That video is vaguely familiar for some reason but no matter....it's spectacular (like being shot out of a cannon)! What's more amazing is nobody was seriously injured. Thanks for sharing!

If you see these cars everywhere maybe they're not so unpopular?
I'm not so sure he's constantly, purposely 'sawing' the steering wheel to test traction. I'm an avid, amateur road racer. I don't run in the wet too often where I live but occasionally I do. For me, I test wet track conditions/traction levels during practice or warm-up laps (prior to running hot laps) by purposely…
For most people, the need to have an automobile for personal transportation is not going to disappear....it's a virtual necessity for most of us. For the elderly and/or infirm the autonomous, self-driving car could be a Godsend. For those still physically and mentally capable to drive, I can only envision the…
It sounds like wealth envy and jealousy rearing its head. I don't begrudge Jay Leno or anyone their money and success. It must be nice to be able to indulge your every car fantasy. More power to him!
Dr. Evil's secret volcano lair.....good call Johnson!
Cadillac is building some very impressive vehicles. That being said I'm not in favor of smaller displacement, forced induction engines to the total exclusion of larger displacement, naturally aspirated power plants. If sufficient consumer demand exists for larger, naturally aspirated engines they should be an…
Self-driving cars, steering, acceleration and braking input excepted....with computers and a multi-functional display you could probably get the number of 'gauges and controls' down to one (if not zero). Computers can monitor virtually all vital functions and could be programmed to deal with any contingency. …
A fun event to be sure but the American icon Corvette should have been represented with the C6 ZR1. It would have placed respectfully well.....and more so if bang for the buck was a factor.
Car salesman ranked below congressmen? I would have thought that a dead heat?
Like with any car I'll reserve final judgment until I see and drive it but offhand (based on what I see here), I like it. Sure, I probably could nitpick a couple things but the overall look and 'feel' appeals to me....it has clean, elegant lines coupled with a 'sporty' stance. With a 500hp twin-turbo V8 and likely a…
Sadly, that's exactly what our own government does....besides simply wanting and seizing ever more of our hard-earned money to further government expansion and control, they use increased taxation as a way to needlessly hurt and punish Americans to obtain the desired behavior or effects they deem best for us. Consider…
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.
