Aww come on! According to Call of Duty, you're supposed to hit the ramp at full throttle.

Man, the guy in the GTR must have been so happy that he didn't turn off his Asshattery Active Assist. It would have surely gone into the wall without it.

This isn't so much as a build quality test as it is "Let's See What it Takes to Kill a W124." The other 3 parts are on The You Tube.

When people talk about German build quality, this is what they're talking about.

Forgery aside, I absolutely ADORE the idea that the kid is the only one to smile at the car. It's so quick you might miss it. Everyone else looks like they are witnessing some sort of depraved sexual act.

No, find a more arid dessert. Something that more resembles a dry lake bed. Snickerdoodle?

If I bought one I would probably have to replace the tires around the same interval as the motor oil.

When I heard that, I started to wonder if they just wanted an "oem track tire" so that they could log a great time at the next track day show down. I recall one last year where that fancy track-ready Camaro whooped cars 3 times the price because it was shod in racing compound out of the box.

BRAKE DUCTS???!!! The real question is what is the likelihood of me fitting this bumper cover (and its ducts) on my ST?!

No hood vents? PASS!

It seems to me that it would be a real struggle to decide how hard you want to push the car in its first race. If memory serves, the 6s were both DNF'd last year before I finished my Start of Race Nachos. Given that, is the team placing a high priority on a finish? What's the team's goal for the race?

What will it take for Mazda to actually sell a diesel car in the US?

The book was horrible. The wandering around in the shallow end description works nicely for the book too. I've made it through some real stinkers in my lifetime. But, I put this one down around point where he was starting the sniper school after getting out of the Navy.

+1 from another Society memeber! You get a few nice perks there this weekend during the open house.

WOAH! Best news I've heard all year! The amount of bandwidth I chew through downloading recordings of Motors TV could put a small nation on the interweb.

It's the most popular museum in the world. But, Udvar Hazy puts it to shame.

I went to the open house last year at Udvar Hazy and it was fantastic. You'll be amazed at the number of hours that go into these restorations. I spoke to one of the techs about how he fabbed a piece of bent tube steel. If memory serves he spent 80+ hours getting the bend just right. Easily, my favorite museum of all…

My good friend and neighbor just leased a Impreza for his 25 year old son. Said son has had beaters all of his driving career (think, never been able to take a road trip). He's had more headgaskets replaced than he's had girlfriends. He took a telemarketing job 20 miles from his apartment and needs reliable…

You probably don't want to hear about the $250k gear boxes...
