That's not a jet ski. Jet skis don't have outboard motors like that. Probably more like a spare rowboat with engine that someone had...

Or you could get a Gibbs Quadski (i prefer Aquad) all-terrain vehicle... Drive it like a normal quad on land, and if you happen to come across a gigantic body of water, no worries, just hit the switch, wheels come in, and viola, you've got a jetski!

It's Chris Rado's Time Attack Scion tC. Was a reward car in one of the NFS Shift games, or at least the third version was.

I know, but there's no other car as small as the Smart here, all my friends have these big honkin' SUVs in CITIES and i'm just here like, driving a Prius or RX-8...

Really small engines are better on fuel. COme to think of it, how's the 40mpg mandate going since it started a few years ago? Seems like the number of new, more fuel-efficient gas cars has stalled since the mandate started. I remember when the Chevy Cruze was released here was about the time the mandate came about for

And/or someone to repeal the 25-year importation law...

I can fit in it, i'm 5'5" lol. In other words, I'm Japanese-sized.

Didn't smart have a cabrio version of its fortwo here in the US? So why can't this happen? The smart may not have been a kei-type car, but it's still SMALL... The S660 could be that car that American urbanites could possibly look into as an alternative to other small city cars available here.

So, Honda, yes there is

Not much you can do about that. People risk their lives for the stupidest reasons sometimes, and this is one of those instances where people were sat in a supposedly safe place but the car somehow somersaulted over the catch fence and landed right next to them or ON them.

If I saw that car coming at us like that, I

UPDATE: From the added video, looks like that the car did a Mark Webber taking off from the Flugplatz. Holy crap.

Obviously, from the update and the mention of chairs in a restricted section of the spectator area, people decided to risk their lives just to be five feet closer to the action. Always heed the safety

Hope not. F1 is in Malaysia, which is similar to Japan in that it's almost always rainy there. We know what happened to Jules Bianchi in Japan. #JB17.

Maybe it's just me, but #1 doesn't really count as a pass, does it? He has too much speed going into the corner after the pass and nails the disabled car in the corner, and the video stops after that, but it looks to me like the passer came to a stop after the collision.

My father has owned many fun cars over the years and never once bought a "family mobile" just because he was married or had kids. The wife gets the family mobile.

It's Paul's money, right? He should be able to do whatever he wants with his own money. No sense in having TWO "family mobiles" in the household.

I went here once, when I heard it was called Magnetic Hill, I expected to hear an audible humming or strange lights in the sky... that didn't happen, but it was a cool, but short-lived, experience.

I will probably (unlikely) have a hard time telling Nissan's LMP1 from Porsche's red LMP1... unless Nissan's livery was not a final version...

and chips and cola!

Tommy, like I said, if you exclude regional and support series stats, Danica is the only one who's won a race. Granted, fuel strategy wins are still wins in my book. But compared over their entire careers, yes, de Silvestro and Legge have more wins than Danica. As for Carmen Jorda, I never mentioned her. The poster I

I would have thought you would see the scanning mechanism or something...

Still far fewer than the number of people Jack Bauer killed during the entire 24 TV series.

I'm saddened by this whole thing. We were such fans of the show, that when we get a new kitten, we decided to name him Stig, and in the days following, I made up Stig facts in much the same way Clarkson did: "Some say he has the eyes of a cat.... and that he speaks... by meowing."

I absolutely loved the ambulance
