Dat badge.... just got watered down. It's still not down in Shelby territory though.

Caterham would actually be a good buy. It solves the immediate personnel issues and it gives them time to work on attracting some top notch talent. There is no such thing as starting a new team, building a new car and jumping on the podium. Best bet is to start at the back and work forward. Now, who can get me one of…

Dem wheels! BBS RKs?

[secretly owns an 09 TDI]

Better yet, the TDI guys from the pre-2009 model years. Everyone of those dudes has a notebook in their glove box with every fill-up and MPGs for each tank. Ask them about all their mods. And then be like, "I can't believe it only cost you 2-grand to get it up to 103 hp." They'll probably love you so much that they'll…

He's bitching about being on the tarmac for an hour in first class? On my last flight in coach, blankets were $8. Suck it up, man.

Your 4x4 probably handles better than most of the golf carts being sold as electric cars. Just because you have figured out how to fit one in your lifestyle doesn't make it a proper car.

I still contend that the vast majority of those V6s were sold as rentals. Having the EcoBeast only $500 more than a trimmed V6 is going to kill the V6 with retail buyers. Lighter, quicker, better fuel economy — SOLD!

For the record, Gyrokhana is not one of my loves. I think Block should jump an actual shark in the next one. God knows, he jumped the figurative shark long ago!

I think the V6 is really just being made for the rental car fleets. I doubt you will see many on the lots.

What other reason is their for a racing serious to take someone seriously but for the Championship? It can't be for his fashion sense given that clown suit he wears. Kimi probably took him seriously because he was the only other one rocking the flat brimmed hat.

It's called a Focus.

If you have ever had a diesel car during a natural disaster, you know the joy of driving by miles of cars waiting in gas lines and pulling up to the deserted diesel pump. For that alone, I will also have at least one diesel car. I'm seriously thinking about getting a diesel generator to replace my gasser.

In answer to your question no, no one in WRC takes him seriously.

Looks like he got a little hot headed after losing the lead in the prior corner. As my favorite simulator tells me... "Don't think about the position you lost. Think about how you are going to get it back!" That curb is MASSIVE. The nut behind the wheel was at fault — no the kerb!

WTF is up with the trailer hitch? Clearly, the lower bumper cover was removed in order to provide access to the hitch.

Woah, a wing on a wing? That's a first for me. The downforce must be incredible!

+1 I was planning on nominating one of these time bombs. My buddy swears that motor started as a gasser and was "converted" to diesel. He burned through two motors in like 3 years.

I see the attraction on a track or controlled environment. But, every rider I know has at least one story about being hit. I can't rationalize the risk given that you're really just riding around in traffic. If I'm at a track and I decide to take the bike to the limits — that risk is on me. But, to just be plowed into…

"inevitable motorist did hit me?" Remind me again why anyone rides a motorcycle on open roads.
