Why on earth should you need an aftermarket tune and headers to make a performance car not bad?

Remember when Jalopnik was a fun, upbeat, enthusiast site where you came just to revel in cool car stuff?

The other part that’s not covered in that video is that this dude is spending immense amounts of time giving back to the automotive photography community.

Or on an old British car with a bunch of stickers all saying “Lucas” but in different fonts. 

So bye bye import tuner and pie, drove my Honda to the yonder ‘cuz the money ran dry...

The entire nascar scoring/championship system. And the race stages.

At my local track, noise limits. You can’t go above 100 decibels while racing. Lame.

I wonder what the pitch meeting in GM’s design committees’ offices were/are like. They have to be trolling everyone, right? It has to go something like this:
