"So who wants a DeltaWing as their family car?"

I agree....an automatic option could only help Viper sales. Corvette finally offered an automatic option for the Z06 and IMO Viper would be wise to do the same. That said I can only hope the new Corvette automatic is an improvement over previous versions. Serious Corvette road racers avoid the automatic gearbox like…

You got that right!

What do you expect? They're talented drivers....not actors. I suppose it's a necessary evil but it's a shame the drivers have to whore themselves out to sponsors for a dollar. As for Kimi, I like the guy but I hope he's more animated when speaking in his native language. Some think it's cool but when the 'Iceman'…

I drove big 3/4 ton, 4WD Suburban's for decades and parking wasn't a problem. When backing into a parking space you utilize the trailer hitch as a battering-ram. You stop when you hit the car behind you. On a more serious note, some find late model Corvettes difficult to park. With a low front end it's easy to run up…

Not so....many firearms are used for target-shooting, trap or skeet. Combat shooting competitions are also popular where again, targets are used without killing or injuring anyone. Mounted cowboy shooting competitions also employ targets. Some firearms collectors never shoot weapons in their collection choosing to…

I don't know anyone....at least anyone who actually pays income taxes....who doesn't want to legally minimize their tax liability. With Hendrick and other people of substantial means I rather doubt their primary motivation for such a large donation is the tax write-off. Many wealthy people donate to causes they have a…

Although the motives of the radical greens go far beyond environmental issues, the so-called methane "problem" has been discussed before. The typical, initial 'solution' for the green statists is to impose a fart tax to be paid by farmers and ranchers for every head of cattle, for every pig, goat, sheep, chicken or…

"The world's most successful and well known automaker, Marussia..."; "...the Marussia F1 Team, which is Formula One's most storied and successful operation..." I fail to understand this choice of wording to describe Marussia for any purpose....very bizarre!

Considering Clarkson's typical anti-US sentiments I'm not surprised North Korea would approve of the show. That'll probably last until Jeremy critiques a North Korean made car. Let's hope North Korea 'invites' Jeremy there and holds him permanently.

There are legitimate reasons why some people opt for an automatic transmission in their high performance Corvette. That said....despite ongoing improvements by GM the Corvette automatic has traditionally lacked the precision and control afforded by the 6-speed manual transmission. As an avid Corvette C6 road racer…

In the face of Russian armored forces invading Crimea, the massive expansion of Chinese military power and increasing worldwide threats the obama regime plans to reduce our military forces to pre-World War II levels, including the planned phase-out of the still capable A-10 Warthog. It's a shame that irresponsible…

I was also going to say..."slightly" more expensive isn't exactly accurate with respect to the purchase price. They're way more expensive than conventional incandescent light bulbs. The main problems I have with the so-called energy efficient light bulbs are 1) the energy efficient bulbs I've tried produce a lousy…

I respect your opinion but I think it's petty and unpatriotic. Personally, I'll proudly support the USS George H.W. Bush and the US military. Whether you agree with his policies or not "Bush Senior" has a distinguished record of military and political service to his country.....his educational, military, business,…

I'm surprised anyone outside the UK would pay any attention to Jeremy Clarkson

Interesting piece but however strange certain aspects seem by today's standards it must be viewed in the context of the times. Maybe things aren't so different today....even in today's corporate cultures if an employee doesn't conform he or she will be ostracized. Controversies notwithstanding, Henry Ford was an…

Outstanding! This adds an exciting, artistic dimension to what would otherwise be a mundane activity. Good stuff!

You get what you pay for (or don't as the case may be). How we receive television programming is evolving to be sure....the options have increased dramatically and the future is exciting. If you want to cut the cable and accept the resulting 'sacrifices' that's fine....more power to you. My personal preference may…
