But seriously, it is entirely possible that a Florida car dealer was unscrupulous and lied about the lightning strike.

Key word - Florida. This was a meth lab explosion with a poor cover story.

Little Giant is one of the most trusted names in ladders, and their 17' model is down to the lowest price Amazon has ever offered today. [Little Giant Alta-One 17' Ladder, $187]

Hehe. No worries - sorry to be a wise ass. If for some reason you can't watch it, like at work or whatever - he actually manages to stick the landing, so to speak, until the car gradually comes to a stop, then he gets down. (But then you probably gathered the gist of that from my smartass comment).

Didn't so much watch the video as just look at the .gif, did ya?

Why don't they just wet the track, or do dirt track racing? Not any dumber than driving around on flat tires because oooooh then you predictably burn the sidewalls.

"What you're seeing is the result of very low tire pressure at the rear, necessary to handle big horsepower."

Made me think of:

Or was it just a link to "last week"?

Someone pissed off Dodge President Tim Kuniskis last week by asking about a rumor that that only 1,200 Challenger Hellcats would be produced. So we're getting more, that's fine. But what other cars should we have gotten more of?

Still - I kind of trust Lotus engineers and a proven excellence in the balance of all these things more then I trust an enthusiast tinkering with them, at least for…

The Elise's brilliance is that is it one of the most balanced, nimble, best handling cars you can buy.

"The guy who bought a Pacifica from us and ended up sleeping in it with his friend, a stripper, and their two bull mastiffs?

Trailer Park Boys did it first.

Isn't asking which are the ten "fastest" an empirical question? I mean, choose a standard definition (e.g., 0-60, quarter mile) and provide a table. Bam. Top ten fastest.

Gonna go out on a limb and say that's what I think his point was, there.

Again, Quattroporte: 0-60 < 5 sec.

I'm sure the sound of it slamming into a guardrail because it can't go around a turn will sound equally ferocious.

I agree with Maik. Any question of what more Stewart could have allegedly done (already difficult to prove, and has been argued thoroughly already) seems like it would be quite easily outweighed - at least in the criminal negligence sense - by the fact that the person who was struck was clearly, unquestionably,…
