Is it just me or did anybody else initially read this as “How to turn your own Civic into a Type R”?

“You’re a rabbit now; you’re a kid now”

Only a blithering idiot would think he can successfully run a drag racing business where the I-5 crosses the 605.

The Aussie is running on stock rubber I suspect, not drag radials like in your video. Plus manual vs automatic.

Got ticketed for doing 45 in a 45. The road was nigh empty except for him about 200 feet back. Apparently he felt that conditions were unsafe to drive at that speed (the road was slightly damp but drying after an overnight rain, no standing puddles).

The Ford Probe had several generations of the 3 spoke wheel.

I would have taped the part that would have been covered by the plate frame and plate anyway, where surface damage of the clear coat isn’t going to make one lick of difference anyway. And besides, the front is going to get covered in nicks and digs more than any other part of the car, if the plate was going to be…

Am I reading this correctly, that he was ticketed for not having his front license plate on the vehicle?

Everything that everyone else said. But also take into account stereoscopic vision. A single camera lens will easily pick up the halo, like if you were looking at it with one eye closed. But with two eyes, your brain will mostly minimize its effect.

Every era comes with a trade-off or cost. The only reason this Time period is one of the best is because it’s easier than ever to find what you want, if it’s available at a reasonable price. Yes, modern crumple zones are great but they come at a cost of poor visibility and added weight. So compensate with a rear view…

Most roads in the major metropolitan areas and suburbs in SoCal are called “the X freeway” and not “Interstate X” because they’re not marked as Interstates.

So much this. A tray full of burders, cheese, and fried foods just isn’t as good when it cools down. Where are the overhead stadium heat lamp lights??

Lawyer here - So actually I’m not really a lawyer, but I can occasionally lie like one. Anyway, I’ve got nothing.

It lacks even a basic plot, at least at this point. It’s just random shenanigans which range from utter crap to pretty good and in a sense perfect for people who can’t be bothered to have their attention held for longer than 5 seconds for most bits.

The 2010-2014 look has been my favorite since the final form of the fox body GT model of the early 90's.

I’ll tell you the one thing that’s worth being snobbish about... Plain dark chocolate.

The ACR is near the pinnacle of what you can do with the “old school” way of a manual with no rev matching and simple fixed aero (I should probably add “in a fully street/safety/50 state compliant vehicle” in case someone tries to pull an Ariel Atom or some-such on me...). The fact that the Viper can put down the…

The value of the land is what put the nail in the coffin on drag strips in California. Quite sad.

Many years back I caught myself mid-sneeze. Only I didn’t sneeze, instead I found myself in the middle of a loud “AAAAAAAAAAaaaaahhhh........” with my mouth wide open like a moron. And realized just how completely IDIOTIC and OBNOXIOUS it sounded. I couldn’t believe how absolutely stupid it sounded and the only reason…

I’ll keep my 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 a little longer. 158k miles and counting.
