It all depends on how you are braking in the corner. If you are not using all the traction available for turning the car, then some amount of braking may not be an issue so long as it does not cause any of the tires to exceed their traction limits. Things to consider would be (not comprehensive!): what is the…

Proper winter tires or stay home. Anytime we get snow down here in ATL everyone with an SUV and "all weather tires" (that look more like racing slicks since they haven't been replaced in 20 years) suddenly comes out cockier than Elon Musk and they start checking each other into the barriers more frequently than a…

She also beat me in an autocross in a skidcar when I was 16... Which now that I look back on it really put me squarely in my place and is something I'll be training my fiancee to do to our future kids (minus the nice cars, still working on that whole "Acquire wealth, ignore females" thing... but I seem to have got it…

My mom drives an E55 AMG Merc, wants a Porsche 911 Turbo S and has gotten into debates with my father and I regarding the Merc SLS vs. an Aston DBS in terms of styling and performance. This thing is well over 200hp shy (among other short comings) of her "loving it."

Nice. I did a lot of karting growing up. Had a race a couple days after the 4th of July and needed to bed in the motor after replacing the piston ring. Figured it was 5 in the afternoon on a day when people were going to be blowing shit up, so we fired up the kart and ran the motor through the prescribed bedding…

When I was looking for a Mini to import I found a beautiful one (that, funny enough, matched how I had painted my garage floor with a checkerboard blue / silver roof... but I digress) but it was at the time only 24 years old. Bust. Looked around at how to do VIN swaps (there is an entire economy around that…

Am I seeing this correctly? Speed finally will have a show worth watching again?

Because apparently there is a tenth of a second of throttle lag...

"It ain't my fault, it f*cking AT&T's fault"

There is no way... that is either an epic price (EP > NP) or there is something in the closet that hasn't come out yet.

Priceless. #cotd

Re 2nd gear:

Interesting that it has S trim (silver mirrors, S badge on grille), yet is an A8 coupe. With the right S engine package that could be a pretty hot ride.

The tranny fluid on your dipstick seems a little on the thick side...

The number of injuries from tricycles may be scary, but what I find truly scary is that these same 130k idiots who couldn't handle piloting a <20lb human-powered small vehicle are now piloting 3000 lbs+ cars on public roads.

I was always more partial to the oxidation reaction video with a gummy bear bursting into flames when dropped into a heated liquid... for the life of me I can't remember what liquid though :(

Drive in like a lamb, flame out like a Li-Ion

I want it just to melt the sh*t outta the a-holes who tailgate me down single lane roads when I'm clearly caught behind slower traffic.

The quickest way to say "I'm an older single female who collects bags and cats, dresses like a blind librarian and have only enough understanding of cars to turn them on" is with this car. You'd have to pay me way more than $4000 just to drive it to the junk yard. This isn't a novelty item, it's an abomination that…
