That was a PIT maneuver 

The blurry gif made it look like 24 was back in DuPont colors *great Jeff Gordon’s ghost!*

“Rubbing is racing”

So, Nascar has devolved into “everybody chase everybody until the last lap and then it’s a demo derby and the last guy driving wins”  No wonder Nascar is dying.  The cars are identical, they only have a few token “ turn the other way” tracks and races are like watching traffic.  Only F1 is worse.   Contact to improve…

Arcane points of the civil law aside (it seems like the dealer will ultimately be paying), why is the 19 year old, who is driving without a license, not criminally negligent for his actions?

gotta say man this is all pretty rad - you did a lot of fun with not a ton of cash -a well loved car for sure

Oh I threw soooo much stupid stuff at my Neon. Look at this interior. LOOK AT IT:

Haha yeah - those non-halogen ones used an 1156 stop lamp bulb. Threw practically zero light. My car was blue and I replaced the lenses with blue plexi which I thought was pretty cool - until I got pulled over and politely told by an officer that red and blue front lights were not allowed.

My close friend, who was in his early 20's at the time, put a $2000 stereo system with a subwoofer in a company car. Yes, he returned the car with the system still installed.

“It’s been a great 2 weeks, but I’ve taken a new role as CEO of zombie Drivetribe.”

I mean, 800 horsepower can *absolutely* make merging into traffic unsafe haha

The Toyota Supra just strikes me as wildly overrated when you check the specs:

Challenger Hellcat. 807hp is just not enough in this day and age, you just can’t safely merge onto a freeway with it!

Replaceable head units. Can’t wait to find out what it costs to replace one of these integrated iPads like screens attached to your dash that has every function routed through it.

Forget corner vent windows, while it’s fun to have 70 mph air blasting in your face, those aren’t coming back. But how about actual full-size windows? You know, the kind where we can comfortably drive with our elbow on top of the door while still having our left hand at the 9 o’clock position on the wheel. Large…

A spare tire standard. That goop stuff is the standard in most cars now and you then have to buy a spare tire kit. There’s generally space for both, but they are only doing that to cut a little bit of weight and cost. Today’s public announcement, be sure to check your rental for a real spare too, as they too will skip…

I have a couple of things that immediately came to mind.

I think you’re assuming that all wasted energy goes into the cooling system. On average only < 28% will end up in cooling media. The vast majority leaves the engine in the form of hot exhaust gas. Anytime you get down to an engine that displacement you’re going to have trouble producing enough hot coolant for the…

A Brabus tuned Smart is the only car I’ve ever seen come perilously close to rolling in an autocross event. It was way up on 2 wheels and only some ‘smart’ driving saved it.

I’m one of the few Americans who has also driven a fortwo diesel in the US. In my old job I got to take media fleet vehicles home on a regular basis. In ‘08 we had a fortwo diesel provided to us by Bosch. In truth I don’t remember too much about it all these years later. The biggest thing that sticks out in my mind is…
