A couple of years ago, a retread did this to my car. It was snaking all over the interstate, and I couldn’t safely avoid all of it. Front bumper cover, fog light, headlight, hood, passenger fender, passenger door, all needed mending. Probably would have lost the radiator if it was head-on. The guy behind me lost his…
Oklahoma City, OK. Been here a year, first time I got out to C&C. Apparently a decent turnout. I was kind of rushed, still working on technique.
Yep, and you've just found the underlying problem with this entire survey. Nowhere did it ask whether anyone would rather spend money to drive a car than invest in more efficient public transportation, or god forbid, a walkable community.
How many V10-era races have you attended in person? Fewer than three? Are you a petulant 14 year old, and why do you even bother with F1? How does that have anything to do with the point about headlines?
I can only assume someone has done the math and found that (hits lost from people abstaining from auto coverage until they finish watching the race) < (hits gained from being among the first to publish F1 news)
"Unt you drive ze car out ze lot like zo, unt ze value in ze car drops like zo, unt you schprinkle you pants like dis!"
You may or may not be able to import this exact model, but you can absolutely buy Japanese minitrucks in the US. They may be restricted to surface roads and you may be limited to 25mph.
Though in fairness, if Corollas still came in a rear-drive coupe flavor, we wouldn't be bored with them.
With the grid declining precipitously, I'm less worried about a 2005 Monaco scenario, and more concerned about a 2005 USGP scenario. Having been at the latter race in person, I can tell you how unfun it was to watch three constructors participate in a "race" where the only passing was due to lapping.
Bernie may not…
1. - I'm not so sure Bernie is in it for the money. Of course Bernie wouldn't be meddling in F1 if there wasn't money, but the man is filthy rich already. If he was interested in making more money, he'd make necessary changes to increase the popularity of formula one and make it more accessible to fans, sponsors, and…
I actually live in a city of about 500k, and the family lot is in a midwestern town of 160K or so. I do notice the high number of people where I live who refuse to crack the windows when it's a gorgeous 73-78 degrees. I find it culturally shocking.
You can actually buy a Nissan Versa with crank windows and manual trans. Almost bought one off the family car lot, but just couldn't pull the trigger on a car without A/C when I live in the dry, hot southwest.
As mentioned elsewhere here, Kickstarter would be an excellent idea. A regular Jalop Hoonville USA. Rewards could be track time, access to dedicated garage, laps in some kind of exotic, naming rights to corners, etc. Hell, I'm 1,000 miles away from this place, but I could be convinced to buy a T-shirt, key ring, an…
Since there appears to be the market (or rather the capital and will to buy), I suppose the relevant question at this point is, given that you can't legally exceed Mach 0.95 over the US, how many of these jets actually will be run to their potential and break the speed of sound on trans-Atlantic or trans-Pacific…
Mazda2.
This. Cardboard on the underside, but staying clear of exhaust. Also, tape up some of those gaps. Not the front doors, of course, but at least the ones around the rear doors, trunk lid, and the hood.
Also looks like those rear door handles could use some tape, so that air goes around the handle and not into the dished…
I lust something fierce for a Hayabusa-powered Cappuccino. Damn it, is it 25 years yet? http://youtu.be/LNgfUxbyNUU
Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) actually is a pretty good time to buy a car. The dealership was in chaos, certain cars already were marked down, and salesepeople wanted to focus on people who wanted to drive off with a car that day. But if I were to do it over again, I would have started negotiations much…
Yhup. The state I just moved to doesn't abide by the post-9/11 federal mandate that drivers licenses must have things like holograms or UV ink. In fact, they let private companies print these things out. They very much look fake out of the printer, so I can't imagine the Chinese would have any trouble churning those…
You hit on the most important thing, I think, which is it isn't really about who gets to be seated first but who gets to store their belongings in the overhead vs cargo.
