I had to scroll back up just to make sure you weren't referring to...oh, yes, there it is...the 4th gear picture. Not sure what that would make anyone nostalgic for.

I am with you on this one. Never cared, (hopefully) never will.

Jeebus, even with the grainy images, I count no less than 11 humans in the foreground. I have to assume this is from 'the scene' since that gal in front of the taxi certainly knows something bad is going on. All those witnesses and nobody can at identify it from less than 30 feet away? No plate number? Even if

It's amazing technology that can help find a stolen car right away. I mean, what other tool would law enforcement need when a car is towed around LA with it's plate intact? They found this one before the owner even knew it went missing:

Surely just a side-effect of the shot angle, wheel angle and possibly the pavement. The wheel gap looks perfect in all other shots. The whole car looks pretty perfect to me, and I am not even really a Porsche guy.

I am going to go out on a limb here and assume wax is somehow involved?

Automatically re-locking the doors after I have unlocked them sure seems like trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. It might seem like a fringe use case, but there are a LOT of times when I go out to the driveway, unlock the vehicle (Tahoe), open up the tailgate and load up a bunch of stuff without ever

Just a small clarifaction, please. The car was fully locked, you unlocked with the key/FOB, opened the hatch, put stuff including your key/FOB in, closed the hatch and the entire car re-locked itself automatically?

I am confused. Was there no remote FOB? Back in the good old days, before there were remote door lock FOBs, I wasn't very good about pulling the keys out when I left a car (grew up at a used car dealership) and routinely locked my keys in my cars. My failsafe was some kind of break-in tool stashed outside of the

What I don't get is the apparent lack of self-preservation instinct. So much intersection camera footage of people just blasting in thinking "What are the chances that one other of the 1.3 billion people in this country will be trying to go through this intersection at the same time as me? Probably about zero.

You nailed it. I searched for other videos of that car and that is definitely it. Thanks.

No kidding. Any clue what rolled past at around 29 seconds right in front of that Corvette? A prototype that sounds suspiciously like an F1 car.

Sorry to hear about your battle scar, but glad to hear that it wasn't more serious. It's important to keep in mind that people have died from hockey pucks and baseballs. EVERYONE is lucky that body landed where there were virtually no people at all. If it had landed directly on the seated area, there would have

The adults just thought we were coughing from the dust. It was hot, dusty, windy, we could interact with the car directly behind us as we died a little bit at a time. What's not to like?

Did you also love riding in the rear-facing seat with the rear window down? Good times.

Ha, I just wrote that I do this in another comment. Good eye.

This. There have been a number of times I have seen a pair of tractor-trailers team up side by side and let a big gap open up in front of them. Sometimes, this is all it takes to jump start the flow of traffic since there is no reason for anyone to be hitting their brakes...hence, no accordion effect. Sadly, the

My kids (now 12 and 8) both pretty much have the same reaction, though much more coherent, through all of my 'training exercises'. Burnouts, rev-limiter launches, full-throttle shifts and donuts (4WD in the snow so they don't get concussions or break the side glass with their helmets). Pretty sure they are both

Thanks for posting those photos. Looks like a fun day.
