She's all of 10 miles from downtown Pittsburgh. Sorry, you can't pin this one on us out here in the boonies.

A relative of mine has their 2015 Turbo S on a container ship off San Diego right now, glad they sorted that ILWU strike PMA lockout.

BFD. I used to drive 5 hours to race. Street racing is for amoral assholes.

Drag strips are closing left and right. NHRA safety requirements are so stringent that if you spent 10k in making it fast you have to spend 15k in safety gear you'll never use.

That was regulatory interference, as i understand it. The DOT wouldn't let them use the green juice because it wasn't DOT brake fluid. That's a long way from not working.

My mk1 focus has a way to set the instrument cluster to diagnostic mode, with the odo displaying the OBDII codes. Why don't all cars have this?

Yeah, it was a total failure. It worked so badly that Citroen used it from 1954 to 2008. It worked so badly that the 1st 4 wheel implementation was in production for 20 years. It worked so badly that the British Challenger main battle tank uses it. It worked so badly that it was licensed by Rolls Royce, Maserati,…

Creating the ICC was making more government. It was a the answer to the problem of railroad safety failures and rate abuses. Creating the FDA was making more government. It was the answer to finding fingers in your sausage and dog crap in your aspirin. Creating the EPA was making more government. It was the answer to…

You might want to learn some damn history before you start throwing around absolutes like NEVER. Sometimes more government IS the answer. Sometimes not.

More government is never the answer, more transparency, and more free-market liberty is the answer. Give the customers the information, and let them choose to use it as they wish.

Pffft. Brakes are for losers. They only slow you down.

ILWU workers have a fatality rate of 17.3 deaths per 100,000 employees, compared to. 16.6 deaths for firefighters and 14.9 deaths for police officers.That's just while on the job. It doesn't account for the long term damage of heavy manual work or driving a diesel inside a poorly ventilated ship all night for years.…

Do you have any idea of the lifespan of a ILWU worker? They earn every penny doing a dangerous and dirty job.

Yeah, those greedy workers need to shut up and let America win this race to the bottom!

I remember my all too short visit to Catalonia very fondly. Considering that I have to go shovel a foot of fresh snow, no, I don't think you should be complaining.

You are a lucky so and so, aren't you?

Bikes are started at 10 sec. intervals for the Tourist Trophy race. That many bikes all at once on such a narrow track would be too dangerous even for the TT. There is lots of passing and back and forth on multiple 37 mile laps. You can say "oh, but that's not a race, then,' but you'll be the only one.

They started racing on the IOM in 1904. They're still at it. Nowadays they use more or less the same course they started using in 1911. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snaefell_… The big race is the IOM TT race for motorcycles.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_M…

Sorry, but your imagination is crap. There is nothing better than than IOM. It is, and always will be, the greatest street circuit in the world.

I might have gone NP, but over lowered cars for me are the sure sign of an idiot owner. Combine that with the 'somebody else's project' rule and it's CP to me.
