Also, another shirt site car related: http://blipshift.com/ I got this one for my dad (and myself).

Clearly the answer is this.

Another shot across the bow in VW's beigekrieg?

Volvo I'd Like to (Scandinavian) Flick?

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz (SLS AMG Black Series)?

When Matt comes down from this high it is not going to be pretty. We'll probably need to put him on suicide watch.

Re 1st: That's some spicy curry!

Best sounding car (any car counts, road, race, current, not current)?

But hold the KERS. Don't need that breaking every other drive.

Slight correction. It's 55 once you get to the N. Springs MARTA station exit heading S, 65 up until then. The shoulder lane ends before that point. So even worse than you've originally stated, 65 / 45.

That doesn't appear to include the upgrade spec'd in the article :(. Will have to monitor to see what the list turns out to be.

"These upgrades are available and any Volvo dealer and can be applied to new or used cars."

Both my father and I have taken his V70R through a back-woods twisty 55mph zone mountain road with turns that top out at 35mph apex speeds multiple times without cooking the brakes. I'd be pretty confident the Polestars would have different/other/better brakes than stock Volvos.

Most of my driving instructors used wussy little orange cones to mark the line through a corner...

Totally agreed. As a driver I know that white stuff is snow or ice and will be slippery and I can drive accordingly. That black "cleared" stuff? No freakin' clue until I'm in a low/no traction event. I was taught to drive on the "known" surface, even if it may be slippery itself. I don't have your 20 years in…

I've seen it be the case in may states that they stop selling beer 1hr before the end of the event. One particular race that no longer exists used to have a spec miata race that would finish right around an hour after the main event just so they could continue beer sales through the duration :).

Friday, March 5th 2010: A woman shaving her lady-parts wrecks car, Jalopnik reports.

Bah, it's a crutch for those who are not 80's-tastic enough to be able to execute a perfect Top Gun Hi/Lo five regardless of the other party's ability level. If you haven't sized up the other person's arm and swing radius before you started, well, you're gonna crash and burn my friend. Why? Because you're reckless…

I'm sure that's an option if the instructor thinks you're getting cocky :).

I'm pretty sure Thomas is dropping a load of coal on the tracks in that lead photo...
