Now that I look at it again I’m realizing they were really thinking ahead. That thing is all set up for hypermiling. Drag coefficient must be great on that thing.

Gotta love the 89’ Ford Probe. I had a manual turbo. I loved that car.
Honestly I guess you did. I always try to be nice, even when someone else is being rude I figure I can turn them around. I guess I had a few drinks and just got aggravated. I wasn’t asking you to teach me an 8 hour class on track etiquette. I’m just saying I don’t actually know the rules, but if you explain how I’m…
This embodies so many things that are wrong with America. The expectation that others are responsible for your behaviors and actions. Are you kidding me here? The only person responsible is the drunk driver. Even the thought or suggestion that someone else should be held accountable for his poor decisions and…
See now you’re a dick. So fuck you.
So here’s my take. Back when I had just graduated college and gotten my first job I purchased a brand new WS-6 Trans-AM. Let’s also recognize that people are complete asshats, dipshits, and careless and will slam their car doors into yours without even thinking that they did something wrong. Whenever I had to park my…
I didn’t defend anything, I commented on the fact that the guy was on a track and not the street. I do not personally know the rules that need to be followed on a track day because I have never attended one and have not gone through the training and other education that I would expect one probably needs to go through…
Ok, I understand, it is more about his attitude and unwillingless to focus on learning than anything else. If he had be a seasoned driving, making accurate and appropriate inputs while passing in safe locations according to the rules of the club/track then people would have taken less issue. I’m going to assume that…
I’m totally with you here. All you ever hear on Jalopnik comments are how if you want to race, take it to the track. So the guy takes it to the track and finds a GT3 that’s willing to help him test the car’s limits. Nope, apparently that’s not good either. So let me ask, where exactly is it recommended to drive the…
You may pretty much be alone in that opinion. In regards to individuals that do car review videos Chris is my favorite. He is not self absorbed, clearly a “car guy”, delivers great relevant information about the elements of the car most of us care about. I love his reviews, its a shame that you don’t see the…
To me it all depends on what you are planning to use the car for. Many people like to think they will track it and if they actually do of course a DCT is the way to go. For the 99% that will never actually use the machine where time counts then the answer is still manual. I have driven some very fast paddle shift…
Right, but by that logic if if someone was driving at whatever the “normal speed of traffic” is then they could be in the left lane. Again... I’m not arguing with you, I’m 100% with the keep to the right movement, just pointing out the ambiguous language. I wish there was more of a focus on having drivers be…
I actually completely agree with you and do think that the drivers in this country need to learn how to be courteous and keep to the right... BUT, that being said, the link you posted says keeping right is only if you are going slower than the speed limit...
So I’m not sure that the non-resident compact really works all that well. Some states that are part of this still don’t actually participate. My friend has an Ohio license, but does a lot of driving in NJ. The first time he got a ticket in NJ he called Ohio equivalent of the DMV to inquire about this. They told them…
My problem is that I love the LS and now the LT engines from GM. I love how they sound, I love their nice wide torque curves, I love their reliability. Something tells me though that if that motor made it 120k miles with rental grade abuse its probably pretty damn solid. I’d worry about the rest of the car…
I thought we were already on board with this concept with the idea that this would be bought for driving purposes and not some false hopes of retained value or lack of inevitable massive continued depreciation? Honestly, I would DD to 200k miles and consider it a win. But yes I hear what you are saying the LT4 would…
So I’m probably the only one on here that thought, “Yeah that’s a viable option when the original grenades.” Honestly, getting that thing at such a deep discount sounds totally worth it and if the engine does grenade itself, stuff an LT4 in there which will probably weigh about the same and have a bunch more torque.…
For me it was always a toss up between the Lambo sesto elemento and the veneno. Part of me loves the sesto elemento for its all CF concept. Its a shame I’ll never seen either one of these in real life.
Very cool info, that’s impressive to see for such a low volume car, but cool nonetheless. I would have doubted that statement before I went through various types of tires on my E46 M3. When I had to change the tires the first time around I decided to go with a non-OEM set. I found ones that were supposed to be rates…
I have always loved the Aventador and after having driven the smaller Gallardo on a race track I am a complete Lambo fan. Note: I drove a 430 Scuderia and a 458 Italia on the same day on the same track and would STILL pick the Gallardo.
