Towing requires not so much power as chassis stiffness. Make no mistake, that 911 will never go straight again and I wouldn't be surprised about larger gaps between panels and even cracked welds.

Forget not that it was struck by a GTR at 110MPH, so the least newsworthy detail is that the BYD was an EV.

What can be better than a car engineered by Germans and styled by Italians? This is how things were meant to be.

Why don't they build banked curves anymore? As Mike Rowe said, "what if it's safety third?"

It's known that some plastics emit bisphenol, which is an estrogen-like organic compound, an endocrine disruptor that fools a male body into thinking that it's a woman's, emasculating it. Therefore if a dude is not a wuss when he buys a plasticky Saturn, he becomes one usually after 11 years.

Glad to learn about yet another good experience with the Extreme. After having tried Linksys, 3com, D-Link, Netgear, Belkin, etc, as well as the feature-rich but buggy Tomato and DDwrt, I hope to be able to bequeath the Extreme to my grandchildren.

Again, I could shift a MT without hearing the engine and working the feet mechanically, listening to loud music and talking to the passenger. How? By the seat of the pants: the time to shift is when acceleration flattens out. Not that I'd pay any attention, it was just unconscious muscle memory.

I went through routers almost every year. The last couple of ones were being chocked by too many connections open at the same time. I was considering a commercial router when, in my research, I came across the fact that Apple routers seem to be pretty resilient at this. Unwilling to spend $180 on a router just to…

And in performance applications, DCT are displacing MT.

I dispute that. As someone who's driven manual for a decade in a country where there were barely any cars with an AT, shifting a MT can be as automatic as muscle memory.

Side-pipes FTW!

20th: did that thought happen while you were in a coma?

Where I grew up, Brazil, both were quite rare. But diggin through my recollections, I'd say that the proportion between sightings of an SL and of an SLC to me was something like 2 or 3 to 1.

Indeed. The actual breakdown is 237,287 SL and 62,888 SLC. Yet not too shabby to average 6,000 units per year of a very expensive car. If you think about what it cost, you'll realize that it wasn't that rare.

I'd rather see this car drive into the twilight rather than totaled like this.

Obligatory SLC. It was perhaps the car that prompted many other manufacturers to try to beat its 300,000 production run over a decade.

Whose Saudi's Audi is understeering?

The Opel GT with the 1.1l I4, though it was quite competitive with the 1.9l I4.

The gorgeous Puma GT Malzoni wasn't helped by its DKW 2-stroke I3.
