Congratulations to Danny Thompson on the piston powered, wheel driven land speed record. The wheel driven land speed record, in a turbine powered car isn’t much greater at 458.444 mph, set by the late Don Vesco. I wonder if Challenger 2 has eight more mph in it and if Thompson plans to go for the overall record?

It did yesterday, at nearly 300MPH. Make no mistake, he wasn't fully in it for both of these runs and the car has some left.

Should’ve let LBJ drive.

“Your Honor, We move to place into record a declaration that we have, in fact, un-fucked the cow we are currently accused of fucking. We still insist she is a lying heifer that is only seeking a payday.”

The only people who don’t tip with fives are high schoolers and Deadspin readers

I’ve never seen Stockholm Syndrome manifest in a car blog before.

Serious answer: Typical ship steering gear is hydraulic with at least 2 pumps and multiple sources of power and operation.

Oh, FINE. The chianti here sucks anyway..

Sir, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.

Huh. I feel like “me too - Acura” sums them up in so many ways.

Pour one out for Sean.

It really is a great meme

From a different angle:

Has anyone actually asked a “grid girl” or a group of “grid girls” how they feel?

Apparently, the truck was stuck on the tracks when the NS 975 Safety Train came barreling into the side of it.

A President of FDR’s caliber deserves this.

It does in 2018, haven’t you heard?

“I’m sorry, sir, but your ticket clearly says you can only be two of those things at any one time. We’re going to have to ask you to leave.”
