I can haz just about az much intellektual merit?

Shouldn't the title read, 'Why Not To Put A Rally Course Near A Telephone Pole'?

I don't want to live in a world where yelling into a microphone and a giant inflatable King Kong can't save an industry.

There seems to be a rash of these types of incidents this past two years. Kimi was released in Brazil last year, and it caused a fire. Rossberg was sent out without his tire being fastened correctly and it shot down the pit lane, until being 'caught' and bruising the catcher's ribs. And now we have this.

@Maxichamp: Yeah, I watched the race too, and 72Riv is right, the lollipop man should never release a car unless it is 100% safe. Yamamoto isn't in the running for points, there was no reason for him to lift the stick while the technician was over the car like he was.

I can haz rear wheel drive?

If there's anything I know from watching TLC, it's that human beings are made to have litters, and people with too much time are willing to pay too much money to buy anything that's even remotely 'custom' or 'American'.

...But Guy Fawkes wanted to commit an act of terrorism against a representative body. How his an American-Graffiti-esque prank like that?

@luisthebeast: +1, My friend won't shut up about his new Halo: Reach xbox.

@pj134: That's what I was thinking; have something like this that's supposed to go off-road and the only roll cage is 1/4" German sheet metal and whatever you're wearing on your head.

@Matt White: Yeah, an ALMS driver makes the most sense; it won't be anyone from IRL or the developmentals either, since those are pretty closely watched. Honestly, I'm betting on an ALMS test driver for one of the factory-spec teams.

Please, please, please, please, please, please, Please, please, please, please, please, please, Please, please, please, please, please, please, Please, please, please, please, please, please, Please, please, please, please, please, please, Please, please, please, please, please, please, Please, please, please, please,…

On AutoExpress's website, a commenter pointed out that it's not a new R8, but an MTM custom, as per on the nameplate.

If only there was an aftermarket LED sign that you could mount to your car, that way you wouldn't have to wait for car companies to get behind this idea.

Hrm, it's starting to resemble something... Wish I could put my finger on it...

I say we electrocute Matt Stone and Trey Parker for predicting the future and being witches.

Like this?

So....
