I was looking for this comment because I thought the same thing. It would take an entire flock of pigeons to affect a full size jet engine, not to say they aren't a nuisance anyway.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to clarify, even going from the WRX to the STI is a pretty big change in suspension, brakes, engine, and other control bits.

While the Lancer Evo is about two times the price of the base lancer, the WRX STI is only about $10k more than the WRX. Can you count the Impreza as the base of that though? It's not really the same car anymore. I'm not sure about the R32, but the 911 Turbo is definitely more than the base 911.

HEY FATTY BOOM BOOM! I'm going to run you over...

I've always broken it down as such: the first number is the series, 3,4,5,7 ect. then the next two are just the hierarchy of engines, eg: a 28 is lower than a 35, then either the i or the x drive. Now, I'm not a huge BMW geek, but that seems to be the easiest way to differentiate on the streets.

I don't get the obsession with making the model names match the displacement of the engine. It's not like we expect a Corvette Stingray to have a stingray in a tank in the engine bay. They are just numerical designations for the models, those that actually care (Jalops) will just know that a -30i has the 2.0 and the…

This is a major problem with them, I had the same thing happen on the highway with a silver sedan. The person that I was riding with almost went to pass right into them, I strongly suggested that they just wait behind the slower car for the rest of the ride.

Isn't that color the indicator of the hybrid powertrain? Maybe Hennessy is going green.

Auto-on headlights. I see way to many drivers with the headlights off when it is dusk. Being able to see clearly is quite important, and people don't realize how much of a difference headlights will make, even before the sun is fully set. When it's raining or foggy, I will also see lots of cars without their…

Probably the part where the took the name from a Steve McQueen movie featuring Mustang Fastbacks, and, oh yeah, the part where IT MAKES 720 HORSEPOWER.

Potosi Beer, Markesan, Ringbrothers from Spring Green? Wisco represent!

Used 2000 P71 Crown Vic. It was silver, still had the spotlight, and was an undercover car in its working life. I picked it up for $1500 at auction. Within a month, my brother, who regularly drove a 99 Plymouth Neon, had it on it's side in a ditch with the both of us in it. I was PISSED. Freedom came afterwards. The C…

£20,000 is about $34,000, which is quite a bit for a bike. That is the range of a Ducati Panigale RR, BMW K1600GTL, or Harley Davidson Road Glide Custom. Weird thing is, living in Wi, I see a lot of Harleys that are that price range, and only get ridden on the weekends.

This is immediately what I thought of. Jalops are a big, and overall nice community. I'm sure you can find someone local to anywhere and verify identity and set up a deal.

And it looks like you have a correct white balance to boot!

The video doesn't look that extreme if you just watch the truck, but when you focus on the horizon, the sway really shows. Next time, (if there is one), put the camera closer to perpendicular to the direction of travel and we can watch the horizon see-saw back and forth as you throw that thing around!

I can't wait to camp there this weekend for the AMA double header! Such a beautiful track.

From the description: "The speedo was 20mph out as it had been recently replaced, GPS verified was 211 mph."

Car manufacturers can just do what the drug companies do. Start a large fund to pay out any litigation. A few hundred million split between the major manufacturers isn't much per company, but can pay out to quite a few cases. Then, when some idiot person doesn't look and steps out into traffic, they can sue, and the…

That big red button is an electrical emergency stop, not suitable for the on/off cycles that a start/stop button sees. Seeing as it's Fiat, it's a good idea for when an electrical fire breaks out on the mangled test chassis wiring.
