Flippin a go-kart - that is something I have never managed to do.

Pretty sure that's a rental Ford Fusion, the rental because of the obvious "No Smoking or $$$$ cleaning fee will apply", the Fusion because I recognize the Sirius sticker on the driver's window. Saw one just like it today at work.

The "three men on a match" thing is a bit of an urban (soldier's?) legend. Wikipedia has a good write up on it.

You'd have to be high to go with this ad and forget that Spirit Airlines is one of the 2o-worst airlines in the world based on SkyTrax customer reviews.

Simms clearly gave a lot of thought to how much damage this machine could cause. Perhaps fortunately for the Boer settlers, the War Car wasn't finished in time to see action in the Boer Wars, but instead was finished and presented in 1902 at the Salon de l'Automobile et du cycle in Brussels.

They're both lovable freaks, but of the two, j'ai choisi le Citroen.

It's fugly because racecar. Function > Form, alas.

A new candidate picture for the "Meanwhile, in Russia" meme.

I see and drive Chrysler 200's every day at work - I work for a rental car company, and, naturally, we have a lot of them - and I'm pretty certain I'm looking at the same car in the picture. Note that the lens of the video camera seems to be wide-angle, and thus the car seems longer than it actually is.

I second the motion of a Sprinter.

"Hmm. After suffering through the fiasco of the launch, is it now safe to return to SimCity?"

The immediate post-war Willys-Overland Jeepster didn't sell well because, I suspect, the target market consisted of returned veterans of WWII, and the last thing they wanted after winning the war was to continue to drive around in a Jeep.

Or the Oldsmobile Bravada from the 2001 Indy?

I was mountain biking with a friend in the Don Valley here in Toronto a few years back, he was ahead of me on the trail. I spotted a large tree stump up ahead. The trail did a sharp turn around it. I noted the position of the stump then looked ahead, just in time to see my buddy hit it. We weren't going fast, his rim…

So, why would you buy this over the Transit?

It was an old Chieftan - perhaps one in private/museum hands - and not a Challenger but that's largely irrelevant since it is as you say, a purely pyrotechnic show. Both the smoke coming from out of the muzzle and the Yugo explosion are rigged.

Did I know that the Yugo was "Holy Crap Levels of Cheap"? Why, yes, I did, which is why it's #2 on my 10 Worst Cars of the 1980's FP article.

Has a Pontiac LeMans ever won LeMons?

I think the new ME will take place during the First Contact War. It's a far more interesting period than than the anti-climactic post-Sheppard era, a time when Humans had just discovered the Prothean archives on Mars and were starting to expand out into the galaxy.

Like, ridiculously awesome? =P
