Excellent! Been trying to think of a witty response but there’s no way I’ll ever ketchup with yours.

As fun as it is to see the Wienermobile hot-dogging it around COTA, to be frank its lap times just won’t cut the mustard. Even so, I relish the opportunity to see this happening in person.

I’ve driven right-hand-drive cars (in the US,) all with manual transmissions. You get used to it pretty quickly. the thing I kept forgetting was where to look for the rear-view mirror. although the balky shifter in the Mustang had me running into the stops between gates a few times.

Also, how jaded are we when 460 hp is dismissed so quickly as inadequate?

Spot on. It should be super cheap but reliable, so they’re not afraid to drive it hard, and low-powered, so they can learn the joys of slow car fast. My ‘90 Accord 5-speed filled this role perfectly. It wasn’t my first car, but it was my first car as an enthusiast, and it was perfect. I even learned some wrenching.

Snapchat was so aware of how this app could be misused they put in a warning message asking people not to do so.

If you think the girl would’ve drove 113mph without the snapchat filter as motivation, then you might have a point, but I don’t think she would’ve. My first thought was that this was just a news item magnified just to provoke outrage, but it totally makes sense.

My first thought when I read the headline. (I found a brown one for you guys)

For everyone using the “a Fox Mustang is too common to be worth this much” argument, let me introduce you to this 1969 Yenko Camaro, one of 201 produced by Don Yenko, a Pennsylvania Chevrolet dealer and tuner. 201 out of 281,000 Camaros produced in 1969 got the Yenko treatment. The above example, despite its automatic…

You’re kidding, right? Because only someone who had no idea what the classic car market was doing right now would even ask this question.

I’m a big fan of the Accord. It’s pretty far removed from today’s, but the best car I’ve ever owned was a ‘90 coupe with a 5-speed. Insanely reliable, attractively designed, and pretty stinking fun. I’m pretty sure I would still be driving it today if I hadn’t screwed up the rocker arms, bending a valve.

90 days in jail for speeding... granted that doing 170 mph on a public road may be one of the stupidest things a human can do... but still... 90 days? there goes his job... his car... maybe even his house. I say fine his ass, even take the car! but im not a fan of jail time....

Why is it that the interior of every private plane, no matter how expensive, ends up looking like a 1985 Starcraft van conversion?

Wow, and to think I have neither that or cup holders. Not having to drive a soul crushing wallowy potato shaped object was what I considered most essential in my DD.

Have you ridden in the bendy portion of an articulated bus, across from a wino? Have you tried to have a pee at 60+ mph in the back of a Greyhound on a multi-state trip to New Mexico with your dad as he tries to steady you so you don’t piss on the seat the window and the floor?

I don’t think anyone could reasonably dispute its merits. It’s just lazy and lacks imagination.

Well, that heavily depends on where you are.

Those kind of mods, aside from rectifying the ridiculous exhaust tips, are not resale mods... They aren’t things the owner does to flip the car for a profit... the owner does those things for the love of the car, and personal preference.
