Immediate resignation, no apology (or even admission of wrongdoing) and no dashcam video to to exonerate the baited officer? Wonder what Paul Harvey would have to say about this story?

#1: "like dating a supermodel who picks her nose."

That the climate control works in .5ºC increments seems like a feature to me. The Celsius scale is great for science, but not for human comfort. There have been a lot of times when traveling to metric places where I turn up the thermostat 1ºC only to find that it is too warm. Turn it down 1º only to wish there was…

I am going out on a limb and guessing that story is embellished in some way. My grandfather has hunted moose (and squirrel) all his life and one rule they have is NEVER shoot a moose unless it's standing in water. They are far too large and heavy to haul around on land.

Doesn't look like a race as much as the greatest ski lift ever.

So, something about this article is fishy since the limo is a diesel. I am guessing they actually put gasoline in, which would probably require quite the operation to make sure it was all purged from the fuel system.

Hardly even a spark of recognition for this great man's practical application of PV=nRT?

Well, I was a mechanical engineer. Spent a few years in design at Ford and GM in the early 90's. It's not as easy to design a mass-produced automotive component last a defined number of cycles as you might be implying. Any component on a given vehicle is likely subjected to a wildly different use case than the one…

GET OFF MY LAWN!

Designed to fail? I love hearing that term.

Not a gramps yet, though my formative years were the early 70's. We have always had muscle cars and 60's Corvettes in the family, so I have a pretty good reference. The good old days sucked. I can't justify spending $100k+ on a toy at the moment, but am in awe at what has happened in the last decade or so after the…

It disgusts me what has happened to the automotive industry. How I pine for the good old days. Real 4-speed transmissions with real linkage operated clutches that you had to have real muscles to operate. Radio delete option. No standard A/C or power steering to weigh my car down. Those vinyl seats without all…

If nothing else, the driver has very good clutch, throttle and brake control. It just sucks that none of them possesses enough physics intuition.

That should be an interesting insurance mess. I have no idea how insurance works in the UK, but we have plenty of underinsured folks roaming the streets here in the US. It would be no fun having to make up the difference on that one.

Candygram for Mongo.

Maybe too young, but something tells me that he will definitely be having one that involves multiple high maintenance models.

"My, what a large shift knob you have"

Ghost of #3?

Uh, did you see the trap speed at 125? Low 12's in a stone stock 2WD car on street tires is pretty freaking fast no matter how you slice it. Seriously traction limited. Bolt some racing slicks on that thing and see it crack off mid to high 10's...as it starts spitting the weakest links out.

I noticed the dark oil right off the bat as well. Chances that it's trans fluid are kinda low since it's a C6 Corvette (trans is in the rear) and on top of that, it's a Z06, which means it has a manual. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the dry sump tank got ventilated and let the overused engine oil out.
