I’ve always enjoyed looking at cutaways of vehicles and engines, yet never thought to try to make my own. For some reason reading about how long it took made me realize that yes, someone does have to make them. Now I want to get my hands on a small engine and make one.

(Could I be ungreyed here?)

What: 09 Husqvarna 510 SMR (#44 below, this was my buddy and I at a practice before the first race this season, sadly not our trailer)

Similar thing happened to me while riding. I was stopped at the back of a line of traffic at a light (of course because we are not allowed to split lanes) and the taxi in front of me decided to throw it in reverse and go for it (in traffic, not at the front of the line, wtf?). I was riding in the left position of the…

Since I’m Canadian, and therefore blessed with a 15 year import rule (still ridiculous) rather than 25, I’ve been wanting an R32 for a long time. What I am really waiting to see is an R34 on the roads here, now that they are legal too. I’ve seen a few online for sale but haven’t actually seen anyone driving one yet!

VW did this also, at least in Canada, selling the gen. 4 Golf (and maybe Jetta?) as the Golf/Jetta City while the 5th gen. was being sold as the new one. I think you could still get them for something like 4 years after they were no longer the “regular” models.

I really dislike the small actual exhaust inside/behind the big fake chrome tip in the bumper setup. Why is that so common now, and who started it. The first “performance” type car I can remember with those is the Lexus IS F.

Somewhat bothered by the fact that they did not arrange the ramp valves so that the sequence was in numerical order, like they did with the stabilizer valves.

I saw one of these driving around in Oshawa two weeks ago, in white. Because, to be honest, I don’t really care to keep up with news on the Camaro, I thought they were already released so I didn’t bother taking a picture. Guess I should have, although I was also driving and we all know nobody should be using their…

I did a BMW M event at the Ring where we got to drive some laps in the M4, following one of the suspension development guys from M. At the end of the day, he took us out for a proper lap in the F10 M5 Ring Taxi. I could barely believe the pace, but considering his day job involved lapping the Ring and making sure the…

FP1 that weekend was really interesting! COTA in the wet, the new GP15 and Suzuki bikes in the wet, dog(e), and so on.

I agree.

The AMG boat and its matching SLS are (or were as of last week) hanging out at the new M-B dealer where I’m living in Germany.

And yet, being a part of the VW group, Porsche is one of the only current super/ultra/hyper/whatever-car makers that could actually run on Ehra-Lessien.

They really should bring the cool stuff to the North American market (us Canadians mostly just get what the states get sadly...). I've been living in Germany for nearly a year now. Some of my friends here speak jealously of pickup trucks and whatnot, and I remind them that things like that are just normal family…

Looks like they seriously reworked the positioning of the rear wheel speed sensor. The little guard they made after the Marquez on Pedrosa event was obviously only a band-aid.

I used to have a KTM 690 that I regret selling, now I will have to somehow save up for both of these to make up for my previous loss...

To be honest, the early iDrive in the 5 series (E60 gen) is annoying, we have one in the family. Considering that the earlier E92 M3s look to have the same generation system as was in the E60 (just speculating, I have not driven an E9x car), I would rather not have it at all.

It was in the low sixty thousand range, I think around 62k in US dollars.

That's what I'm talking about! Right now I can only afford to hit the track with motorcycles. Well, when I'm at home in Canada I mean. Here in Germany I've been lucky and put in some laps on the Nürburgring already (even 4 in the new M4), but it costs a lot to rent cars for that!
