Thanks to the flying GT-R thread last week, all you need to know is: keep hitting 4

Seems like good time to wonder out lout about this old clip of Dave's rant. I can't remember the first time I saw it, but it was many years ago and I thought it was brilliant at the time. Ever since then, I have always figured it was something someone put together since there is no way the network would ever…

The version I heard from some old guy many decades ago was "Never take a car to the track that you can't afford to push off a cliff". I still live by that and think it might need some kind of amendment to the effect of "...make sure you can also afford to replace any cars you hit"

Wonder how much sympathy he got from the cops considering that the light had turned red just a moment before he hit the car. Looked like he was gassing it trying to beat the light and wasn't paying attention to the fact that there were multiple cars trying to clear out. Sometimes, situational awareness is a habit…

Makes more sense. I will be sure to look for a disable button if I ever upload any videos. It's quite sickening.

What is up with that camera mount? It allows the camera to yaw, tilt and not bounce?

Bingo. Journalism is still dead.

I thought 'how ironic is it that two people with a relatively rare name, one as a first, one as a last, would be in the news together?' and then I spent like 8 seconds on Facebook learning that journalism is still dead. Shawn Abbey is the real name. Still not a bad coincidence.

I blame the quick oil change places for not checking the blinker fluid on these peoples' cars.

Good ones. I think the US version of this is the left signal that I have seen truckers using for as long as I can remember. This is what I do after dark (or when hauling something). If the other driver can see into my cabin, I always give a friendly wave.

Good fuel economy comes from a low Cd, which comes by disturbing as little air as possible. That is in direct contrast to what happens to the air when some downforce is required.

I have never really understood the 'Aussie burnout', but I do appreciate that their pushrod engines can run float the valves that long without spilling their guts all over the place. Never get tired of listening to a V8 over 7000 rpms.

Hmm

How is is possible to have a story like this without footage from the dashcam of the both the vehicle she stole and the one that TVI'd her out. And when did PIT become TVI?

Damn straight. I gave in to temptation once and started the old '64 Corvette for some friends when I was about 14. Didn't dare even move it out of the garage even though one of them wanted to go for a ride around the block. Wasn't aware of the ACC position when I turned it off and it ran the battery dead. My dad…

That is awesome how the lights stayed on long after the interior wiring and switch had been consumed by fire. Quite the opposite of old Lucas systems that only work when the magic smoke is carefully contained.

Looks more like airbag damage than a human ejection attempt.

I always figured they were more like apostrophe's

MY EYEEEEESSSS! Please God, tell me that is a photoshop.
