Illinois can, too. Not sure if they ever have, but under the newish excessive speeding law, you can get 6 months for 26 over and a a year for 30 over. All this in a state where large sections of interstate have 80th percentile speeds in that range.

Just spray paint some dicks around those holes... they’ll be patched up in no time.
You guys are all hilarious. My turbo experience before my 2G MS3 was an FD RX-7. Now *that* is some turbo lag. The MS3 is practically instantaneous.
Well yeah, it's mostly tires, but it comes down to tire width (235 on the ST versus 185-205 depending on Miata) and contact patch size, as I believe Miatas have always come from the factory with summer tires. I actually got more mileage out of the factory summer rubber on my Mazdaspeed3 than I have out of any of the…
It's not even subjective. Stock for stock, an ST has more lateral grip than a Miata and much firmer suspension. Of course, the Mazda has more "potential," but they've always intentionally kept the grip down on Miatas from the factory to preserve some sort of "perfect balance."
Yeah, I wouldn't want a Supra roofline on my Supra.
Well, this is a college town, so it's pretty walkable as far as things go. Having looked up his address in the court record, I can tell you the walk home from the burrito joint would be .8 miles.
So this is implying the watermelon traveled about 1 m in 10 ms, so 100 m/s, which is 220 mph. I don't think an airbag would save a watermelon going that fast.
Miata didn't have an aluminum engine block until the NC. The BP engine in the NA/NB used an iron block.
And GTO. Did a lot of good there, though.
Standing around in front of cops with your hands in your pockets is also a terrible idea.
Yeah, it's the same. They fixed the VVT/timing chain problems by 2009, I believe. This affected the MS3, MS6, and CX-7.
The NYPD are basically on strike right now, so this is obviously the result of their boredom.
This. I think traction control is a HUGE part of the resurgence. Back in the day, Supras and RX-7s had big reputations for peaky powerbands that would spin you out of control when the boost came on if you weren't careful (and they had insurance costs to account for this). Faster turbos, better boost control, and…
This article might actually be a brilliant way to get a bunch of clicks—write something so preposterously stupid that its criticism goes "viral," generating ridiculous traffic.
Please tell me someone on Jalopnik has access to some database that contains, and who can secretly publish, Jane Hu's driving record. I want to see how many folks this dumbass has rearended. Hopefully Slate can publish a retraction of this godawful garbage.
You've obviously never driven/ridden in a swap? To address your specific questions, reliability has a lot of factors when comparing a rotary RX-7 to an LS swap (e.g. a well sorted single turbo and a driver mindful of AFR, coolant temps, etc, can be reliable, while a poorly executed swap can be problematic). All things…
He's done a pretty admirable job in The Bridge lately.
Damn, where's a Range Rover when you need it?
