“We bought a 1938 Mercedes, and NOBODY KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT! Wacky drama and much smoothing back of hair!”

What they actually DO is interesting. The show is not.

I do the same whenever Calphalon is having a factory sale, one of their outlet stores is near me. I never knew I needed a searing wok until it was $30 instead of $250. Thanks, imperceptible mar in the finish on the outside! :)

Tri-ply heats more evenly than most non-stick pans due to its construction (a copper or aluminum core between the steel layers conducts heat across the entire pan bottom, or the bottom and sides of pots). I have a wide assortment of pans (Calphalon tri-ply making up the bulk of them, a few ceramic non-stick, and a few…

I had a 550whp Evo VIII that did that and shot fireballs out the back. It was a price to pay for that much power out of a 2.0 liter turbo on E85. I would not accept it on a $150k+ sports car.

“Rubbin’ is racin’.”

“Fuck you.”

I sat in one at the Philadelphia auto show a few years ago before the show opened to the public- the clutch felt like I was trying to push a school bus with my left foot. I still want one.

How many of the moneys I do not have will this mythical beast cost, so I may fail to set up a savings plan once again? :)

Not just a paintjob, it appears to have a one piece front end- I can’t find a hood opening or fender line on the thing. lol

I spent last Thursday beating on these and the CTS-V, M5 and M3 at NJMP at a Cadillac event- I was thoroughly impressed with how easy the new V series cars make it to go fast. We got the full engineering explanation of the super-short distance from the turbos to the intake for the lack of lag, which is cool to hear…

I spent all day yesterday at NJMP driving these, the ATS-V, and the M3 and M5. I have never before found myself behind the wheel of a $115k M5 bitching that it was TOO SLOW. I think I may have some sort of condition now. My PDR lap footage mostly consists of “WHEEEEE! Damn it, I’m stuck behind the BMW again... WHEEEE!”

When I was 16, my stepfather paid $500 for an 87 425 BiTurbo. I really liked it- it wasn’t slow, it handled okay, and I can say I learned how to drive a stickshift in a Maserati. For $500, it was great. For $5k, not so much. Then again, at 16 years old I had driven that, an 85 F150, and a Volvo 240 wagon, so my…

I vote we take up a collection to buy the test track that was up for sale a while back here in the U.S. and make our own giant high speed ring. Invite all the boys out to play where nobody gives a damn how loud you are or how fast you go.

A friend of mine and I used to have 2003 Lancer Evolutions and plenty of spare time, so we’d help each other modify them. At the time, I had converted mine to run on E85 and was making just North of 500hp at the crank (at a whopping 5mpg around town- not worth it) and he wanted to pull his 2.0 and replace it with the…

At this point, a pair of rotors for a 3 year old Caddy is almost as cheap as the hourly rate we charge for turning the rotors, so we just replace them as part of the service- probably a third of the time the rotors ended up below the discard spec anyway, so it’s just not worth doing it on a customer’s car. On my own…

Front windows: laminated glass. Rear windows: not so much.

You could buy a brand new leftover CTS-V coupe and send it to Lingenfelter for that kind of money. And it wouldn’t actively try to kill you.

Whatever you’ve been feeding your turtle to make it shit that color can’t be good for it. lol

This was her ‘Secretariat at the Belmont’ moment. The moment when you eclipse everyone else on the field. http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/secretari…

Timely enough, my stepfather’s father was one of the pilots of Marine One after he came back from Vietnam- he passed away earlier this year, and I never knew anything about what he did in the war or after until his funeral. I really wish he had shared stories with me, not necessarily from the war (he went in to rescue…
