BMW Asshat? More like BMW BadAsshat. Did you see how he was weaving in and out of traffic like a race car driver? Badass bro!
Become? Shit, we’re Russia in all but name.
Here’s the money shot:
Well now we know what’s going on. Either the cyclist or his son have a beef with these guys. They are using civil forfeiture to get back at them. You should publish the cyclist’s name.

How are collective trade agreements antithetical to democracy or the free market?
Brexit is an absolutely horrendous idea for everyone involved. It’s an ethno-nationalist pipe dream built around fears of scary brown people(TM), and if it happens, it will likely spell a new dark age of right-wing lunacy across the globe.

The Jalopnik crew really is shockingly terrible live.
What’s with this Facebook video crap? Can’t you just use YouTube like the rest of the civilized world?
Sorry guys, I want to READ your thoughts on cars silently at my desk, not listen to them in some shitty video clip.
In trivia news, the Emma Maersk had the world’s biggest two stroke engine when she was built. An inline 14 producing 109,000 odd hp and weighing 2,300 tonnes.
They’ll be back, and (with their supporters) in greater numbers.
You can go on and keep defending the guy, in a dragster, who went full bore with his front wheels turned. I’ll pass on the debate.
