I love how we’ve reached a point where a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 326 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque is prefaced with ‘only’ 

Minnetonka BMW is a Palace and the Espresso is very good, and I never go there unless I get desperate. 

I still remember the “Hi” marketing for this car. It was well done and really hit the aesthetic that the car had.

I’ve seen the video. You’re right not to ask. 

In before folks start complaining about cyclists not following the rules of the road or having insurance. Get bent. Most cyclists just want to safely get where they are going and are doing their best to do so. Put down your phone and pay attention to the 4500lb steel missile you’re guiding down the road. Its up to you…

Is it a documentary? No, then get over it! Stories are stories. Stories BASED on historical events are still stories, not history.

They had a lot of potential.  They were de-tuned and drug down by emissions equipment.  This was also still in the early days of electronic fuel injection.  This engine has a couple hundred horsepower hiding in there, ready to come out with some readily available parts off of the shelf or scrap yard.  

That was the impression I got, too - that it had been lifted. The wheelwell gaps look wrong.

This was fascinating and illuminating. Glad Deadspin is sticking so closely to sports like this.

It bored me to death. I fell asleep while riding one and crashed and died.

OK, so I didn’t watch the trailer because the idea is so wrong I can’t get behind it.

Here’s the thing- we all want our vigilante billionaires to be Bruce Wayne, but in reality, they’re Donald Trump. They’re Jeffery Epstein. They’re John McAfee. They’re just rich guys who think the law doesn’t really apply to them…

annnnnd it already broke down, literally on the way home for the guy who bought it

His face does have a very Bleuthian expression of defeat on it.

However, in retrospect it would take you 10 billion years to get one free gallon of gas from an Oil Tycoon and he would also make you suck is dick...sooooo I think solar might be a great alternative.

How is accurate information fear-mongering? A standard F-150 has a 23 gallon tank, meaning that an increase in gas prices of $0.39 / gallon would increase the cost of your fillup by $9. 

No apocalypse. No apocalypse. You’re the apocalypse.

I think the initial stories about Elon’s poor planning and promotion of this (and the equally strange Laguna Seca laps that seemed like a last-second Plan B) were warranted.

If you read the article by Robb (who knows the ‘Ring better than most people currently alive on this planet) it wasn’t “Tesla can’t do this,” it was “Tesla should take time and do this right because the track is on another level.”

Because look at it. It’s the last great Corvette body.

I’m biased against USA. You lot should’ve bought more Holden Commodores and Ford Falcons :P
