I believe Scion (Toyota) said they wanted people to customize their cars, but there probably was an underlying “Please only use our TRD factory aftermarket parts so we get more money” tone to it.

Maybe they should make the Civic actually small again. Then it wouldn’t have room for back doors, 2 door only, you know like proper Civics of old.

Now give me back the V6 (preferably with VTEC), and the 6 speed and you’ve got a proper sports sedan. Seriously, those 2 extra cylinders make it so the power delivery and engine sound much smoother and less loud.

I think everyone’s being a little harsh here. I mean, the guy definitely overstayed his welcome, doing a great job of driving the sport he once brought to the top straight into the ground, but he did bring the sport to be the pinnacle of Motorsports at one time. There’s plenty he did that helped F1 and he should be…

Nah, their chassis is great, Alonso even commended how good that aspect of the car is. It’s just the under-powered and horrifically unreliable Honda “power units.”

Do you think this beigemobile should be called anything other than a “unit”? not even a pretty red paint job can make this think interesting.

People spend stupid amounts when you include the word “charity”

Pedrosa’s a top 5 rider almost every race and won in Spain this year. WSBK and MotoAmerica I’ll give you, though I doubt Honda cares about those series as much as their not as prestigious as MotGP and don’t garner the same attention. As far as Super/Motocross, Roczen was kicking Dungey’s ass on a Factory Honda until…

HRC hasn’t made anything worth mentioning in the past 5 years

Seconding Mmmm... Fuel’s response, Oregon? There’s no way in hell that PIR (Portland International Raceway) could suit an F1 race. Pretending for a moment that it could finance the safety upgrades needed (it can’t, the track has been in constant financial decline since CART stopped coming), the layout wouldn’t work…

The reason there is no Acura variant is because the market for that would be so small that it wouldn’t be worth it to build. People who car about the performance luxury cars buy German and don’t care about the higher maintenance costs, because they have and don’t mind spending the money. Japanese luxury buyers care…

I think it should be taken into account that Austin was around Dale Sr. a a decent amount when he was racing. Hell, Austin was in Victory Lane when Sr. won the Daytona 500 in 1998. Austin may not be an Earnhardt, but he’s been around the family more than most. And if anyone would recognize what it means to have the 3…

Basically it’s slow as sin. I remember seeing one for the first time on the road a few years ago and didn’t know what it was at first. I thought it looked like a mildly hot-ish Lexus hatch, which intrigued me. I did a little research when I got home and realized the sad truth, it’s a hybrid and designed that way (from…

I don’t know what’s worse, the stupidity of the car owner or the newscasters seemingly unable to get how obvious this is. I guess the owner’s stupidity is worse as she works in the insurance industry so she’s seen stories like this. I read this article and went, “well no shit.” This is like HS level physics people,…

Fuck me. I guess I was the one who needs a reading comprehension course today.

the fact that one of MotoGP’s legends is out there riding motocross—fun, dirt-slingin’ motocross—in his downtime certainly makes me appreciate Rossi more.

You only read the first line of his comment didn’t you. Mr. or Ms. Was für ein Arschloch is happy that Bourdais is not in worse shape, like in a wheelchair or something. I know, reading and comprehension can be a bitch sometimes.

To me the only thing that could be consider fraud here could be the tax credits received from the State of Nevada, but even then, a lot of that blame goes on the State as they seemed to have failed to do their due diligence in vetting FF. Further, I don’t think they got past the point of no return where the State gave…
