The best part of the case was that it revealed exactly how the bribery played out, which was not unlike a half-decent English crime movie. Ecclestone and Gribkowsky first started their talks in a motorhome at the 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix and went on at a restaurant called 'The Rib Room.' Here's a quote from Bribkowsky…

Right, and my extension of the joke is that BMW will charge a lot more money for it even though it's the same thing :)

Your math is faulty — clearly their pricing convention dictates that for every integer increment in number and added word in the name, the price needs to increase by $2,200. Thus we arrive at the following:

Cool! I feel like you guys (not just you, but various Jalopnik writers) have been missing that point lately and perhaps giving the cars (ELR and Volt) more credit than they're due. And I think that maybe it's worth writing a story about, given the recent spotlight on the ELR. I suppose if I found some free time, I…

Like the Volt — and probably more so here, considering the $75,000 price tag before the $7,500 tax credit — the ELR is never going to be a volume-seller. It's a premium electric car that's only going to appeal to a small segment of buyers, so it does make sense that some Cadillac dealers will decide it's not up their…

I don't think he said that — he only said that Senna always raced to come in first and to be the fastest he could, while Prost raced to win championships.

"In the long run I believe Simona de Silvestro will be far more revolutionary than Dania Patrick."

Still starring this one even though I feel the spirit of the question needs productions cars as answers.

1st-gen IS350. Only came with auto, but even with the open diff it would gladly spin both tires well into second gear while power braking (or brake stand, if you prefer). This was before brake override. The tires produce so so so so much smoke. Here's the first quick example I could find. Not bad for the usual stigma…

my sides

I think it depends heavily on your location. I had mostly good luck until this winter, and have been having problem after problem since. I understand and accept weather-related issues, and know that they're difficult to fix. All I ask is that instead of blaming the customer, they admit the issues that they're having.

I actually burst out laughing when the photographer didn't raise the camera until immediately after the crash — stopped laughing when I saw the car, wow!

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the snow banks and the tyranny of plow men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the snow piles, for he is truly his wife's keeper and the finder of lost vehicles. And I will strike…

PLOW!??!

And New York.

SAY PLOW AGAIN

Right, but the price of gas will still increase for less-efficient trucks, and hurt them more. If the price of gas goes up, it gives the more-efficient trucks an even bigger benefit than they'd have if gas prices stayed the same.

I think the idea is that the fuel cost per mile goes down, negating (or better) the cost of the trucks over their life. I haven't looked at the numbers but you need to factor in fuel savings.

Congratulations, and thank you for showing the world that you don't need to wear pants to be successful!!!

I get at least 21mpg on road trips driving approx. 85mph the whole time. Not great, but not abysmal for a 3L.
