I did some further research, and it would appear that more appropriate legislation narrowly missed passage by the VA House of Delegates in 1992. The bill was HR4598.02 “Failure to refrain from driving like an asshole”.

Agreed, it’s a pretty lame term, and it totally sounds Virginia-ish. However, is it reasonable to do a massive rolling burnout in front of a cop while you hang the tail out and *not* expect some sort of citation?

Since you replied, I just looked it up - rather than rely on my own conjecture. Several criminal defense attorney sites have written that VA police officers do often use skidding tires (in any sense) as a reason for a reckless driving, but these lawyers go on to say that unless there is visible smoke or the car is…

That doesn’t sound like Virginia. I believe that breaking the wheels loose would be an automatic reckless driving in Virginia, and it’s a citation that police throughout the state seem to enjoy handing out quite liberally.

Woah, they blue the shit out of that weapons dump!

I like it! How about:

Have you considered a different tactic? How about a note like:

Does PlastiDip come in drab colors? This would be fantastic. Alternatively, you could spray “EYESORE” across the car in PlastiDip. :)

CivicX - it’s full-on X fast and X furious.

Across Manhattan you say? Did you happen to record how long the drive took?

Can we read the article before posting stuff like this?

Wow - what a frustrating experience. You pretty much nailed it, Doug. Treating customers like that makes no sense, especially for a $40k car. I wouldn’t agree to a credit check with a dealer until we were ready to negotiate financing. That is, if I’m actually interested in financing the car, and we wouldn’t be talking…

Interesting. I think that what’s important is that the performance category be in comparison to the car’s contemporary. So, if the F40 is a supercar, the LaFerrari can also be a supercar - even though the two are no longer comparable by performance comparison.

I’ll send a email. Not ready to sell yet, maybe late summer/early fall.

Come on.

Ok, what the hell does “Dare Greatly” mean? It sounds like mis-translated English (or “Engrish”). Perhaps this would be a more appropriate motto:

Given the full disclosure provided, I am 100% serious. The alternative for me is an under valued trade-in. I would love for this car to go to a good home. I haven’t figured out what a dealer would give me on a trade-in, but if you want to move forward, I’ll investigate the numbers on it and we’ll use that as a…

This looks like a really nice car.

Doug, you can buy my B7 Sprint Blue S4 Avant 6MT. A real unicorn.

The HP limit was mentioned during the several forum discussions following the loss of the instructor at Hyperfest. With a few exceptions (e.g. knife-edged racing cars), from a rules perspective I tend to disagree. Street cars all have similar safety protection for road course crashes (e.g. very little). From a…
