I mean, it was built by a race car designer, somehow then designed like a racing car and given the very racingy name “F1..” not unlike the cars its designer, um, designed

So the McLaren F1 was a race car for the road.. and also a race car for the race track?

Welcome to rural North Carolina in July. Often seen piled up with tobacco, ironically.

Eh, I’m not sure Acura is lost in the woods as a brand necessarily. But their lineup is definitely uggo these days. It doesn’t help that literally the worst people drive new Acuras. Every time I get cut off by some sunglassed, slick-haired baby boomer in an RDX, I want to kick the bluetooth he’s inevitably wearing…

Awesome! I guess I’m not the only one who secretly wishes he could restore his plain-Jane daily driver. I have an OG Saab 9-3.. it’s not really desireable in any way (well, to sane people), but I’d love to just restore the whole damned thing to new and see what it was like for the first owner.

those wheels are very... Kia

nice try hahaha

handy dandy kodak 400. the local walgreens carried it until a few months ago.

No, it’s gonna be four hosts: Evans, Tiff Needell, Vicki Butler-Henderson and Johnny Smith. Get rid of Fifth Gear, take whatever tiny budget they had and stop spinning tires already, BBC

Great article. I read it twice. Maybe another tip could be to become familiar with your smartphone’s recording app and just record your conversation with the victim so you can focus on the (for lack of a better word) interview, rather than focus on memorizing the responses.

Shit. Tavarish beat me to it. Of course haha.

The next question is, will almost-new TDIs start showing up on the used car market at stupid-low prices?

Congress: Assault diesels need to be BANNED NOW. That goes double for high-capacity fuel tanks, synthetic black plastic body trim and exhaust silencers. Did you know these cars have SILENCERS in them? SILENCERS.

I have no idea. Mileage and torque are the two big reasons to buy a diesel, so that wouldn’t be any better really haha

I definitely agree. No, VW is not going to go bankrupt, but just the cost of halting sales and reflashing computers, compounded by the popular opinion (deserved or not) in the U.S. that buying a VW comes with complications, could be problematic. My questions would be, how long until it sells diesel cars in the U.S.…

Sept. 17: “Congrats on your torquey new Golf TDI!”

fun fact, Peter Stormare (foreground, above) was also the Vee Dub guy. Conspiracy!

zeh Germans.. zey believes in nothsing!

No, I’m sure they don’t, just like the other automakers don’t, really. But Ferrari always fights to be a little more exclusive than the rest. If that’s the club, I wouldn’t wanna join it.
