Every time I hear about a street racing incident, it pisses me off. No one has any business pulling this kind of crap on public roads. And people who are willing to do this have no business driving — period.
In my opinion, the current penalties for street racing are much too light. Currently in California, of you…

Dear automobile manufacturers,
Please, please, PLEASE stop writing software. Stop designing it, too.
Instead, consider hiring professionals instead. You know, the ones that actually do this sort of thing for a living and actually think about security and, more importantly, know how to do it correctly.
WOW! Lots of butt-hurt replies.
“But-but-but...”
The fact is, unless you’re driving something with the weight of a flea, 89HP is nothing to brag about.
<yawn> HP/L is the last refuge of the low-powered engine.
What matters is what happens when you put your foot on the accelerator, and the last time I checked, the effect of that action was affected by horsepower and torque, not HP/L.
IF you want to actually brag about HP/L, perhaps you should actually MENTION HP/L. The…
They didn’t.
Bragging that a car has 89 horsepower is a bit lame, unless its a go-kart.
“You Won’t Believe How Much Shittier Cars Were 40 Years Ago.”
FTFY.
What’s sadder is when you actually PAY Mazda for a navigation system, only to discover that you bought the Mazda navigation system.
OK, the “you’re speeding now” indicator is interesting from a technical point of view (but honestly, you’re pretty much always speeding, so the feature is a bit redundant.)
No, the lame bit…
89 horsepower? Wow. My ‘95 Ranger had 112. :P
Shoot, I learned to drive in Dad’s ‘68 Ford F100with a “little” 390ci V8 and a 3-speed transmission. You could easily launch the truck off-idle without touching the accelerator — one of the reasons I was taught in that truck.
That, and it’s damned near indestructible.
Restraining order?!? Why the wasn’t he arrested for who knows how many counts of assault and battery?
ACK! My parents still drive the Town Car version of this barge and for some inexplicable reason, they love it. It’s falling apart. They spend hundreds every few months repairing it (when they can find the parts,) and I can’t talk them out of this rolling deathtrap.
TWS is my home track. I have thousands of laps there.
The oval is NOT sinking. The idea that it is may come from the fact that the STANDS along the front straight have been condemed due to problems with the the foundation in places.
The oval is not used for several reasons. Mainly, organizations that want to use it (the…
I’ll bet LeBlanc can drive and talk at the same time.
Was really hoping this was Martin Shkreli’s car.
Well a car guy didn’t do the animation. Or maybe an ignorant car guy did. Archer is steering the WRONG WAY as he pulls onto the pavement. He’s steering to the left when he should be counter-steering to the right. (In the clip with Tom Selleck, he’s counter-steering.)
Good for you. Have fun and take lots of pictures!
So you know Mr. Clarkson personally?
Come in, this is his schtick. It may also be genuine, but that’s irrelevant. This is how a public figure remains a public figure. unless you’re constantly on TV or radio, you occasionally have to do something to get people talking about you (and in this respect, his column worked…
What asshole put a PepBoys sunroof on that car?!?
He *does* have a face for radio.
