But the question was about being fast in a straight line...

I've got a strange feeling that the Cobalt and Focus are going to be more than a little outclassed in this comparison. Same with the CTS-V wagon, and most likely the C6 ZR1 since it isn't too far over 200mph.

My 55 lb couch potato was about 25 lbs when she was rescued a couple years ago...so this one had the feels being felt...

I was close. Ish. I think. Sort of. I knew it wasn't Lincoln dammit!

Looks an awful lot like Plymouth headlights. not that there's anything wrong with Lincoln headlights

As I see it, there's a special place for the car owner that knows what he has, and uses it in a way that makes him (and let's face it, people like us) happy. It's great to see the pristine, over-restored example of a car as a piece of art that you wouldn't dream of driving. Same for the survivor, that's been…

Yeah, the leading picture on this doesn't match what it is. It's not a Waffle House, it's The Waffle House. Not as closely associated with the franchise it seems, menu doesn't quite match up, etc. I've been there a few times when visiting.

I'd thought about going up just for the sake of shooting photos - cruising part of the Blue Ridge instead.

Speaking of VIR, for local folks, Holiday Laps on the 8th are canceled as of this morning.

I'm from 2 hours south of Chicago, and just moved to the Southeast a month ago. 3 weeks before I moved I made the pilgrimage up to have my Last Supper, i.e. Giordano's aand a Green Line draft.

The thing is, when you get Carolla talking about racing, or the old Datsuns, or see him on track, all of the schtick (sp) goes away. He's a fan/enthusiast/dare I say Jalop that through whatever means got himself in a position to be dedicated to the hobby, and is very intent on preserving an interesting type of car. …

Hmph. I was at VIR. Why did I not see this....and why didn't I know to go all super stalker and super fanboy to find Okulski. Shucks.

The government agency I work for had an unmarked, forest green one, with civilian plates. Seems our detective thought he needed something undercover...he was a moron. However, I did get to borrow it a few times. It's really hard not to flick the switches for the hideaway strobes...

I dig Snoopy. I dig museums. Yep, I'd pay for it if I were there.

Mr. Quarterlifecrisis' dad has an original 68 Hemi Charger that's been collecting dust under blankets (until I bought him a car cover for Xmas one year) since the late 80s. bought the car in 1972 and bracket raced/daily drove it for a long time. Now, it's still all original...original door dings, original stress…

I'd not heard of the series until I started preparing to go to VIR last weekend. I'd say they put on a good show. It was interesting to see how the pack split themselves, the true gentlemen drivers just out for a "good time" drifted to the back pretty quickly, while the racers (Justin Bell included) had a good…

I'm not a big poster of things on the book of face. But this video got posted. Life changing.

Word. I did body work on a replacement bed for my pickup. Once. Enough to say I've done it, and enough to appreciate why I don't want to do it more.

I'm NOT a Vettel fan, and NOT a Red Bull fan. But if this is really happening like this, huge props to them. Thisis what Formula 1 is about (in my opinion). Big money, big wins, and the winning team(s) driving technical innovation while still finding a way to stay within the formula.

I know how that goes. Unfortunately, I know about 2 other people in real life that actually know things about the sport, and will attend races (namely referring to sports car racing). Sadly, none of them live near me.

When this happened I was in the process of driving from the main viewing areas out around the track to Oak Tree...had no idea what happened, but noticed that there was a yellow and we could see some activity around the climbing esses...haven't had a chance to watch the telecast yet, so this explains A LOT.
