Mr. Diesel had an idea: Why not assign numerical values to every move—head butt, roundhouse kick, body slam—so he could calculate a total and determine if the two men were getting pummeled evenly?

Go on...

I think if you need jazz handy dancers you have already lost. The C8 was about the car, and now Saleen has a shady Chinese backer,something isn't right.

Honestly, I wish I hadn’t read this.

Why do I feel like you were describing a dream you had and not an actual car launch?

It’s still newer than the Nissan Z. Might as well just put it back on the market. 

I honestly love Michael Collins, he’s been a hero of mine for years. I’m fascinated by the bravery it took to be the only human on the dark side of the moon, with no contact from anyone. While up there, he actually had to tell himself “ok, if things go wrong on the surface, I definitely won’t kill myself, though…

You have to question if that person’s reaction time was good enough to drive. Mistaking the gas for the brake, sure, I get it. Continuing to press the “brake” for 5 seconds before taking your foot off it and trying something else. That person’s reaction time and ability to make fast decisions is too slow to drive on…

Oooh fun fact the wheels get built behind my University in Geelong, Australia

Looks like a Camaro backed into a Pepboys.

Counterpoint: they rule and are one of the most innovative car companies in existence today.

Personally, I like that they’re not faking Russian accents, since it usually comes across as cartoonist. I suppose Russian actors would have been a good idea, but, then you have to find enough that can speak English well enough to really pull off all the parts.

I’ve never been more interested in Nissan. And it’s gone.

Jalopnik commenters: “If automakers would just offer more manuals, they’d see that people are willing to buy these cars!”

Very cool!! That’s a lot of custom fab for a $3k mini they probably bought off of eBay though.  They will never get that money back.  Oh well I hope they had fun with it before they listed it for sale.

This looks like it could be good for the apocalypse fleet. It’s not going to be as capable as a full-size vehicle to deal with zombies, aliens, nuclear wastelands, etc. but it would be able to get to places a full size vehicle wouldn’t be able to get. My mind is going weird places today. I’m glad it’s Friday. 

Ok, Mazda. I want you to hear me out on this...

Be careful what you wish for...
