I keep hoping that there’s been some previously secret skunkworks project which is going to emerge at the last minute and make the F-35 the bad joke that everybody’s relieved didn’t make it to service. That doesn’t appear to be happening.

that escalated rather quickly didn’t it

Pretty much the virgin stripper of car making. You can see them, might even touch them, a few are lucky enough to ride them, but they don’t care about you and you will never have one of your own.

Jeep does a great job of making highly desirable concepts, never building them, then disappointing us with mediocre build quality and things like the Patriot. Bring me the FC concept and I'll be eternally indebted.

He sure didn’t straighten out very much just before he hit....

Or from Ace Hardware, a well known supplier of wheelbarrow parts.

Nah, you’ll be a smudge on the pavement long before it gets warmed up.

It is not that strange, gears are preferably chosen with odd tooth numbers that are not multiples of one another, so that each tooth on one gear will work against each tooth of another. Like 41/11 teeth which gives 3.73:1. Or 30/11 which gives 2.73:1.

If you choose even numbers such as 30/10 (for a 3:1 gearing) you can…

Emirates has Rachel from Friends, they don’t need Ken Block.

I’d love that - basically a modern day spiritual successor to one of my all-time favorites.

Not really. You arent free to make terroristic threats and plot murder and destruction in the US.

I... I don’t think ISIS is targeting goat hearders...

What an unbelievably boring looking car. Plus I thought the name was a joke or something.

Tyler instead of being a miserable git and telling Jerry not to post pics, how about doing a weekly regular pic post blog, kinda like how i09 has Friday GIFs

hipsters dont drive hondas - it’s too mainstream

Dropping in late to say I did the same thing. Added a cheap Neu-F short shift adapter and round Cravenspeed knob. Now the shift action is wonderful. I’m running an ECU tune, a cold-air intake and beefed up 28mm rear torsion bar, but that short shift kit may be my favorite mod. Every shift is crisp and direct now, a…

I spent years researching and driving cars I thought I would like enough to replace my R32 as a daily driver, and every time those cars I thought I would be happy to buy came up short. Fiesta ST was fine (I took it out solo and tossed it around plenty), but it wasn’t putting a big grin on my face. Mini Cooper S was…

And that’s why I would drive it over a German product as well....soul.

Wow, haters gonna hate! I’ve had my 2015 Abarth for a year now and this thing has been an absolute blast. I had a 2009 GTI and absolutely loved it, definitely the more composed vehicle, but I have to say this is the perfect vehicle for combating male menopause. It’s perfect for blasting around downtown Seattle and…
