That’s funny, I made a (sort of) similar transition from a US ‘02 EP3 Si to a ‘08 STI. However, if the US got the EP3-R and that was what I owned, I might’ve never made the transition to the STI. In fact, I might still own it now. But doing a full-on Type R conversion was just too much money to be worth it so I…

Here in the states we received the EP3 Civic Si with the neutered K20A3. It was a super reliable, shifting was a dream, space was plentiful and it was a blast to drive. I only wish it came with the higher revving K20A2.

After completing the stunt, Lampkin stated that he was, “wheelie tired.”

The US got the Swindon-made Si hatch, which obviously was milder than the R, but still a good time. I really liked the dash mounted shifter, and wish more companies did it (in an alternate reality where anyone bothers sending manual transmission cars to the US)

I still want a breadvan Civic...

Rolling coal never really made it to this side of the pond. If anyone was that much of an asshole, we’d probably send them to Australia.

So, I did a quick bit of math and here is what I came up with

Driving a Tuk Tuk would be a lot of fun unless you got it stuk stuk.

This story is a good story, and I like it. I am going to read it aloud to my infant daughter before she goes to bed tonight.

he could have been screwed

Yeah, I’d rudder not.

You could have been keeled!

Hate to break it to you, but Lewis did not make friends with this tiger “recently.” He has been a major donor to this organization for years and has known this tiger for a long time. He actually named the tiger after his girlfriend at the time. The tiger is a rescue that is basically domesticated and friendly and is…

When I stand for the anthem I start mentally checking off the various ballpark foods I want to eat that day.

We also have the freedom to kneel if we want to when we hear the anthem. Or turn our backs. Or dance a jig. Those people died for her freedom to do that too.

Heeeeeeeyyyyyy

Comes down to driver, the 675LT driver was clearly not on the throttle has hard as the Porsche driver, was also braking inefficiently. Look at the numbers:

Are you guys watching the same videos I am? This talk of one being faster than the other is nonsense, because neither driver is really getting everything out of their cars. The McLaren is lifting constantly to maintain a reasonable gap to the Porsche. Doesn’t look like they’re racing, just two drivers of OK skill…

Definitely faster immediately out of the corners...then the power of the McLaren comes on and it closed right up. Listening to the (terrible) audio, it was pretty clear that the macca had to lift on pretty much every straight.
