Yes, it’s much easier to be a non-white NASCAR driver now; ask any of them!

“like you’ve never seen it before”- you mean because the lights appear to be functioning? I’m guessing photoshop.

I have lived where it snows most of my life, and everyone complains about driving in it. But here’s the thing: Driving in the snow is just about the most fun you can have in a car! The only reason it sucks is all the other drivers-even the Nurburgring in a Rothmans Porsche would suck if you were surrounded by priuses…

Searches for picture of bear/”how about no” meme. Stops, figuring almost every other comment will feature this. CP

I grew up near the former Great Lakes Naval Air Station outside of Chicago in the 60s. Sonic booms were a fairly regular thing, and my mom still has a never-repaired window she claims happened one day..

I live in Minnesota, and see people doing this. Yes, the wipers don’t get frozen to the windshield, but so what? If you put them up, there is still a layer of ice on the windshield- the wipers can then, um, glide over the ice? I miss my Subaru, which had the heated-glass thing.

your girlfriend (speaking hypothetically here; guessing you’re not exactly “in a relationship”) is not more or less “valuable” owing to your (again, theoretical) sex life. She is not a commodity.

Saw the first video over the weekend, but the second, “spectator POV” vid is pretty terrifying. I have been to a few rallys and thought the idea (due to physics or something) was to watch from the INSIDE of the corner. Yikes.

Great story. Not sure if the conclusion (about the total # of crashes prevented) makes sense, since I suspect once every car had these they lost some of their “shock value”. Two thoughts:

Doug Demuro-is that you?

The most comically homely looking auto I’ve ever seen..

I live in Minnesota. I have owned a bunch of Subarus and none of them ever needed anything other than all-seasons. My current ride is a Jetta wagon and yes, it’s better (when turning or stopping) on winter tires, but still not as good on a hill as AWD, even with the all-seasons. This video is, IMHO, a tad misleading.

You bought a Honda Accord so you wouldn’t have to use your Jeeps in the snow? Do you also have a Civic to use on track days so you won’t wreck the Lotus?

I see quite a few of these, but I still think: “what question was this the answer to?”

What’s with all the hate? The guy has a crap-ton of $$ and knows his cars- how is this a bad thing? I was never a “Seinfeld” fan, but can’t reasonably fault him for buying, then selling these cars.

Yes! Make it so! Orange is the new brown!

Dear Doug,

Now if they could only update my dog so it would stop chewing the carpet

To those who point out that this thing will last “25 years” I ask: Does this make it a more attractive purchase? I mean 25 years in this thing?
