Certainly, it was moronic...but I'm curious, do you believe that it was really criminal (not civil, like regular speeding or running a red light)?

From the article:

Honestly, the laws do work as a deterrent for me, and I live here. I go out of my way to keep my speeds below the reckless threshold while in VA, which is either 20 over the limit or 80 MPH. That being said, I don't agree with the laws. We have 70 MPH roads in VA, and 10 over means a criminal record. 10 MPH over…

I think that he was getting off on the GW Parkway and wouldn't have made it to the MD line unless he knew the cop was coming after him and intended to evade (and would have likely faced serious time if trying to evade). If I recall reading the citation, he was stopped on the entrance to the GW Parkway, just before…

If you are a resident of Virginia and want change - please, write your state senator and delegate. I did, and have been engaged in a dialog with Senator Peterson's chief of staff for the past few months. It would be awesome if I didn't feel like I was the only one.

The punishment seems quite excessive...and Werth presumably had excellent legal representation, as well as all kinds of white privilege. I don't condone doing 105 MPH in a 55, but I also think that this underscores that criminalizing speeding in this way just doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense to send someone…

I admire the ability of the guy with the camera to keep his cool and not escalate the situation (irrespective of who was right and who was wrong).

As an addition to my previous response:

From your post, I can infer that you are obviously a highly refined poster with a fine grasp on humor, sarcasm, and recurring jokes.

Oh, man. This one time, Toyota gave me a Prius press car. I immediately felt compelled to smugly chew out a family parked in their diesel truck, idling next to me. They got the whole thing on video and put it up on YouTube. I'm so embarrassed. ;)

Honestly, I'd probably chicken out and not want to be seen in a Ferrari. They're more ostentatious than I prefer. However, if I did end up with an old Ferrari, I'd try to get one in something other than red...blue, if possible.

So what you're saying is that Gawker Media doesn't have your back. Very interesting. if they do have your back...it appears that there are about a thousand other posters who want to see Rod's angry email. I mean, you've already called him an asshat enough times. Why not go the distance?

My personal favorite, however, was a buyer in Maryland who told me he was "very interested" in my car. We spoke on the phone for several minutes, and he was asking all the right questions – but then he dropped the bomb: his brother purchased a 2002 360 Modena earlier this year, and he didn't want to pay a penny more…

As for Rod: once it became clear I wouldn't be selling the car to him, he sent me a 500-word e-mail tantrum written in YouTube commenter format (defined as: a big block of text littered with exclamation points) about how horrible I am, and how much my car is really worth. I feel sorry for Rod, and I truly hope he ends…

Rain or no rain, mark it zero.

I can't really provide anything that can hang with the plush velour blue vulgarity that the fine people of Jalopnik have shared here. However, I can provide a lesser modern entry, a 2012 Porsche 997 with a Marine Blue interior.

I can't speak to Nurburgring times. However, I can say that on my local tracks, within the PCA instructor's group Cayman R's and 981cS's can hang with a 996 and 997 GT3 (respectively). Granted, none of these people are Walter Röhrl (or any other factory driver). (Also, a track prepared Cayman S can be set up to be…

You're probably right about the interiors. People love to hate the 996 for whatever reason that they can, which is exactly why they're such a great value (again, they're totally better cars than everything that came before them). Further, you're right about the ridiculous praise that the 993 gets...it really does…
