downshift

After driving my 2011 on the track and what I learned from the professionals with it, this car is truly spectacular. You can hate it, but there is a reason it is so well loved by all the car mags and praised by pro racers in the last several competitions I've read.

He's really asking $8,600 for a standard Valjoux movement in his fancy case? Crack pipe.

Road rage is pretty common around here, but so is inattentive driving. I've had people cut me off and then want to start a fight when you honk at them.

I feel you, man. We all learn the hard way. Try shifting more next time and do it real loudly.

Reinforcing the passenger floorboard so it doesn't blow off when your manifold is in danger.

You are probably quite right.

Yeah, I can see it now. I'm surprised the guy didn't detail what happened to his bike and body as well.

Did the guy recording the crash drop his bike out of sympathy or was his damaged?

Thank you, sir. I tried to love Forza but couldn't get into the arcade like handling. I still play Gran Turismo nearly every day.

"One free helping of sex"

I've seen a lot of variations of the "sexy cop" costume throughout the years, but that one has to be the laziest effort yet.

I have this on my 2011 Miata and I wouldn't give it up. There's a tiny button on each door handle for locking/unlocking and one hidden along the edge of the trunklid. Once you're inside there is a knob where the key would go that operates like a normal ignition switch.

The flame shooting RX-8 is giving me a fizzing sensation.

I see Snoopy has his stealthy boob watching sunglasses on like the rest of us guys, but he hasn't mastered the "look with your eyes, not with your head" move.

And yet that is the most appealing picture of one I've ever seen.

Yeah, they were almost exclusively driven by pricks who wanted to brag about driving a BMW and these were dirt cheap used.

I kind of agree with you. The joys of a lightweight yet low horsepower car are many. I'd be more excited about suspension tweaks and sticky rubber.

It's even in pussycat magnet yellow! Am I using that right?

And now today is a good day!

This car has been unbelievably rewarding on the road and at the track. That is all that matters to me. I like to think that even if I could afford a Ferrari I'd still find it charming.
