This is the same argument people make about guns: “Guns are safe/fun, it’s just people who don’t understand them that are the problem”. Why should I (or my kids) have to know anything about canine behavior issues just to walk safely down the street? Not even a suggestion that dog owners are the issue here?

Can there be a special sub-category for all the shitty, stupid plates on every fucking tesla? I’ve lost track of all the predictable references to gas, electricity etc. etc.

Almost certainly the most expensive Eagle branded car for sale anywhere, and worth it: NP

Mine!

ahh- the honeymoon period! Still- one oil change in 100k is pretty awesome.

This is pretty great really. Toyota are taking a huge risk (they could easily not win overall) at great expense, and it benefits all of us who love endurance racing.

It is short-sighted. Without such a “halo” car, BMW assumes the attitude of GM in the 70s. That is: “people will keep buying them, because that’s what they did last year”. Even GM sells a semi-super Corvette. If they don’t do another M-1, maybe they could make a 3-series that didn’t cost a fucking fortune to maintain…

There are lawn signs near me proclaiming “We believe science is real.” This neatly sums up the current state of science-ness in the US. “Science” has become a surrogate belief system rather than a mode of inquiry. When scientists went over to the dark side and assigned political views to their findings, they started…

“Here are cars you can’t get” is pretty much the theme of every auto show.

I’m truly concerned that 170k is too much milage for people to consider. Honest question: How long do today’s Euro-luxomobiles typically last? My DD is a 2007 Volvo S-60 (purchased Tavarish-style for a fraction of the MSRP) and my dealer seams surprised that I still own it and want to keep it running.

Unless you live in Minnesota like me. Then it’s “Zipper Merge”! http://www.dot.state.mn.us/zippermerge/ No one knows this is a rule and it will never be followed, but you did say “wish”.

Me too- although what I really want is for Kia to make something like it that I could reasonably afford (and, c’mon- it already looks a bit Kia-ish.

My first ever ever car that I really owned and wasn’t a hand-me-down was an ‘83 GTI. In this color. Needless to say I have a soft spot for it. That said, this example looks to be more trouble than it’s worth, even for this price, which is exactly half what I paid for mine (used, in 1986). CP.

I wish F1 rules were as simple as NASCAR http://www.foxnews.com/auto/2017/08/03/nascar-makes-startfinish-line-new-overtime-race-marker.html

You’re right. F1 is not racing. Now go back to watching your NASCAR like a good boy.

not quite-here is amore accurate pie

No true NASCAR fan would want to watch a race in a state where Kilary won the vote. I mean, they make wine in Sonoma for pete’s sake- NASCAR=beer, not chardonnay, my friend. So slap on some snow tires and replace those stupid “headlight” stickers with high beams and let’s race in America.

If only there was a real Road course in America we wouldn’t need these pretend ones...

What kind of nut? Our kind of nut!
