I've driven a Z06 at the track and I have very few complaints - great car.

The only think that irked me was the crack about the Mustang's (and Viper's and American Cars' in general) level of engineering, which was completely unfair. The Mustang was engineered to meet a price point, sure, but that doesn't mean there was any less thought put into it, engineering-wise, than much more expensive…

The rise in douchiness here in Austin is well correlated with migration of rich assholes from out of state (especially California), so I'm not convinced it's truly a home grown phenomenon. Make of it what you will.

I drive a more expensive car than an M3, but I would never park it like this. If you can't stand the thought of someone scratching your baby, leave it in the garage and take the damn bus (or buy a cheap grocery getter to drive around in - if you can't afford that then you can't afford a scratch-free M3 either).…

How about the Rolls-Royce/Bentley L-Series V8. It's been in continuous development for 60 years.

What you're saying is that *driving* a car quickly is inefficient. That's true, but my point is that, particularly in the case of electric power trains, *engineering* a car that *can* be driven quickly does not make it inefficient. Many of the same design characteristics that make it fast contribute directly to its…

"it could have been much more efficient if it were slower"

Although, as long as you pay off your credit card bill every month and do not carry a balance, using credit cards is actually advantageous in several respects.

Kimi's car would always respond "Leave me alone. I know what I'm doing!"

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that, unlike typical internal combustion systems, the characteristics that give an electric car long range and high power (such as high battery storage capacity & motor power efficiency) are actually largely complimentary. So, you're not really "trading" much here, unless you…

Any of Paolo Soleri's Arcology proposals. Although full of interesting and clever architectural details, they all end up as an attempt to keep nature safe from humanity by packing people into dehumanizing beehives.

The person in the Fit was driving like an idiot, but...

Sounds like you'd be happy living in Somalia. You might actually find a use for your guns there - beyond endangering yourself, your family, and your neighbors that is.

Why do conservatives have to be so completely hyperbolic about this stuff, as if the British have been "stripped of their individual liberty." Governments can be tools to protect liberty just as easily as they can be tools to take it away, and a world dominated by wealthy corporate interests isn't exactly "free." Try…

The new transmission control software for the GTR, which debuted in the 2012 model, allows up to 4 consecutive launches before enforcing a cool-down drive, and using it *does not* void the warranty. Now, retrofitting it onto a pre-2012 model car with modified boost settings is another matter as far as the warranty is…

Clearly Bruce Wayne wanted his car back. He's kinda loaded.

Well, I'm very very happy with my Anthony Gallo Acoustics Reference 3.0s, which are the best speakers I've ever owned (I've owned quite a few pairs, including Bose, Energy & PSB) and are pretty much unbeatable for their size, but they're not exactly cheap. This question might have made more sense if there was a…

I couldn't find the camera angle I was looking for, but if you like crazy flybys it's hard to beat the Isle of Man.

Not to question your taste in home decor, but MY GOD THAT'S UGLY.
