Let's see, someone else's project with someone else's problems for over twice the going rate of a stock Z06 or a new C7...Rob Ford levels of Crackpipe

People who compare automotive manufacture quality to aircraft manufacture quality have no experience in either.

I assume with all ring times that every company did every dirty trick possible to get the best time possible. By assuming that, you put them all on even terms. I want companies to be clever and creative and deceptive, it shows that they really care about appealing to enthusiasts. If I want to replicate the time, I'll…

You weren't missing much with the S7, that car was kind of a piece of shit. Most of the twin-turbo ones dynoed at way less than 750 HP, and the one we had (which I actually think was the one you used for the photograph), was sort of like a Ford GT, only way worse. I pulled off the entire center console by accident…

Something else I would like to add to egoods' list, "emissions, safety, weight, and reliability." Insurance companies were cracking down on the power wars. Teens just out of high school (who had worked during their summers and saved) were able to purchase cars with 400+ cubic inch engines. Engines that, from 1961 -…

My Entity XF can't do any of that.

I tried to tell the difference in the engine note when I was in tour, sport, and track, and I couldn't really pick up on any changes. It must be really subtle. Or maybe I'm going deaf? Or perhaps I'm going blind? Maybe I'm out of my mind?

Onboard:

What a difference a story makes when you have ALL of the facts. Seems to me there's a lesson to be learned in here somewhere.

Yeah that RC plane rescue vid was seriously cool. Reposting here so others can check it out. I fly a T-28 model airplane that is very similar to the one rescued. Big trees are the enemy. I would seriously shit if a helicopter swooped in and rescued it like that.

I consider myself to be very mechanically inclined - and I think this is why I like cars so much. A car is a large system - like other large, mechanical systems it requires many components to work in harmony with one another.

The owner emailed me about this too. He didn't have the plate number on hand, but said the VIN is ZFFAA02AXA0031377. It has a collector vehicle tag of some sort, HRE 505 wheels and a loud exhaust.

Is it OK to say that I love this ad?

Not taking away from what Audi has done. I just think 7 wins for such a small automaker like Jag is just cool.

Racing drivers to me are like family. I may know them personally, raced with them, or even never heard of them before, and everytime I hear of the racing community losing a driver, My heart gets heavy, and I become very down. The fact that it's been so long since the last death during the race, and the first time in a…
