Looking at this... this may be the first new car purchase I make in my life. Twin turbo V6!?! 420 factory HP!?! I'm sure mods/tuning will be well developed by the time my factory warranty runs out and I can really crack it open (if I even wait that long). Just from the teasers I want to place a down payment... I WANT…

I'm with you, everyone needs to put themselves in his shoes. He was out on an exhausting training exercise with his k-9, and he was out of his jurisdiction. From what I gather he was being taunted (I'd like to see/hear the dash-cam footage, so we get both sides of what happened beginning to end). Was it wrong?…

I was going to do a full write up on road tripping to and camping at races, since I think I've got the system down pat after a few years of trial and error. I may still do that write up, but here's a few things road-trip specific that make it easier/more fun.

Agreed, when I restored my 69 Camaro I went in to it with the full understanding that if I ever do try and sell it I'll be lucky to get 50% of even just the parts value, let alone my thousands of man hours. For me it actually works as motivation to never sell it, when times get tough it honestly never even crosses my…

f.lux, total eye saver, now when I use a computer without it my eyes start to physically hurt, I love it (and don't even notice I have it 90% of the time). It exists on Windows as well if I'm not mistaken.

Wizmouse, exactly what I've been looking for. It has been years since I've used a Windows machine and I recently built a gaming tower (don't care what you say games on Mac blow), I've been having the aggravating scroll "issue" for a while now, that fixed it, and I'm now happy. On the subject, any suggestions for…

I've found that it's generally best to avoid lingo as much as possible. I use 2 terms generally, Bear and if I want to make sure my radio is dxing properly I call for a Radio Check. Also not mentioned in the article, it's acceptable to address another broadcaster as either "driver" or there handle if they have one…

Abraham Linksys, it was my brother's, it's my favorite.

I know in some endurance races (the Baja 1000 come to mind) the racers have catheters put in so they can take care of there business. I'd imagine in the Rolex 24 they do the same thing Nascar drivers do, wear a diaper... I'm not kidding, a friend was telling me that during one race (I don't recall the race), Tony…

Aside from the fact that your last line "The receiver is just there to get the signal out to them." makes my head hurt. I will agree that the Denon 1913 is a great receiver for the money. But seriously, a receiver/amp has as much to do with sound quality as the speaker, it's pairing them up correctly that makes the…

Having visited the Conner Assembly plant, this brings back some good memories. And to those that have asked, yes they dyno every single car (I've met the guy that does it, he said he never gets sick of it). I could probably set up some sort of tour for Jalops next time I'm in Detroit (I have family higher up at…

The straight at the start/finish line or the back straight opposite the paddock? I've definitely partied by the start/finish line on some scaffolding in the past, we got pretty rowdy if I remember correctly (I had been drinking all day so honestly my memory is pretty fuzzy).

The first time I went to Sebring (2010) my head damn near exploded. I was partying with redneck... but these were special rednecks, they're was of course the ridiculous lifted trucks, but as I walked through my camp (outside turn 6, represent!) I noticed something, there's a LOT of really nice, expensive cars. A GTR…

This might sound terribly ignorant, but wouldn't larger diameter tires like that in effect give him really tall gearing? Also I can't imagine those rubber bands do much for traction. While donks aren't for me, I understand this, I get why people like them. Just like I would never own a modern Lambo, I like my cars…

You'll never see me trying to put out a car on fire, there's too many flammable liquids mixed with pressurized systems and other nasty stuff to contend with. I was driving a friends car once and thick black smoke started to pour from the hood I pulled over (didn't open the hood, figured the last thing I needed to do…

That's Hammond... I'm sorry to have to do this but I need your Jalop membership card and the keys to whatever project car you are currently working on.

So my question is, will Sebring still be an FIA recognized race? Meaning in 2014 will we still see Audi and the other International teams that usually only come over for Sebring (and formerly Petit Le Mans)?

Ah, I gottcha.

Having torn drywall out, it'll come down in so many pieces that they'll never be able to tell what the image was supposed to be. Sorry to burst your bubble.

As someone who used to work in the auto industry, comments like these were known to be often said by ignorant people. They're not lying about your car actually, it's just a dumb thing to say, yeah your car had control arms, struts, springs, and a sway bar, so does about every other car on the road (of a recent…
