I have 3 years left until I retire at age 66. I want to take road trips to scenic places in the US. Ideally, it would be in a car like a Miata, but practicality will probably take something more sedate. The big question is, where should I go first?

Gabor, will you be covering any more European races such as Spa or Monza? I look forward to more articles and coverage by you.

How wonderful to see the LeMans winning Mazda 787B taking it to the Goodwood hillclimb. Seeing all those beautiful cars is high octane overload. My favorite car that was shown the 1971 McLaren Mk 8F Can Am car. For me, there have never been any cars that can rival the Can Am cars. The sound, the speed, the glory that

Well, I hope that happens. The Hungaroring always brings surprises and really tests both drivers and cars. F1 needs to remember its heritage, which is why I want to see classic European race tracks on the schedule. Thanks for the great article! And, wasn’t it a nice tribute to Jules by Seb when he was on the podium?

Honda could do so much to improve their standing with enthusiasts by coming out with something similar to the car that is being discussed. A small, lightweight, mid-engined, efficient Honda would bring people back in the fold. I know that I would definitely consider them again after having been away for a number of

I was so surprised, yet so excited to see both Ferraris ahead at the start. Seb’s start was brilliant and immediately put him into the lead. This was my favorite moment of the race. Another surprise was to see both Ferraris pull away from the Mercedes cars. My heart sank a little when Hulkenberg lost his front wing

Very funny. Commas? Sure. Speaking of idiots, you are the grand champion. The good thing is that I called you and exposed you for the troll that you are. You are out of your league little man. Time to back away while you still can without being made a greater fool than you already are.

And I love how stupid your rebuttal was to me. Are you as dense as an oak tree Einstein?

Thank you for your service. I was 49 at the time, but I felt the same way. I was so outraged. To be honest, I am still angry about it and want to annihilate every terrorist out there who dares to endanger the US as well as innocent people.

Hey stupid, Gawker is not mainstream media like CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN and MSNBC or the New York Times or the Washington Post. How many people Einstein do you think read Gawker? That’s what I though. Smart asses...

I wouldn’t call it “creepy”, but I would call it solemn and grim. It wasn’t just the look of Dick Cheney. Condi Rice also was deeply disturbed as was Colin Powell. How else were people supposed to look and act on such a day of infamy?

Every year, the Hungaroring is unbearably hot and humid. The drivers are drenched in sweat when they exit their cars. The track itself is very challenging and really tests the drivers. Lewis Hamilton loves the place and has done very well here. While Rosberg seemed to be struggling somewhat, cool, calm and collected

Very fascinating article. For years, the Forestry Service used warbirds from WWII such as the B17, TBM Avenger. F7F Tigercat as well as Catalinas, Neptunes and later even C130 Herks. I love the fact that the Fire Boss is using a dependable Pratt and Whitney turboprop from the Texan II. Lots of power for such a light

You will probably only read this here because the mainstream media likes to always portray Israel in a negative light and demonize it. But, here is a prime example of how willing Israelis are help their neighboring countries, in this case, with Cobra gunships.

OK, let’s call this a draw. I have tried some humor and harmless sarcasm, but you want to drag this out. This is not worth getting all worked up about. You like Subarus. So do I. I just like Evos more. This will be my last post on this./

Game, set and match. Time to hit the locker room champ. Speaking of fanbois, how are you doing? You have yet to make your case. Give up while the going is still good.

Back in the 70s and 80s, people were saying that the oil companies were trying to stop a breakthrough 100 mpg carburetor.

Back in the day, I was very loyal to Smith Auto #1 that specialized in making more horsepower out of Muscle Cars. And, there was MAS-Minnesota Auto Specialties that had a Ford SOHC engine and a blown Hemi in the showroom. When I discovered the joys of import cars, I went to Import Auto that carried the Kamei line of

Oh, how many Subarus are in the WEC? Yeah, that is what I thought. None. Zero. Nada. When you have lost on the debate about the better street car, you trot out rally racing in North America. I still stand by my comments that the Evo X is much superior to the Sti, on the road, on dirt and modified. Case closed. /

Now playing

I thought we were talking about street production cars, not rally or race cars. Apples and Oranges. Just concede that the Evo X is a superior street machine. Oh, did I mention Subarus infamous ringland problem?
