If a 997 GT2 RS only needs two exhaust tips to make 620 horsepower, your WRX sure as hell doesn’t need four.

Increased wheel sizes are the solution to the “riding on milktops” look that higher belt-lines otherwise creates. A good example is the E65 7-series. With the stock 18” wheels it looked like it was on bottle caps. It needed the 19s to not look goofy.

Size is a lot too, as well as creature comforts.

Wow, gained almost 1,000 lbs.

Well, digging around I can’t find a curb weight for the Cimbria SS. I can, however, find the curb weight for the Eagle SS (which is effectively the same damn car) which is supposed to have a curb weight of ~750kg (1653lbs) with a fiberglass body: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Car…

There is no way this weighs 1100lbs. An Ariel Atom weighs more!

I am ... shopping ... a Cayman GT4 but I can’t seem to get any dealer to do away with the markup.

I think most people have no idea that you can buy any car in orange. Orange McLaren is pretty much pure fantasyland to them, so the average viewer would probably believe it.

They also work well on refrigerators and alarm bells...

He calls that a collection? Pffft!

What? It’s a hatchback, too!

Oh, this video gets even crazier, alright!

I read the note. And then I laughed and laughed like a small child who just witnessed a brightly-colored mascot fall down the stairs at a minor league baseball game.

It wasn’t a real Emmy, it was a regional “Lone Star Emmy” which only people in TX are eligible for.

I’ve never understood the appeal of tunnel plugs. I’d be terrified of someone sneaking up behind me to lock a padlock on one of them before running away.

Here’s the numbers as to why plastic parts are “part-binned”.

The people who actually buy them. I’ve driven the 4C, and it has nowhere near the suspension sophistication of the mid-engined elephant in the room. Even Lotuses are much, much more predictable.
