I’ve seen enough Roadkill episodes where the car backfires out the carb to know that putting your hand over it while spraying starting fluid is probably not a good idea.

My favorite was when V8 Supercars ran at Yas Marina. The alcohol sponsored teams ran the same liveries, just without the actual brand names.

Yes they are capable of those speeds, but they don’t normally cruise at that speed. Going fast costs money, so most flights today are slower than they once were.

It’s happened before. I remember a couple races (many years ago, not recently) where most of the field was taken out by the half-way mark. It ends up being only like 10 cars still racing (instead of the original 40-something), and a bunch of guys who ripped off their remaining bodywork and are trying to scavenge for…

Right? Like the stuntman in the cable cutting the car scene seriously could have been decapitated if he didn’t duck in time.

Umm yeah watch the video again. They only added something to drag it for the very first shot. For all but two scenes they are dragging a real 9,000 lb metal safe on concrete.

As someone who also had a decent amount of credit card debt, it’s not that you go out and buy stuff that costs thousands of dollars, it’s just a bunch of little stuff that adds up over time. Maybe you’re in school working a minimum wage job and you can’t afford groceries one week, so you put it on your credit card.…

It sounds like it would be the real life version of “Slaughter Race” from Wreck-it Ralph.

I was literally about to ask if Houston was becoming the new Florida. I feel I’ve seen more of this coming out of Houston lately instead of Florida.

Smart man leaving the hood off, that way it doesn’t go flying mid-drift.

Well they didn’t say poor, they said less wealthy. Since the 1% make at least $480,000 a year and the 0.1% make at least $7.5 million a year, I think the people in those groups probably consider anyone making less than $100,000 a year “poor.” So yes, screw the “poor” people buying new cars.

Well I’m not a fan of leopard print, but otherwise no. I certainly wouldn’t have a problem with anyone else wanting to wear it because unlike you, what other people decide to wear doesn’t trigger me into thinking the world is going to end. I also don’t need to prove to others how manly I am because I don’t give a…

I’m so sorry they are threatening your masculinity my little snowflake.

I’ve always thought Ken Block’s US flag on the roof scoop was a nice touch.

$49k is for the base turbo 4-cylinder Velar. From UK car sites it looks like this is priced at about 90,000 British pounds, which is about $110,000 USD. That doesn’t seem to far off as you can spec a Velar with the supercharged V6 to about $100,000 USD already.

She’s mixing up cars. The $142K and the link go to a Ranger Rover Autobiography, not a Velar.

Elizabeth, your link and price are for a Range Rover Autobiography, not a Ranger Rover Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic. I know the RR line is confusing, but they are totally different cars.

Crazy Leo is like the human embodiment of the “spirit of rally.”

Well cut-off switches are required by the the US Department of Transportation, so it’s a pretty good assumption to make if you live in the US.

It doesn’t place any extra wear on the motor. You have to remember there is no metal to metal contact in an electric motor, except the bearings supporting the rotor and the gears between the motor and wheels. All regen braking is doing is basically reversing the flow of energy back to the battery, instead of taking…
