Caparo T1 (minus the fiery death part).
I’d go with trying to dive-bomb the entire field by the first turn. Doesn’t happen to everyone, but a lot of people get the red mist at the drop of the green flag. Remember, boys and girls - you can't win a race on the first lap, but you can sure lose it.
I wholeheartedly agree about the lack of power being an issue. I had one for a year, but as much as I loved it - and I really did love it - it was excruciatingly slow. I live near a parkway with short on-ramps and it was a roll of the dice every time I had to merge. So I said, “f*ck it,” traded it in, and bought a ‘15…
Oh for crying out loud...
Really dig those biohazard wheels. Suh-weet!
I go to the NHRA events at Englishtown and Maple Grove every year, and they’re always awesome. A few years back, I took my wife to the Englishtown race and did my best to prepare her for the sheer violence of the nitro cars, but words cannot adequately describe the experience. When the first of the fuel cars launched,…
It’s funny seeing a Prius with conservative bumper stickers. I thought the Obama stickers were mandated equipment and came from the factory. But since this article puts Prius owners in a less-than-positive light and this is, after all, a Gawker site, of course they would show the one and only Prius with a McCain…
Correct. If you watch the video closely, it shows Marquez basically headbutting Rossi’s leg and Rossi responding with nudging him out of the way with his leg. Full disclosure, I’m a fan of both riders and am not giving either one more consideration over the other. But the video does show it pretty clearly.
You know how many friends he had? Nein!
The hottest wings I’ve ever eaten are at Candlelight Inn on Central Ave. in Scarsdale. The flavor (or heat level, if you will) is called “Chernobyl.” I can only eat a dozen or so before I throw in the towel. I’ve actually seen people cry after eating them. Being in NY, you gotta give them a try. Worth the war story…
A guy I work with has a lifted JK with huge tires. I don’t know how in the world he drives this thing on the highway. Even at 30mph, it wanders around like Gary Busey on a meth bender. It's fun with the top off, but boy is it a handful.
I’m 37, I have two little kids, and I daily-drive a ‘15 STI. However, I am also the General Sales Manager of a Ford dealership (we also do Subarus, too, hence the STI) and already have an RS on order ;-) Truthfully, I may just stick with my STI. If the RS comes and doesn't knock my socks clean off, I'll just sell it…
We’ve got to stop making viral celebrities of these people. Car chases, mass shootings... stop giving them the coverage they so desperately crave.
Sounds interesting, but I just can’t imagine Channing Tatum resembling Evel. Too bad Ed Harris isn’t 30 years younger. Even Woody Harrelson or Matthew McConaughey can pull off a resemblance. I don't know, I guess we'll just have to see what the makeup department can manage....
Make some tea and grab a bus schedule.
Is that screenshot from "Swordfish?"
Years ago, I helped a friend’s dad build a ‘50 Mercury (similar to the one Stallone had in “Cobra.”) I volunteered to help because he was a cool guy, he’d built hot rods before, and I wanted to learn hands-on what it takes to build a truly “custom car.” We did A LOT of fabricating and welding and the majority was done…
