I once worked as a tech at a VW dealership. At first, I found them a bit different and figured I just needed some time and a bit of experience to learn their little idiosyncrasies. Then one day a customer's Passat came in on the back of a tow truck. A NEW (circa 2001) Passat. The owner said she had been driving along…

Nuff said....

Odd. I don't see a cooling fan. Does it have an alternator? And this 'air filter' some people are talking about? There appears to be only enough room for someone to stretch a nylon stocking over the throttle bodies. I would think that it would be possible to get the same (or close to it) amount of power out of a much…

Dammit, Jim!!

That poor, unarmed black woman...

Winning!!

Myself and every other tow truck driver out there thanks you! But you left out, "Always drink and drive.", "Never obey the speed limit.", "Always pass on a double yellow.", and my personal favorite, "If the oncoming lane is empty, use it."

Saw this on Facebook, didn't believe it, but had a chance one day to try it. Spray a bunch of Off insect spray on a cloth. Wipe the headlight. Done. Good lord, I was amazed!!

This is like watching F1. To the outside observer, everything looks so smooth and easy, yet in the cockpit, there's furious motion and hard work going on! Thanks, Tyler!

Impressive as expected. However, we've all seen this vantage point every time we've watched an F1 race. I think it would have been much more impressive if these guys had convinced as many other cars in the paddock to put the cameras on THEIR cars, and showed it from their perspective...

Possibly a laser range-finder or AF assist for a camera? Sony tried it for a while, but abandoned it...

*dealah

Tacoma (could be!) unintended acceleration!!

I drive a flatbed tow truck for a living and do these on a daily basis. Cost for this would have been $60 to load it onto the truck, then $4 a mile. Do the math. 90 minutes max, start to finish, I'd say.

The Athens Grand Prix, anyone? And since Greece is broke-assed, no fuel, one set of tires per car for all three days, the drivers have to wrestle for pole position, and each team must provide their own horse (to pull the cars, of course).

Jesus, this is now sounding like a properly depressing rant. I'll leave it there. Just remember all this stuff then next time you read a magazine group test with a prancing stallion in it. None of this will make any difference to Ferrari. I'm just an irrelevant Limey who doesn't really matter. But I've had enough of…

I'd love to see footage from an event with as many car/motorsport personalities as possible! Maybe a LeMons-type event with 25 identical model beaters driven by you and the rest of the Jalop crew, Matt Farah, Mike Musto, Freiberger and Finnegan, etc... Plus pre- and post-race discussions, etc., etc... Thoughts?
