The most expensive car near me (according to Hemmings) is a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL for $1.45 million.

My 1994 Civic DX. It had 200K miles on it (all mine!), was bigger on the inside than out, and got 40+ mpg highway, even when filled full of camping gear. The only reason I’m not still driving it was because it was stolen out of my driveway in July of 2015.

Nico made the gremlins a better offer this year.

It’s like Matthew Inman (who draws The Oatmeal) designed a car.

Egoiste! Egoiste! Egoiste! *slams shutters*

Now playing

It’s so Nash drivers can tell Cadillacs to get out of the way.

Right now it’s a neat toy. It’s half of a Blackhawk’s size, but can only take half of its internal cargo and no external sling. The 185-mile range might be adequate for urban operations but makes it useless for covering any significant territory. It does operate in a niche that nothing else does well, but it needs

No, I expect he will be serving the Motherland for many years at an important post in Siberia (above the Arctic Circle).

How could you forget the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle from Stripes?

I think they’re starting from Zandvoort.

It could also be a towed sonar array that got lost. It would certainly resemble a military device with transducers and acoustic sensors.

I want there to be talk about more resource parity between teams (well, there has been, but it’s effectively been vetoed by the “haves”)

A, “Qualifying Race” is weird when Blancpain does it and just as weird for F1. If you’re going to have multiple races in a weekend, at least have them all count for full points.

The damage is consistent with a hit from a continuous-rod warhead. I don’t know what missiles currently use them, though.

I’ve seen the, “!” used to represent the click-pop sound (such as !Kung). So, this car is the Event Click-Pop.

I asked my wife. She replied, "Planter."

I'm surprised that no-one has suggested the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. It's FIA Grade 1, has plenty of pit space (43 cars per NASCAR regs), and routinely delivers great racing in other series.

I don't blame either driver for what happened because it's just one of those things. Could Hamilton have given Rosberg 15cm more room? Certainly! Could Rosberg have backed out a twentieth of a second earlier? Of course! I think this is causing a big discussion precisely because it's so ambiguous.
