Only one of them can afford to foot the repairs out of pocket?

Every time I see that video, I get pissed at the jackass hauling the small trailer. It's obvious they don't have a clue, from the driving too slowly in the passing lane to not staying in the middle of said passing lane to not avoiding a rather large piece of debris. To top it all off, is the issue of the vertical…

Dammit, I came here to post that. Good job getting it out there quickly.

I scrolled all the way down to see if someone else picked that up before I mentioned it. The rear overhang screams 959 to me. Now, if only he had saved some money on that museum of a house and purchased a real 959, I would be impressed. I can afford one that size, but not life size.

I am sure the significant other just LOVES when he cold starts that beast inside during a dinner party.

At first, I was thinking the same thing. But, then I realized what is really going on there. The stereo is for just playing very low background music like he would be listening to in the car while driving, but only used on days when the car can't go outside for one of the following reasons: rain, snow, dust, bugs,…

I don't see where anyone has mentioned that the car had a green traffic signal. There isn't any good way to tell who was in the crosswalk in the preceding seconds, but it appears the Camry was just going through at the tail end of the green and was surprised at having some dumbass human step out in front of them. …

As a (pretty responsible) parent, these stories make me nauseous. I have never understood how this can happen. When we lived in south Florida, it seemed there was ALWAYS a story about someone leaving a kid in the car. Some doctor went to work and forgot he was supposed to be dropping his kid off at daycare and of…

I know, right? It's almost as bad as watching any big budget action film made in the last 10 years...Star Trek Into Darkness, included.

Indeed. I took my 12 year old son to PittRace to run the rental karts on the Wilson Circuit on Memorial Day after not having driven a kart for years. After four 10-minute sessions, I was ready to go home, but he was having fun and wanted to learn more. It was a very slow day, so we even ran some sessions…

Show me a 550+ hp/l engine that isn't peaky. I would love to see the dyno graph in rpms as opposed to wheel speed:

It's surprisingly easy when you are trying to drift a heavy car with skinnies up front. They are designed to turn corners slowly. The driver's job is to lift when there is too much tire spin.

In the view from the chase car, it's easy to see what happened. Rear tires are spinning, it starts to get out of shape and he doesn't lift until way too late. You can see the black mark from the left front tire where it left the ground, touched and then disappeared again. It's probably flat all right, but as a…

Ouch, you dodged a bullet in that Conquest. I had a black one for a while and was lucky enough to never get if off the pavement.

A race car and two street cars. The race car deal was a Mother's Day disaster in 1989 when I discovered that the shift cable was slightly mis-adjusted and pushing it into neutral in the traps resulted in engaging reverse for just a moment. At 145+ in a 91" wheelbase car, a moment is all it takes (that thing was the…

Just curious, do you know what caused the flat tires? It's not like there are roofing nails falling off work trucks.

You know, there is a life lesson hidden away in there. I have lived by "Never take a car (or bike) to the track that you can't afford to push off a cliff". In that same vein, if you have to spend your life savings to get a supercar, it might not be a sound financial decision in the first place...regardless of it's…

Ugh, that story from Pittsburgh is all too close. That family is close friends with close friends of ours and my kids played with those kids (my oldest and the surviving kid even share a first name). I think the only thing that has kept the mother together is that one kid survived...barely. The guy that was…

Ha, he sleep-drives better than some of the awake drivers on my commute this morning.

While I do agree that there are more daily driven SUVs and fullsize pickups on the road than are really necessary, if you saw my wife (Tahoe) and I (Sierra crew cab) leaving the house every morning headed for our professional jobs, you would surely say we fit into the exact demographic you are hating on so much.
