I thought I was following it pretty well, but after the topless chick I was just totally lost.

It was probably given to him as a joke gift, but no one at Valve has noticed because they don't understand the concept of "3". They just can't count that high.

The 8C Spider: It's pretty, it's stylish, it's exclusive, it's just showy enough without being a testosterone-fueled supercar. This is as close as you're going to get to a diamond necklace on wheels.

The man in the Ferrari hat really just says it all, doesn't he.

Pretty much any sort of sport trim level that only changes the appearance and does nothing involving actual performance. My favorite is the classic BMW base 3 series with M badges on everything except the things that impact actual performance.

"Partial Zero Emission" is the best thing I've ever heard, but I think the concept is wasted confined to the automobile market. I bet I could make a killing selling partial zero calorie foods, for instance.

I got a really similar response from Ferrari when I posted photos of last weekend's bonfire.

While it would be easy to make snap judgements based solely on these renderings, I'm going to take the more responsible approach and reserve coming to a final verdict on the design until after I have seen it in dragon trim, as well.

How about Deadhorse to Ushuaia? Unlike this Mongolia Rally there are roads the whole way (minus this little guerrilla-filled gap of untamed rainforest between Panama and Columbia that's been described as the most dangerous place on earth).

I just got my bike license a few weeks ago and have no experience and I think if I'm lucky I can barely afford to do this. But my passport is up to date. Excuse me, I have to make some phone calls.

Clearly, this is the best solution to a flat tire.

The sound effects killed me. I haven't heard a human body make that kind of splat noise since the bad video games in the 90s.

I've been saying something similar for years, but instead of an additional electric motor I wanted to use power directly from the engine itself. A belt-driven turbo would suffer no lag, and while there may be a slight decrease in power I think the tradeoff would be worth it.

Chargers and whatever else plugs into cigarette lighters/auxiliary ports. They're a great idea in theory, but in practice people always want to devote attention to whatever's charging instead of driving their car.

Good luck with that, I'm still waiting for my Obama Can't Gymkhana bumper stickers.

Now playing

I didn't even think to post a GTA video for this, but having seen that one I want you all to have the opportunity to look at this video and enjoy it as I did.

E28 hoonage is my favorite kind of hoonage.

The Aston Martin Bulldog, instead of having pop up headlights, has a bank of fixed headlights in the middle of the car, and lowers the hood (essentially) to reveal them. Sweet.

All these track day specials are adorable and all, but they're not quite a Suzuki Super Carry with a turbo 1300cc hayabusa engine, are they?

This. Sellers will lie or be wrong about any number of things, and service history is your best shot at finding out about what you can't see. Most other things buyers should be able to find on their own.
