Anytime you have testosterone, motorized anything and likely alcohol involved you know good things will follow. I learn something new everyday....I've never seen or heard of skid-plate racing or the later mentioned Pig N Ford racing. Good stuff....more than all-American fun. I'm sure there are variations in other…

That blows! You'd think a large flatbed hauler would have had a winch but I'm guessing this was a DIY tow job. If the truck wouldn't run and lacking a winch on the trailer I would have called a professional towing company and let them deal with it (you know they'll have a winch on a flatbed). Even a tow truck with a…

Good stuff....the P1 is simply awesome. I would have preferred seeing Jensen wind it out on a proper road course but even on a narrow, country road the car sounds incredible. Maybe little kids in America think the Corvette is the fastest car in the world because it's probably the most common performance car they see…

A per day rental rate of $5,000 for a Rolls-Royce or $25,000 for a Veyron seems reasonable to me. Does that include insurance? lol Even if I had the disposable income to afford such excess it's hard for me to imagine being so wealthy that such sums are virtually meaningless. More power to whoever can afford to pay…

Seriously? I may drink coffee in a restaurant (with breakfast or dinner) but I don't drink coffee in a coffee house (I avoid places like Starbucks like the plague). In America, drivers including myself often drink coffee and other beverages while driving (many Americans have been known to actually eat in their cars as…

I'm an avid, amateur road racer running a modified Corvette C6. Most past generations of the Corvette didn't do anything for me but starting with the C6 I felt Corvette finally got their act together. Although the C7's exterior (with emphasis on the rear end) lacks the 'clean' lines of the C6, by all accounts the C7…

Adding insult to injury it doesn't look like the car ever got washed.

It's an abomination....even in Toontown.

Dividends are not the sole measure of a company's worth but dividends are important to many investors....especially retired shareholders who live off 'investment' income. I own shares in companies which don't pay dividends but for the most part I invest in companies with a consistent history of increasing dividends…

The weapon may not have been able to fire live ammunition but if other people thought the weapon was real (which it was) and firing live ammunition, chances are there are federal, state and municipal firearms violations that can be imposed. Irrespective, if the authorities want to charge him with an offense they have…

As mentioned, many cars loaded into an enclosed trailer are winched into the trailer. For those driving a car (with 'normal' windows) into a tight, enclosed trailer the driver climbs out the window. Some enclosed trailer have a 'concession stand' door on the side of the trailer which opens....allowing the driver's…

As an avid, amateur road racer I believe to drive any car well at-speed takes practice, practice, practice. There's no substitute for seat time. IMO the nannies are a great learning tool but they aren't a fail safe. It depends how aggressive the intervention is but generally, with experience you learn that using…

I fault both F1 and Pirelli....the degradation by design tires is a stupid idea. Even if they want races to be decided by 'tire strategy' having 4 left rear tires blowout on 4 different cars is a potentially deadly situation. Obviously something is seriously flawed with those tires. Frankly, not that Bernie and…

Good stuff!

Granted, the Corvette has a different feel than a P-car, a Mazda or whatever but you might be surprised with its all-around capabilities. I've raced a 2005 C6 for many years. What started as an essentially stock C6 evolved into a highly modified dedicated track car. The C6 was no slouch out of the box but to be…

I respect your opinion and you're not entirely wrong about the Corvette demographic. That said know that not all middle-aged Corvette owners are bald nor are their cars garage queens. I'm a middle-age owner of a highly modified 2005 C6. I'm an avid road racer and my car evolved into a dedicated track car years ago. …

The stars have certainly aligned for Vettel in his Formula 1 career. That said his talent as a driver is undeniable. All Formula 1 drivers are incredibly talented but I consider Vettel, Hamilton and Alonzo the cream of the crop. Each, however, has their 'quirks' or at least their moments (which is only human). …

Sweet! I'm not a huge Lamborghini fan but with that kind of power and weight the car should put-down some awesome lap times on a road course. Frankly, I'm glad to see there's 20 Lambo owners who'll risk their million dollar machines on a road course. Newer exotics aren't that common in the amateur racing…

That's sad.....my thoughts and prayers are with the deceased, his family and friends. I hope when safety and car recovery procedures are reviewed they learn and implement safer ways to remove stranded vehicles. Perhaps keeping the towed vehicle level and high enough it doesn't obstruct the tow vehicle operator's…

It should be obvious, always lock your doors....even in Jellystone Park. As this learned behavior is passed from bear to bear such intrusions will be more common. Yogi now knows there's an easier way than ripping-the door off its hinges. Can Boo-Boo joy-riding be far behind?
