this is going to sound embarrassing, but after looking at the chart for 2 minutes I was just about to ask you where it was, then I found it. *commits seppuku*

Excellent Chappelles Show reference.

rich people rich people problems.... if you cant park yourself use you pile of moeny to hire a chauffeur.....

How do tire barriers play into all this? Tire barriers have been in all forms of racing for decades.

Went to the NYT link. He definitely gets shocked.

You’re being a person who doesn’t know how off-contract phones are priced.

I actually really like this car. CD4 is an excellent platform, and between the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 and the AWD system with the Focus RS’ rear differential, the fact that it’s transverse-engined may not even matter. The only thing that would stop me from buying one new is the fact that I know it’s likely to drop in…

I must be old because I wasn’t really thinking about the generational dimension of the issue. But, I was looking more to history and instances of isolationism. There is archeological evidence that China once navigated the seas and had commercial and cultural exchanges with distant lands and civilizations. At one…

Lots of car companies hated grills in the late 80's through mid 90's, even amongst ICE powered cars.

The only answer I can come up with is pedestrian collision requirements. But I don’t know those specific requirements.

Now I just need to loose a little weight to fit into my dress...

Considering that vehicle rollover accidents are the most common type of accident involving fatalities, coupled with the absolute explosion of SUV sales since 1993, I’m wondering if raised speed limits are really the cause of elevated numbers of fatal crashes.

That is NOT a “Hoverboard”. True hoverboards as per the Back to the Future film series are devices while achieve the defiance of gravity specifically by way of magnetic repulsion alone.

You can probably get a couple of thousand dollars more selling a car privately than you can through a dealer. Is a couple of thousand dollars worth the hassle of listing the car; going through dozens of potential buyers; setting up appointments for test drives and tire kickers; vetting the possible buyers to ensure…

Ouch. I thought mine was bad at $650ish. Sorry to hear that :(

It makes more sense if you click through to the original paper and see that they’re using more than just foam.

Maybe I’m a grumpy, old 26 year old, but I still can’t think of drifting as anything other than the figure skating of motorsports ever. That said, I definitely don’t have the sack to throw a fucking 4,000 pound GTR sideways at 190 mph, so kudos.

I’m the second owner of a recalled toyota and I receive the notices because I think they use vehicle registrations rather than any information any dealership has.
