Hey, a V8 R8?

that's pretty easy, as the gallardo will eventually end up in flames anyway, in good Italian tradition, so it's only a question of which German do I want to track. As i like my track car NA, and my street car less flashy, than an out and out supercar, its:

I have in deed driven my MR 2 during a storm so powerful that visibility was zero, that branches of trees flew around and and that dirt was washed onto the roads i drove on - in the night as well.

As a car journo myself i would sincerely disagree.

Look, in journalism, you cannot be seen as taking sides, even if you are not, because then your credibility is lost. Of course if she even did some PR embedded in journalistic pieces, it gets worse, but simply openly accepting money makes the reader question your view, and therefore nullify your work as journo.

Umm, the Fiat engine you talk about in 2nd gear (TwinAir is the name btw) is a gas engine, not diesel. It's VW who were always very strong on very small diesels, they do already have a 3cylinder, 1.2TDI for instance.

there are sims that aren't open to the general public, like McLarens', and such, and then there are the simulators that simulate IRL situations, like the drunk driving and distracted driving simulations. These are all highly tuned, and cost dear, and therefore supposed to be accurate - but let's just leave those…

There can be only one winner, and you're it.

I don't like the Conti at all, while having my very own track car would speed up my driving learning curve in a mean way, so yeah, i take the speed 8.

I think i tried to say as much here: "otherwise its windows down in slow traffic, and fresh air ventilation on highways and motorways." i didn't say roll up true. Anyhow, yes, it is exactly as you say.

Already there are a heap of good ideas, but you want a top ten, so here's the three that have the biggest effect, and therefore should be on the podium:

I would say that Ford built the Fiesta, the Focus and the Mondeo/Fusion to pass both sets of regulations. Also, there are a lot of other cars present on both markets with little more than engine differences, if at all that - Mazda 6, Opel Insignia / Buick Regal or the euro Accord being an Accura in the states all…

Netural, and I will be TL, but i just had a though among these lines yesterday.

Neutral

Oh no effin way. My mornings would be impossible with that.

For realz! +1

As i have sounded off in Kinja numerous times GM is in an extremely precarious situation with Opel. Opel/Vauhxal is in trouble, because they are among the very few automakers left that have a -mostly- independent model range but are only present on one economic region - in this case Europe. Fiat was mostly like this,…

I never had a dashcam, but afaik they work like this: they loop record like 2 minutes, but either of two things needs to happen for it to not overwrite the last 2mins: a crash that triggers the rec or the owner pressing the right button. So dashcams are like car mechanics: the latter only meets cars that don't work,…

i... don't see the 8 series.

I would say maybe this is OK. After all the street wasn't named in honour of HFII, it was named that way to indicate it leading to a Ford site and i presume building and upkeep being funded by FoMoCo. It's not like they want to change Lincoln ave. to Bismark lane.
