Any volunteers?

There was a scandal here in the UK some years ago when it came out that credit card tips at certain restaurants were being used to top up staff salaries to the minimum wage. People were horrified at the idea that tips weren't 'additional' but being used as basic salary. I'm horrified that this is your normal.

Why not have both?

We all know this a conspiracy so the 3 hyper cars won't be tested against each other.

Now playing

This douchenozzle in the compensating truck. Excuse the format.

Being the trainer version, does this make the outriggers "training wheels"?

Found the high school kid who watches just enough Top Gear to "quote" it but not enough to know a goddamn thing.

That bmw could easily have been two cyclists riding abreast or a pedestrian crossing the road (100% legal and incredibly common in that section). Look at all the driveways they're passing at warp speed. I know of two families there and kids walk in that neighborhood. Yes, the BMW driver is a mindless f**k but the two

"Are you fucking stupid??"

BMW, deer, rusty washing machine, glycol slick, road wash out. Doesn't matter what's in the road, it's your responsibility to be prepared for it.

Wow. Simply wow. I'm a biker for as long as I've driven cars, and that's a hell of a long time. So. If you can't assure clear sight distance, then Slow. The. Fuck. Down. Now.

Pardon me, but FUCK THAT in the nicest way I can say it, because: It could have been my kid or yours crossing that road.

There are factors in a vehicle you can control and those you can only prepare for through appropriate means (such as not bombing a canyon run and then being pissed about other traffic). It doesn't matter why the other car was stopped or going slow, etc. go to a fucking track or at least make sure you have sight lines

The riders are the asshats. Sure, we can lay blame on the driver of the sedan, but it is a blind corner. If it turned out that there was, instead of the car, a large dog or a 3 year child wandering into the street, the riders would be 100% at fault if they hit the dog or child.

Look, I'm not about to hypocritically shout that the motorcycle and Atom should have been obeying the speed limit to a tenth of a MPH, because god knows I've had some spirited fun on back roads.

Having said that, I think it's COMPLETELY ridiculous to call the BMW driver an asshat in this situation. Consider that all we

If you are driving fast enough that you can't stop within the distance that you can see, then you are indeed driving unreasonably fast. Instead of a car parked inexplicably in the middle of the corner, it could be a pedestrian crossing the road, an animal in the road, debris, etc. These guys were riding much too

While I'm generally the first rider to shout, "get thee to a track day", I won't for their speed here. Nothing appears unreasonable about their speed, that looks like a typical "spirited Sunday" to me.

I'm inclined to say that the motorcyclist and Atom driver are far bigger morons for driving so quickly around blind turns than the BMW owner is for stopping their car in the middle of the road.

No, it runs much lower and softer now, that was just it's first outing, it was jacked up to try to minimise any damage from being a little too greedy on the throttle whilst he got used to the car, and everything got dialed in.

It spins all 4 wheels in the first 3 gears, how much low end grunt do you need?
Especially given it has a 6 speed paddle shift sequential, so it's not exactly struggling to get up the rpms ;)
