Really? I drive a 'fun' car....a speedy, flashy colored, 2-door, highly modified Corvette C6 which is now a dedicated track car. I write good.

For me, sound is an integral part of the performance car experience. Amongst other qualities, Ferrari's are well known for their 'signature' sound. The yellow LaFerrari is a gorgeous looking and terrific sounding high performance car (albeit a bit subdued sounding for my tastes). I don't want loud and obnoxious....I…

What a needless and tragic situation. If I were threatened and terrorized by a gang of bikers I also would do everything possible to flee the danger and protect my wife and family (and some people still argue against citizens lawfully owning and carrying firearms for personal protection). From what I've read of that…

What's old is new again. I grew-up in Birmingham, Michigan (a suburb of Detroit) back when Detroit was the Motor City. Occasionally, the major car makers would unveil new models and/or prototypes in Shane Park. I still remember a full-body, brushed stainless steel Lincoln Continental on display. I didn't make it as…

"Will, I encourage you to read a book or a newspaper..." Times change....traditional (print) books and newspapers are rapidly becoming as obsolete as these now extinct auto plants.

The government seizure of General Motors wasn't to save GM, the US auto industry or to make a profit. The regime engineered the take-over of GM to save the unions (a prime Democrat constituency) whose existing labor contracts would have been 'broken' had GM gone through a traditional bankruptcy and reorganization. In…

I'm sure that kind of weight exceeds the manufacturer's recommended maximum. I can't imagine what he was thinking. At least the illicit cargo was well concealed.

Without question Ferrari's have a sweet, 'signature' sound.....awesome machines! That said I still prefer the snarl of the Corvette Racing C6.R's (or as someone on Jalopnik once said they're "The Gods of V8 thunder."

Unless you're the one....there's always something faster. If memory serves correctly, doesn't the Porsche 918 cost around 3x as much as the $315,000 McLaren? Not that price alone is always the gauge but if I spent that much on the P-car I would hope it's at least a little faster than the less expensive McClaren. All…

That's just F'n hokey. The sound quality of ones car (engine) is an integral part of the driving experience....especially with a performance car. BMW and other car makers are already 'augmenting' the experience by piping 'fake' engine sounds through the car's stereo system. It's a sad reflection on the (government…

Apparently I'm not as 'discerning' as many of the commenters who, no doubt, are more accustomed to their Bentley's and Rolls Royce's. The Escalade interior looks very nice to me.

I think the practice is hardly unique to General Motors. Know your enemy....I mean competition.

Agree with them or not, when it comes to the rules (and especially rules for safety) the FIA are 'sticklers' for compliance. You can't dispute having a car 'voluntarily' electing to stop in the middle of the track and a person running across the track (when the track was still 'active') created a safety hazard.…

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…
