That went swimmingly well.

Honestly, I think this guy might be my least favorite person on the WH staff. He’s like Steve Bannon, but if Bannon were a 14-year-old boy high on Adderall and misplaced arrogance. In fact, I’m starting to suspect that he’s some kind of evil clone child, a la Mini-Me from Austin Powers.

Yeah, but throw in a wife, two kids, a dog, and about 80 pounds of cookie crumbs, and you’re probably not going to hit those optimal times.

So, went to my local Alfa Dealer on Saturday and fell in love with a Giulia. Decided to try and make a deal and, after being told that the sales manager was “new”. found out that the discounts offered on their website suddenly disappeared. They would not even talk to me about a lease and said they don’t offer 36-month…

Pretty much, yup. It’s nice to go on PL every now and then, but it just seems so far out of reach..

I think they are pretty much for the type of “enthusiast” that’s more into the perception of wealth in vehicles and the rarity with that taking precedence over the gear head part.

I think he is referring to the Pontiac Vibe GT-R

Is Petrolicious the anti Jalopnik ? Petrocilious is all about the fancy, the rare, the curated content, the carefully edited and filtered vidoes, targetting the new wealth, the silicon valley type, teaching what’s hype, what’s collectible, the ones that made the 911 and 912 and soon 914 to be unobtainable for the…

“L8R GTR.”

So what I don’t get is, if you’re going through that much planning and set up, why wouldn’t one want to get a permit and shut down a street or take it to a track? That’s baffling.

say if/else one more time I dare you

Forget both of those. Whatever happened to French salad dressing?

Images that I didn’t need in my mind

Those BMW motorsports accents are the tackiest thing I wouldn’t be able to keep myself from getting on my own vehicle.

I would think a street car record would have to be run while in street car spec.

This is how drag racing has been referred to since the dawn of time. “Runs sixes” means it runs something slower than 5.999 but faster than 7.000.

Yes, it’s almost seven seconds, but it’s in the six-second range, and I’d like to see you do better.

these would have really been collectible if they were also visually desirable. Same with the last Pontiac GTO. Great car horrible to look at
