Agree with Loping that the 911 needs to be here. However, I'd swap the Miata for the 911 but leave the M3. M3's have more historical significance, especially with its relation to predecessor BMWs.

A guy said something ignorant at a dinner. Boo hoo. It's not like there's any chance of this happening. Moving on...

Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw represent the exact opposite of the trend of yellow journalism that you describe. My previous point though, was that juxtaposing rendered images from an amateur artist with a "story" from a newsworthy source is disingenuous. Sorry again to Matt because I get where he's coming from but if…

Sorry but I could never imagine legendary journalists like Walter Cronkite or Tom Brokaw getting news about a war, then showing images of the dead from a Hollywood movie. Don't manufacture news, present it please.

Looks like it's Adobe Caslon Pro Semibold Italic. I'm a graphic designer and I approve that choice. It's a fantastic typeface, especially for small printed type.

I think you mean cigar lighter.

This is a juvenile argument and is invalid. Your argument boils down to the fact that you need to push a button to engage it and therefore usually don't have it engaged unless it's premeditated. So the hell what? You need to turn a special key in a Bugatti Veyron before attempting a top speed run because the onboard…

Glad Frank wasn't injured but it looked like the crash was intentional after downshifting to slow down. With all that extra available dragstrip would it have been better to leave the gearbox in neutral and brake to a stop?

Both. It's the same motor as last year, and the same as the base model. The difference is 18 horsepower from a Nismo exhaust system and tune.

Agreed. I've given some thought to that situation and I think the best response is probably to release the brake slightly, lean back and brace for impact. If I release the brake a bit then my car will transfer more of the energy into movement. I'll probably collide with the car in front of me if I was rear ended hard,…

Would rather have the board game

Lol agreed.

I actually agree with most of what you said about a good mechanic testing the car out. However, it's all a moot point because contrary to your first sentence, a Ferrari F40 is indeed not replaceable. And therefore, is priceless, and therefore the risk never should have been taken on public roads in the first place.…

I'm confused, you said that you always eased through the intersection at 10 or 15 mph due to the danger of not being able to see. That makes perfect sense to me, and is a good way to reduce your risk. Seems like you agree with me that there are always steps you can do to decrease your risk. Were you inching through…

Good question Dusty, and I'm happy to give an honest answer. Those of us who ride motorcycles know that collisions should be avoided AT ALL COSTS. Even an innocent, unavoidable accident can have deadly consequences for you on a motorcycle. I read your situations and agree that those are indeed predicaments where even…

You might be right about him being a relatively safe, law-abiding driver. That doesn't change the fact that he chose to take a risk with someone else's priceless property.

It's not your legal fault; but you did fail to avoid the accident, so on some level you are partially responsible because another action on your part could have avoided the collision. My point, though is you were also the one who took the RISK by driving on public roads. This is a necessary risk for all of us to live…

By the way, yes I do actually check for red light runners before proceeding, and as a result have never been hit by one, despite seeing several red light runners zip in front of me.

Listen, he could be the best, most law abiding driver on earth but other people are not. He was taking a huge and unnecessary risk when taking that F40 out of the parking lot for a test drive on public streets. This is not a Toyota Camry or even a Bugatti Veyron which could be replaced with enough insurance money.…

Um, hate to be the first to turn the tables here, but... is it at all suspicious that the mechanic was the one behind the wheel of the ferrari? I come from the school of thought that if you are in an accident, you are at least somewhat at fault, because you failed to avoid it. If I were the Ferrari owner, I would…
