Well, that was a Dunlop Series car, not a V8 Supercars Championship car. Essentially, the Dunlop Series is a feeder series for the Championship series, and they get cars that are a few years old, so where the Holden entry in the top tier is the VF, in the Dunlop Series, they run the VE, with much lower horsepower.

Marion Barry was the number one name that popped into my head, but Philadelphia's John Street is another.

Ford GT. Along with the Shelby Daytona Coupe, they comprise the two sexiest vehicles to ever be built. Ever.

Probably not. They most likely determined how many cars of this generation they'd build, then did a lifetime buy. If you're planning on building 100 cars, it's definitely an investment, but they probably don't need more than the 100 for each car, and a couple dozen for spares/replacements.

I lived there for four years while in college. Transferring wasn't an option. My wife went to college there, and worked there for five years afterwards. We lived in Cherry Hill. Philly is a shithole.

V8 Supercars will be in Austin at Circuit of the Americas in May. I'd expect it'll be broadcast on one of the major networks, though who knows which one will carry it, and if it'll be live, or played off-hours.

V8 Supercars are still listed on SPEED's website, but there's no program information, even going out weeks or months. I've resigned myself to the PS3's Youtube app, and my couch. I'm definitely bummed about this.

You're obviously painfully unaware of the point of this article, as well as $kaycog's post.

Autoblog??? You've got to be serious.

I know your evidence is anecdotal, but they seem to be moving a good amount of them, so perhaps the majority of people just don't care, any more.

You know, I love Edgar Wright, and I really wanted to like this movie, but I just can't. I've tried several times, too. I just...can't.

Rebellion against the federal government to maintain the supreme authority of state governments.

They're gas turbines with waterjets.  What's top secret about that?

You only really need a 5' bed to haul an 8' sheet of drywall, as the tailgate folds down to give you about another 1.5' of support, and that's more than enough.  Sure, it'll be bigger than a compact car, but compact trucks were ALWAYS bigger than compact cars.  The old Ranger couldn't get a full-size sheet of drywall

Right.  While our evidence is purely anecdotal, it really is the crux of the issue - how much cheaper could a Ranger pickup be, to keep it separated from a stripper F-150?  It's likely that to make the vehicle as cheap as possible, they'd go unibody, so not only would the F-150 likely be more powerful, it would be

The Ranger did compete, and Ford sold a hell of a lot of them, at super high profit margins, because they essentially sold the same vehicle for almost thirty years with nothing more than light mechanical and visual facelifts.  The issue for them was that the F-150 is their bread and butter, and Ford felt the Ranger

But the SSR was an EXTREMELY niche product, more so than any 'ute or small pickup would be.  I mean, they were heavy, handled like piss, ugly as sin (almost as bad as a PT Cruiser or HHR), slow, and offered zero utility.  I drove a manual-equipped model with the LS2, and was amazed at how truly awful the vehicle was.

I just moved to Charleston, and there was a lot of ironclad activity here during the latter stages of the Civil War.  I do the same exact thing!

I miss watching the Modifieds (big block) and Modified Affordables (small block) at Wall Stadium.  Sad.

Pittsburgh isn't much better, but as someone who lived in or around Philthy for a decade, I agree. I'm a fan of some of the Philly teams' most bitter rivals (Devils, Mets, Giants) and I can't tell you how many times I've almost gotten in fights at games, or even just walking around downtown. Philly and its fans can
