“Stop pissing, Yuri. Give me a map and a stopwatcha and I’ll fly through the Alps in a plane with no windows."

A quick scan of the comments and I’ve only seen one reply that noted this: It’s f’n COLD in Minneapolis for a not insignificant portion of the year! Some of those months are a deep freeze with lots of snowfall. When you have to park your car and trudge through the snow to get to the restaurant, that’s more than an…

That’s nice, but I don’t think it’ll suit FancyKristen. She’s probably more of a Holland & Holland Range Rover girl. Clarkson, Hammond and May featured it on Top Gear. (Sorry - the only video I could find of it was this one in Spanish)

Air-cooled 911's are rare these days and people who’ve got them know what they have. Corvettes were produced in larger numbers and are plentiful. Perhaps in time they will appreciate, assuming you find a limited edition version or one that’s completely cherry. I’ve seen so, so many that were rode hard and put away wet.

They won’t be for long.

Something like this ought to work. Been thinking about one for my car.

What a nice, circumspect of saying “mistakes were made...by us”

Okay, I was with you right up until that remark about the LS engine. Sure, it doesn’t spin as blindingly high as the NSX, but torque and horsepower don’t depend solely on how high you can rev. Mr. Regular summed up the LS engine quite well.

This reminded me of a show I saw on TV a while back. Not sure if it was Top Gear. An old late 50's Maserati race car versus a new Volkswagen GTI on the same race track. The GTI left the Maserati in the dust.

Well, that and damaging the lawn!

That’s because your Cali friend realized he was close buddies with a guy born without taste buds and had to reevaluate the relationship. Five Guys is great if you enjoy ground beef cooked to a safe temperature. I’m convinced their schtick is the utter absence of any spices. Also, if you’ve ever been to one, you’d know…

Maybe it’s the absence of the option that has east coasters (and midwesterners like me) excited to grab a bite at In-N-Out when we’re in the southwest. All I know is I enjoyed my Double Double animal style and the fries are okay. The staff is friendly - mostly likely because they’re well compensated compared to other…

It’s humiliating enough to admit he’s been left with a bagel-shaped Brazillian wax job. I’ll take Torch’s word for it when he says he successfully shit in a bag like an astronaut.

The person I spoke with on the phone seemed willing to do the research until I foolishly let slip that I was interested in, um, testing one out. Whirlpool never got back to me.

My dad had a 79 with the L-82. You’d think it was anemic, but the kid he bought it from raced it on weekends. Big carb, Edelbrock intake, straight pipes. It could pull the trans over the top in 4th gear. 70 to 120 was much faster than you’d expect and there’s nothing quite like the roar of the secondary barrels…

Home Security salesman: Surely you can’t put a price on your family’s safety.

Ugh. This fee-based app access has to stop. I don’t understand how companies think customers are willing to open up their wallets in perpetuity. What bothers me is it opens the door to for them to raise that fee whenever it suits them. My wife bought a Cadillac XT5 and it has an OnStar subscription, but this is…

The idea goes back a LOT further than that, Patrick. But the CARV III sure is purdy.

That point would when you get the sensation of your back getting pressed into the seat and hear the roar of the engine at WOT. In a Merc - even a base model - I’d expect that sensation in less than a second.
