Reminder to self: when taping drunk bro's and women named Stacy, Tracy, Jen, Faith, Hannah, Jessica, Kaitlin, Amber, Tiffany, Brigette, Crystal, Lola, Madison, and Latisha don't swear, too much. It devalues my content.

Why am I thinking about the Pontiac Aztek when I view this? Oh, I know. It was a much better looking vehicle.

Thank the Lords of Kobol for the wizards who envisioned the MAD Doctrine. We need some more hard-core 1940's era thinkers. Might as well unfreeze a few of them. They're used to this Cold War stuff.

Many Romanians, including the one currently lying next to me, are quite afraid of Putin's intentions and with good reason, given recent developments. Though, I can't imagine him being brazen enough to attack a NATO country (e'hem, on purpose, at least). Many Romanian's actually ponder upon whether or not NATO would…

Depends on what punitive damages they were facing. That's the likely reason they would have settled: to avoid a $1b punitive (or other massive amount, which I'm sure they would have been found liable for). Judging by my experience in the Ford Explorer/Firestone fiasco (which included Ford Expeditions, BTW- which few…

Hey bro! Never raced for USPS. Others have won grand tours, aside from LA. Glad you've raced with USPS, Saturn, and LA Sheriffs in Cat1/2/Pro events. Can't think of anyone on Saturn who was earning more than $40k (and that income figure included keeping the bike at the end of the season, to then sell on eBay). Sorry…

Sorry my "bro." No name dropping. But, you can draw your own conclusions. As far as your pro-ams, I can only guess you're referring to CAT 1/2-Pro Events w/essentially unpaid "professional" riders. In large part, those are NOT UCI ranked events. Until you've competiviely raced with athletes who are earning high-6 and…

I'm ABSOLUTELY not saying the spectator had no responsibility here. To clarify, I'm saying there's always shared responsibility between the rider and the crowd to avoid one another. Riding that close to the barrier is always a risk. Agree it sucks, either way...

Sorry, "bro." I'm a might bit older than 23 and I've never raced on a continental team. However, I have raced for UCI registered teams, that were substantially higher than that level. My teammates, whom I supported and whom you would know by name, have won Tour de France titles. The only thing you've established is…

REALLY hope she's okay. With that said, and having been a professional road cyclist for almost 1 decade, the rider does have some responsibility here to ride clear of the fans and the barriers. Many high-profile crashes have been caused by fans and/or barriers.

This is awesome! Digital skywriting at its finest.

Of course he did...it's part of their routine and has been from the start. They're masters at their craft and that's why we love them so and why they're emulated worldwide. Clarkson and May and Hammond will be picked up by "Any Channel Worldwide" in a heartbeat. Each season's episode is watched by almost as many…

Not a great situation for the driver or the team. These things have a way of turning out poorly for all involved. Employment litigation is tricky, but at least it's typically more fair OUTSIDE the U.S. My critique: why wouldn't Van Der Garde ("VDG") say "okay," so I can't drive in '15. I'll try for '16 or '17 and…

Awesome report Shaun and excellent article Tyler. One of the best write-ups I've read. Period.

Too bad no one installed F-35B'esque avionics into the AV-8B. It's still a robust platform.

That's not reaction time. That's luck, pure and simple. This is why WE, as riders of all kinds, are paying absurd insurance premiums and face non-stop harassment by drivers and press. This isn't hooliganism, this is stupidity at its finest.

Last night, for all intents and purposes Torchinsky called Clarkson "a tool." Now you're offering him a position? Even if your offer is it's tongue-in-cheek, it reminds me of you guys endorsing street racing one day and decrying it the next. Why don't you dial Brian Williams, while you're at it. He seems to fit this…

You should all be ashamed. Clarkson could tie his dog to his wagon's bumper, forget, drive off, only to be pulled over by the fuzz somewhere in the southwest, and he'd still be the best auto-journalist, in world, and BY FAR. Kneel before him Torchinsky and repent, you dry Russian bastard!

But eventually you get the terrorist, who must've been driving a riding lawnmower in order to be caught by a Hummer, and the plutonium is recovered, and America is safe, at least until the sequel. And it was all because of your tires, which can add or remove air at the push of a button.
