Last I checked the Carrera GT is a deathtrap as described by numerous race drivers. The car is supposedly scary to drive at the limit and the limit comes abruptly and with dire consequence. Yes this is all just third party hearsay and of course I have never driven one. My point being that the Carrera GT’s “fun factor”…

You know my buddy had that generation M6 and I really wasn’t all that impressed with the S85. The fact is that 385 lb ft of torque is just really lacking. You had to wind that thing out and it burned a quart of oil every thousand miles. I far prefer the 4.4 twin turbos being used now, low end torque just makes a world…

Honestly a V-10 may not have the torque you’d find even in the V-6 turbo. They may want to twin turbo the 10 as well...

Clearly you haven’t thought this through... needs direct methanol injection as well.

I thoight it was the smack capacitor pushing out 1.21 gibraltard a minute

That may be the first time I’ve heard someone defend the salary of a politician. Although as you say if they were actually not getting kickbacks and bribes from every which direction then maybe it would be fair. However, those salaries, often for life from what I understand, and then on top of that all their nefarious…

You know, you make a good point about how much less America really is a land of opportunity than it was 30 years ago... I don’t know what I could do to fix the middle class’ decreasing ability to maintain a good quality of life. I do know one thing though. The basis for most of the corruption and inequity in our…

No I was saying that to you having all of your accounts, bills, finances in general was the commitment as opposed to the marriage. I also do not believe in marriage, but for a different reason. I think the government has no business in my relationship. If I want to be with someone for the rest of my life I will. The…

Ok, I can see your point completely and totally understand why it is important to you and a symbol of your commitment to a life and family together. I can happily say that this is my first wife and will be my only one :) Not a sixth for sure. Our situation is a bit different. I had been very career focused since a…

I would not pay $4,000 for this pile of turds. I would pay $500 as I would for any other junker. Maybe add $100 due to the interior cleanliness. I would then use this as a beater or commuter car. Except that I wouldn’t, because my beater commuter car is a CLS55 AMG.

That’s a bit judgmental of you isn’t it? So just so I understand, your opinion is that since I haven’t opened up all of my accounts I have not committed fully to my marriage? To me that is not the definition of marriage. That’s not what I want in life. If that’s not what I want why do I care what someone else’s…

Well we have good clubs for auto x and lots of meet ups, however anything that I can think of is BYOC (Bring Your Own Car). I still want a factory / dealership RS5 to play with for a day here and there. There are also things like Monticello racetrack that cost something like $100k a year in membership but then gives…

Yup. Last I checked this was supposed to be the land of freedom. Where we are free to live and do what we want to make ourselves happy so long as it does not get in the way of others’ freedoms and happiness. At least that’s supposed to be the overarching theme until the lobbyists get involved, but I digress. Different…

Cheating sucks. Yes that’s a personal opinion, but I learned at a very young age that as soon as I cheated even a little bit in a game it was ruined. Permanently. I never cheat, haven’t in the last 25 years of gaming, now with online gaming it really does hurt the experience for people like me that are very against…

I was thinking the same exact thing. I think that is a lot better bang for the buck than the R8 and at that price I would buy myself that gift. I’ve had a supercharged M3 and currently drive a CLS AMG, but I would really love to try out the RS5 for a day. Not to mention, whipping around someone else’s wheels has a…

So here’s how it is. Marriage means different things to different people. It does not have a definition of, “Now you will open up all your bank accounts and share all, money, property, assets, and investments.” I have been married for 7 years and my wife pays me monthly from her account for the same type of common…

I agree that at some point he will be broke, but I also think it will take a few more than 5 years. I definitely think we should have an over under pool with the various year bets on the board. I am going to go with 13 years after his last fight personally. He’s a total idiot with his money, but there’s so damned much…

Yeah I have been wondering for a while why you can’t put springs and shocks on car bumpers. That would in theory satisfy the whole impact energy absorption while at the same time removing the requirement that the whole front of your car has to fold up like an accordion. I’m sure someone out there with a physics degree…

I realize that modern cars are designed with crumple zones, however that means that they crumple very easily. Older cars from the 70’s had steel frames that did not bend easily at all, but the consequence was that all the force was transferred to the occupants during impact. They were not however tin cans, they had…

Ugh, don’t remind us of the impending doom that is the automated car. On the bright side maybe I will return to the stage I was at when I was 17 and thought of other cars on the road as similar to cones on an auto-x course. Hmm. Now that brings a thought to mind: a highway full of nothing but empty “auto-uber” cars…
