It might sell in places where they care about off road ability (not just the appearance of it) and don't care too much about MPG. So probably the Middle East, maybe Australia and South Africa.

The Mazdaspeed MX-5 has 10 more hp than a stock NC, weighs about 60 lb. less, and they only built 5500 of them. If Mazda really thought it was a problem they would have done more.

I wouldn't say the MX-5 is underpowered for anything other than drag racing. I wouldn't say 'no' to a little more low end torque but really it won't let you down if you drive it like it's meant to be driven. It's not going to set any 'ring records but for me the driving experience is better than anything else I've…

I thought God's bottle opener was the Kingdom Tower in Riyadh.

This is why we should all carry pro-quality DSLRs with us at all times and always shoot in raw format.

I think I read something about places with higher altitudes needing lower octane so I'm guessing the reverse would be true.

In California we get 87, 89 & 91 AKI which is equal to Europe's 91, 93 & 95 RON, respectively. Some eastern states and Canada have up to 94 AKI which is equal to Europe's 98 RON. And of course, if you're headed for the track you can usually find some 100 AKI nearby.

Heresy! Whoever built this: there is a stake and a stack of firewood with your name on it.

I think this is more like Plinko than Pachinko.

That was my nickname for… you know what, nevermind.

I wonder if people made as big of a deal when Buick switched from Straight 8s to V8s back in the 50s. People complain about cars being stuck in the past (Mustangs without IRS, NASCAR without fuel injection) until a company decides to get rid of an anachronism that they're personally fond of. Sure the I6 is an…

He's an elected official, not a monarch. Being reckless with his security wouldn't be fulfilling the duty that comes with his office.

Maybe it's not God that's doing it. Hmmm, who could it be… SATAN!?

1.3 feet wide? 15.6 inches? I'm pretty sure my shoulders are quite a bit wider than that.

What's the maximum angle of approach for that Pink Panther car? About three degrees?

If you click the link (an object, as text or graphics, linked through hypertext to a document, another object, etc. ), you will notice that the Dragonmaster (Ray Wert) copies and pastes these history blurbs verbatim (word for word). Maybe this time he should have adjusted the text (edited, what an editor does) for the…

The 2.5L engine was a 4 cylinder and not an inline 6 like the 250F?

Never break down, either.

Carhenge is a bit surreal in the morning when it's overcast. My buddy was transporting an RV from LA to Baltimore and picked me up for the ride. I don't know how many miles out of our way we went to see Carhenge but I think it was worth it. There's a bunch of this stuff in "A Program About Unusual Buildings & Other…

Which Germans? Audi is German.
