It wasn't all bad being stranded out there in the desert. Having food would have been ideal, but we managed to get a nice campfire going and had the company of a couple other stranded teams to help pass the time.

Judging by the angle of the guardrail with respect to level, and the direction of the damage to the rear of the car, he went into the guardrail backwards. The broken off wooden support post for the sign that you can see in the first picture would lead me to believe that the speed at impact was pretty phenomenal. …

Whatever man, I've said my piece and I have nothing else to say. At this level, way more time is earned by driver skill than by car capability. I'm over it. If you don't understand why someone would think the V12 Vantage S is wonderful, than it's you who's missing out, not me. I'm over it.

Another good example is the BMW 2002 Turbo, as pointed out to me by reader TFritch. With racy graphics and its status as the first European production car with a turbocharger, it was also decried as a hooligan's car, according to PistonHeads:

Private ownership will drive insurance rates through the roof, thus increasing any fees paid to use the course, if drivers will even be allowed to access the track with…

So the working title "Transformers: Raging Semi" didn't get greenlit?

It was a good race too! I haven't seen ruts like that in a Supercross in a long time.

Damn. I missed that race. I rarely miss a Supercross.

Oregon Tech runs rally stages with their cars.

That is one of the most simplistic and, I'm sorry, simple-minded explanations of a complex decision-making process. The GOP clearly should not have interfered or threatened a business enterprise on ideological grounds as they did and, for better or worse, the rejection of a union VW wanted has made the decision (and…

Change 1 thing: make it a stick shift

I dislike this - you used to be able to get to a gawker site from anywhere in the page. you could scroll for a mile on comments, then click the little three lines icon and get right back to jalopnik.com (or move to any other gawker site) by clicking the appropriate site. Why not also have the drop down next to the J…
