I want that. No, I need that.
That's... kind of fucking brilliant, actually. Talk about a hell of a way to improve efficiency, lower vehicle operation costs, support the construction of much-needed new infrastructure, and also potentially serve as an addition source of revenue for the USPS.
Be not so cynical. As a general rule, you will never get to take advantage of a NISMO Z's top speed on a public road. You, can, however, use its upgraded handling potential on the right road. So, if you can't use the speed, but you have the engine, why not at least be able to hear it better while carving your favorite…
"That sounds great, though strangely less great than 320 HP to all the wheels, but why would I even bring that up? "
I'm not sure that I agree with that. In fact, in some ways, I'd use the argument of pragmatism to draw almost the opposite conclusion.
Yeah, I was afraid of that as soon as it was brought to my attention that non-mods had that ability. That's going to launch a charming little discussion...
I still want one. I think it'd be a great little commuter that's good on gas, handles exceptionally well, and is easy to park around crowded DC streets. The only drawbacks are a peaky engine (remedied with at TRD supercharger) and the fact that if you get one, you want one with a manual rather than the lousy…
"An eye for an eye."
Oh Doge DeMuro.
That is, quite frankly, the greatest GIF I have ever seen.
Thank you for writing this. I am not and never have been in the military - they don't accept people with disabilities as a general rule. But when I read the book and watched the movie, it just didn't sit right with me. Rather than being reverential of a capable warrior who served his country, I was something closer to…
Is the 911 a grand tourer, though? Traditionally, it's been a sports car. While I agree that it can fill the grand touring role well, I still think the 911 falls into the sports car category, even with the advent of the Boxster/Cayman.
Granted, but it was never meant to be a track car. For that matter, neither was the Miata. The Z8 was a grand touring car, and the Miata is a sports car. It just so happens that the Miata could be adapted into a great track car. Not all sports cars can be, interestingly enough.
The DB9 was Callum's, as was the V8 Vantage; Callum simply moved to Jaguar right before the V8 Vantage was released, which put Fisker in the lead design role when the V8 Vantage was introduced by sheer coincidence. The beautiful pre-facelift Rapide, however, was all Fisker and all gorgeous.
Ian Callum certainly hits the top of that list for me - I've never quite gotten over the beautiful design language he created at Aston Martin. I'd also like to throw in Henrik Fisker (Until the Fisker Karma debacle, at least), Bill Mitchell, Chris Bangle (love or hate his designs, you talk about them and have an…
I really can't argue with that. I think they peaked with the Brooklands and the Azure. After that, it was all down hill.
That's...that's...just awful.
