Why is this here?
I'm sure the Muslims sitting in your cages are thinking the same thing.
I find it perfectly reasonably to hate terrorists and wish violence upon them, but Muslims? come on. when you say Muslims I think of all of my Muslim friends here who are nothing like those terrorists. call them what they are, terrorists.
Don't forget that Nasser Al-Attiyah is also an accomplished Skeet shooter, with a Bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics, as seen here: http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/summe….
Oh, I don't expect everyone to drive a microcar. Hence the if. I don't always want to drive a Smart, either. I love going fast. And, it doesn't suck. It does what it does well and it's fun to live with. I don't think you know it very well. But, the actual truth is it would solve a lot of problems if everyone drove a…
Which is why we should stop driving 5,000 lb pickups empty to go to the mall. Or we should all drive 30,000 lb tanks to feel safer around the pickups. Or just stay home wearing a helmet and elbow pads at all times
Ford GT described by my grandmother over the phone to an 8 year old with photoshop skills, who happens to have a poster of the Viper in his room.
I drive a 428i with the 8-speed ZF transmission you mentioned. I wanted an automatic because I was moving to Southern California and I had heard the traffic was really bad. Honestly, my schedule is flexible enough that I can normally avoid traffic, so sometimes I do get a little sad that I didn't buy something crazy…
"I understand where BMW is coming from; they figure most "purists" that want a manual transmission car, also want the lighter weight and balance of rear-drive." Uh, yeah. This exactly. I can't imagine there's more than a handful of people outside the internet that would buy an xDrive with a stick. People who want…
I conditionally agree with that. The condition being that making it controllable doesn't negatively affect the driving experience. And it's possible it won't. But I am a little skeptical of that, despite BMW's claims regarding rear-torque biasing, because AWD adds weight, complexity and driveline drag to a vehicle.
I'm so fucking finished with the BMW Internet Warriors. They simultaneously hate and want to define what the company is. I'm so confused.
It makes a certain kind of sense, but only in a context of "more power is always an improvement/the most appropriate way to increase performance."
The car is pure sex, right up until you get around to the back. Then it's pretty much a derpfest, which is bad considering the view most people will get of it is from the back.
This. This is the shot that sold me on the new NSX. Fucking awesome.
That's my favorite Merc of all time. I wish I could saw it in person.
Boy its a good thing you told them how to properly unveil a car. Don't you think if Honda could have they would have unveiled the NSX like the Ford GT? No company plans to start a project then have to change it, but things come up. I would rather it be late and right and have Jalopnik writers bitch about how they…
Veyron, GTR, R8, LFA... many cars had a long and drawn out build up and end up being everything promised. Then there's the other side of the coin, like the chevy volt which did half of what was promised and took years to even get there.

If Peter does not make this list I will cry, the man does a great job with cars that are meant to be boring as hell. If anyone can take an also ran Korean brand from the infamy of Willard Fillmore soap on a rope to Lebron James commercials for the full size luxury car it is Peter Schreyer. As a designer her is magic.
Ian Callum certainly hits the top of that list for me - I've never quite gotten over the beautiful design language he created at Aston Martin. I'd also like to throw in Henrik Fisker (Until the Fisker Karma debacle, at least), Bill Mitchell, Chris Bangle (love or hate his designs, you talk about them and have an…
