Rule #1: Do not drive like an asshat in a car you can't afford to walk away from.

... and there's never been a vehicle meant for high-speed desert travel — the most destructive form of auto racing — with an automaker's warranty.

Yes, but fortunately (or unfortunately!) most consumers aren't riding enough that it causes too many problem. By the time you're riding hundreds or thousands of miles per year, you've probably figured out that your saddle sucks.

I ride on a Brooks. Both the saddle and my penis seem to work OK.

Statistically, I would expect some cases of parents having two babies die of SIDS while co-sleeping, even if co-sleeping were no less safe than crib sleeping. Is there any reason to believe these people weren't just tragically unlucky?

There are no boring cars, only boring drivers. My Accord ('05 4-cyl, 5-speed) is fantastic. I'm confident enough in my automotive enthusiast credentials to be comfortable saying it's by far the best car I've owned.

Luxury SUVs can kick ass. The Land Cruiser makes still makes a decent case for itself. And, of course, this.

I just finished parting out a car. Most of the parts got bought by racers. Maybe half of them came to get those parts minivans. I was jealous.

There are people for whom this is just the equivalent of the $8 cup of coffee. When you've got tens of millions of dollars in the bank you're allowed to spend some of it frivolously. I can't say I wouldn't spend $200K on something equally stupid in this dude's situation ($200K perfect Porsche 928 maybe?).

All those questions are great, but it all boils down to one thing: is it less likely to kill people than people are? The details don't really matter. In the case of airlines, I suspect autopilot saves a lot more lives than it harms. Given the number of vehicles on the road, and the tens of thousands of deaths we…

The best part is that a properly designed roundabout is designed with a tricky off-camber curbe to slow people down. In a RWD car you can exit them sideways with just a hint of throttle. It's beautiful.

A racing line is going to let you take that flat out. Fine by me.

You could slam your fist into the ground if you don't know how to operate a lug wrench.

I feel the same way about my 20 year old Miata without power steering, A/C or ABS when I think about Mustangs and all their useless creature comforts and nanny electronics. ;)

God, that's an ugly wheel.

Envy. I has it. I was about to post a snarky comment about how A) that isn't a real Porsche because real Porsche's are always menstruating and B) that place doesn't look like it ever gets used. Then I saw a can of Kroil in one of the photos and realized how terribly wrong I was.

Really? All I ever see are the taillights.

You lost me at "nothing all that dreadful about driving drunk".

I voted CP, but now that you've put this in the context of Mad Max, I think I need to change my vote.

Trade in your wife for a Giulietta or trade in her car for a Giulietta?
