Maybe you've never seen a real firearm before, but they can be pretty easily concealed. Just ask the kids from Columbine.In a situation where there is danger to the lives of those around you, the automatic assumption is that the suspect is armed. Period. It's better to be wrong and shoot a single, unarmed suspect than…

I was born and raised in LA, and your comment is, by far, one of the dumbest that I've read for quite some time.

I would agree that the use of deadly force here was not appropriate, but, then, hindsight is very much 20/20.

Really? Do you think it's that black-and-white?

There was no way for the cops to know that the man was mentally ill. You can question the shooting of the man based on procedural grounds (were there other alternatives, etc.), but you can't question the shooting on the grounds that the man was mentally ill, something that is not easily recognizable.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not an advocated of the LAPD.

If your balls hurt from looking at a car, well then, son, I have bad news for you: you won't be getting laid anytime soon.

The difference is that the T230 Celica is actually considered to be one of the best-handling FWD platforms ever made, right up there with the DC2 Integra.

I'm not sure about that front bumper, but I give due credit to the guy's passion and skill.

To be perfectly fair, it's not like Formula 1 is all that interesting, either. If you want interesting racing, LeMons, the IMSA Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (formerly known as the Koni Challenge Series), V8 Supercars, WSBK, and most forms of rallying are the best go-tos.

I simply have good eyesight and a lack of desire to blow sunshine up Ferrari/Pininfarina's ass merely because they are Ferrari/Pinifarina.

No.

Good luck with that. It's been a long time since Ferrari has made anything beautiful.

I believe this to be the more likely story - if you can't drift a 2500 pound car with 250+ horsepower, then neither the car nor the engine is the problem.

Oh, the Peanut Gallery has been cued. And it's been quite fun to watch them bitch and lose their minds.

That really was about the closest we ever got to it in real life... which is a shame, really. I just want to see some nutjob somewhere build one just for shits.

Nah, there was never a kit for it. I just built it myself out of the tens of thousands of LEGOs I already had.

Yes, but the Sea Duck is simply the most awesome plane in the history of ever. I remember building my own model of one out of LEGOs when I was a kid.

"The M division was borne of the M3 - that car was also the origin of the 'ultimate driving machine' slogan. If that's what they're marketing M division cars as what am I to believe is, in fact, the ultimate drivers car?"
