I love seeing the IMS road course used. Until last week, I lived an hour from the track...and because of that and some very liberal vacation time policies at work, this year I was at the track 8 days prior to raceday, and then was there for the 500. I love the 500, I love the history of the 500. But, I love road…

Valid point. Can't help but wonder how much it would be to gather the parts. I'm sure it's more complicated than it looks, but you could almost make a giant sized rear hatch.

This. This is the replacement for my C6.

If Sheetz counts...

Even though I've been "away from the truck scene" (and the fact that we all had full size trucks) I still make the trek out to the Carlisle All Truck Nationals every year to spend time with friends....minitruck(er)s are still out there. There are a lot of well done trucks, but something that I think has always cursed…

I've got to disagree...I've ALWAYS loved the 360. I'm not sure if its because its the only Ferrari I've driven, or because they were in production when I started to drive, but I've always always always loved it.

Cummins. No G.

That being said, if that isn't the steering column on the left of that picture...dear god its designed for the tiniest of tiny feet.

Generally, cabovers like that are designed with the gas and brake on one side of the steering column and the clutch on the other. Verdict: if the picture is right, plenty of space for one foot.

I was at IMS with garage access something like 8 times before the 500 this year (side note, through those trips I managed to get shots of every driver that attempted to make the field, and got 33/34 drivers to sign "their" shot, the exception being Marco Andretti, but his dad and grandpa made up for that), and the…

This is one of those matters that I have some somewhat relevant info on, albeit at a lower price point. I DD'd a Trailblazer SS for almost 2 years, and by the end of the 2 years it had a significant amount of bolt-ons, rendering it pretty damn quick, considering it was a 2.5 ton brick. It checked all of the Jalop…

Random fun fact: Dick Van Dyke is from my hometown, and where I happen to be typing this from, good old Danville, IL. He's come back to town a few times, most recently I got to work with him. Cool old dude

The first time I heard it was last Friday afternoon in practice - definitely an eye (ear?) opener. I'm not sure if it's the shape of the car playing tricks on me, or what, but coming down (up?) the front stretch, it just seemed to take off when climbing the hill.

I just saw this video for the first time about a month ago. I like it much more than I should.

I meant the newer one, not the G-body. That's definitely a Regal.

It's, what appears to be, a fifteen year old Park Avenue. (Even though the announcer says Regal...) I'm pretty sure that was a DD. And fairly certain that "push" and "understeer" and "oh fuck" are all terms that driver is intimately familiar with now. Just sayin.

I think in person it may have a little more character. They've tried to light the car in a way that accentuates a lot of the body lines, and it looks like there may be some more flare than the photos show at the rear. But, I don't disagree that the front is very dramatic, and the rear appears to fade away.

I'm honestly interested to see some actual real world (as in, from owners) fuel consumption numbers. My 05 is rated at 18/28, and I consistently see much better than 28 on the highway. I've tracked every tank of gas I've ran through the car, my lowest average was around 14, and that was after a track day and a 100…

Not that I ever comment on things, but I do read everyday...there are plenty of cool/jalop friendly places in the Indy area too for midwestern folks. Especially with "race month" coming up.

I suppose I fall into this whole mess too. Bought a gently used Trailblazer SS at 23, then bought a used C6 at 25. Neither happens to be Japanese...and I somehow had gainful enough employment to buy reasonably impractical toys.
