loosing silly amounts of time through the Porsche…

1st by the time GM is done backpedaling on the Volt they're going to be marketing it as a midsize sedan with a giant starter and a built in Battery Tender.

Even Tyrone Biggums thinks that price is outrageous.

Yeah, I had meant for my post to be just over-the-top enough to be humorous. Going back and re-reading it I did a pretty piss poor job of it. In fact it sounds like I'm forcing stuff onto my kid, which is most definitely not the case.

The Crocodile Audi R8. Won "Race of a Thousand Years" December 2000 in Adelaide.

We Jalops should rally AGAINST any effort by Toyota to market their beige appliances to our youth! Just like tobacco companies, breweries, computer manufacturers and software companies before them, Toyota understands that if they can get kids hooked early they will have life long customers. Unquestioningly loyal…

Word of warning for anyone going with me into combat. If we're in the four door variant, with me driving and you manning the .50... I don't care if we're under fire from every direction, if you let loose with that ma deuce while the muzzle is about eight inches over my head, I will stop the vehicle, get out and…

Kansas City -> I've got a very specific vehicle in mind. It started off life as a green base model 3rd gen. Cavalier. It's got some ridiculous body kit bolted, or more likely, drywall screwed on. All of the kit components are in a flat grey or maybe white primer. None of the panels line up right and you could measure…

Apparently so. I just ran a GIS on "drunk irishman" and that's what I got.

Taint McGroin. Known for aggressive driving, a quick temper and driving while more loaded than an outside rear at Talladega, this Catholic priest from the Emerald Isle was a force to be reckoned with throughout the late 1960's. Driving the number 66 Idaho Potato Commission Dodge, Taint rarely, if ever won, but his…

Worked with the original AC Cobra as well. IIRC Cobra #1 got a new coat of paint every time it would be sent off to a different magazine.
