The DSM’s final resting place, usually found within the immediate vicinity of its normal habitat: a dusty corner in the shop.

I’m sure that you’d make plenty of Tifosi queasy by putting “salvage title” and “Ferrari” in the same sentence, too.

It also brought a lot of culture to Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas. It’s always been fascinating to be in a die-hard college football town and then have a gaggle of engineers speaking German right next to you, and that’s probably one of the reasons why I was able to handle my time there for school.

So this means I won’t have to join the international drug trade to afford one of these?!?!?

One of these days I’ll get out of the damn grey. So we need to be girding ourselves for another Mugen RR?

It’s too early in the morning for German nomenclature, y’all.

Automobiles are Alabama’s number one export now! A lot of talk has been made, especially in Tuscaloosa where I’ve gotten my education, about having this factory come along and be near the Mercedes plant.

I swear to god, they better bring back the option of having a manual transmisison. I’m not begging for a clutch, but not all of us are racing neophytes that need the game to shift for us. Out of everything they’ve done to the series, this little detail is the thing that’s hit the nerve for me all of these years.

It’s the reason I’ve (delusionally) held onto my 8th Gen. That Habanero Red 2007 Si sedan has been reliable and faithful to me ever since I’ve had it, even amidst modifying almost every component system on the car and running a Richie Rich 93 tune. And I’ve drank enough of the Red-H Kool-Aid that I plan to keep it for

“This ain’t your grandma’s Caddy anymore.”

Plan to acquire Yellowbird:

That Panasonic screen just screams Hot Import Nights. What a break in flow for such a clean car.

If in some twist of fate I end up with a husband and kids:

What sort of advice would you offer someone getting ready to finish their master's in journalism and is really interested in getting into the automotive media world? Yes, things are a bit grim as our industry figures out a way to positively evolve, but I still have the faith and would rather be doing something I love

Given the gloriously gritty history between Ferrari and Ford, gonna have to go with it being a jab. So ready to see these two duke it out at Le Mans again!

And history repeats itself once again. Remember the crackdowns they had in the 90s-00s that were widespread across Southern California? It doesn't look like they really made much of an impact, given the resurgence of the LA racing scene's prominence over social media and television.

We need to re-think how we as a

No denying that, this was the experimental day to see if people would actually be interested in doing it. More of the "street car" people came out, which was not much of an issue in regards to trailered stuff flying off the road. Anything beyond a small-tired car would definitely need to be going the other direction

Now playing

Couldn't have said it any better. They need to adapt to the current motorsports climate or face what can happen if they don't.

For the record, this is the style of racing I'm supporting: running a drag strip in reverse. No-prep, street-like environment with no timing system. The full video went MIA but here's a short

To be honest about my lack of research, I would say because they are the predominant authority on drag racing in the United States.

This may come across as nit-picky, but I'll be the broken record again.
