I believe the problem lies not in the quality of materials, but in the quantity. Look at the Honda picture you posted then at your Lancer. The Quality isn’t much different but the quantity used and the quantity of different lower quality materials trying to fit together with a high quantity of clips.

The term exists, it is call a “WAXXER”. People that have 12 layers of $100/oz boutique wax on their car, don’t drive them because that would put miles on it and hurt the resale value. Instead they brag about how pristine the car is and the low miles but never truly enjoy the car. The avoid cloudy days and wind because…

Are they wearing matching slickers?

And boom goes the dynamite.

There is quite a bit more to the story from what I can tell. It looks like there were some patent filings back in 2006 by Band Aid Trust for several names all including “LONGHORN” including “LONGHORN RACE TRACK”. They have since been abandoned. The company also owns an odd piece of land in south Austin where there is…

Corvette and 911 are all I can think of.

Is it the big hill on southbound I35 just south of Slaughter lane leaving Austin? Because this describes this hill. Even in light traffic it builds up here because for some unknown reason it is impossible to go 65 mph up a hill. You must go 45 mph up a hill.

So when The Rock flexed the hell out of that cast and said “Daddy’s got to go to work.” Was that a bicep item, gun wielding item, or EXPLOSION ITEM?! 

I was wondering how all these driver’s aids would affect a car on track. I was not aware they could be turned off, but it makes sense just like traction control and other stability aids. The thing I always dealt with in a car with an aggressive stability control was forgetting to turn it off before I started a…

Great article, I read this earliest today on Reporting Texas. It really is sad seeing these tracks die. I live about 5 minutes from the now closed Kyle Speedway and am in disbelief that is closed so suddenly. If you are in the Austin area-ish I would highly recommend a trip to Paige Texas and the Cotton Bowl, bring…

That road leads to COTA, these cars are heading back into Austin from the track. Probably for the Hot Road Power Tour that was at that time.

It’s like you are asking for proof via reverse psychology.

Every time I have gone into a dealership to finance a car I just ask the salesman to show me the report and see the score. I have yet have one turn me down. Since I would for some reason buy a car every few years it gave me a good idea of how I was doing with my credit.

They did, the transmission.

You’re just a human deer in the crosshairs headlights.

Sorry, my B. -W.

Lets take it the other way...

Handling wise, the Mazdaspeed Protege was easily on par with a Type-R. They handled fantasticly, speed wise they are close but the Honda will pull away.

I would love to see this. The pack of cars come tearing down Congress, takes a right on 6th Street then someone hits some hipster punk guy on his bicycle using the crosswalk.

It was totaled but it was restored by someone. Not sure if Monster pulled their head out of their ass and restored it or sold it to be restored. The last I saw it was around 2002-2003 as pretty much pictured above.
