I always think of the powerless passenger who dies in this type of accident, like Paul Walker (and countless non-celebrities). They had no agency over the dumb and fatal decision the driver made, unless they happened to be egging the driver on, which even so doesn’t deprive them of all of my sympathy. The bigger issue…

Lawrence: I think the word you were looking for was “oxymoron,” not “conundrum,” for future reference. Or, “contradiction in terms.” Also, the word meaning roughly muscular is spelled “burly” not “burley.” On the FX, it was interesting and looks like an athlete compared to abominations like the X6. My only gripe with…

Don’t forget the work from anywhere folks taking up all the seats with outlets and at restaurants when you are looking to charge up or eat with 20 minutes before your connecting flight. 

I have one thing to say to this: Parcour!

Eligibility for the MM is not limited to “only” those cars that actually participated, but those cars do get a “guaranteed” spot. Otherwise you need something of which a “model” of it ran in the original race, but there’s apparently a lot more to it than that. Either way it seems like a large amount of money and time…

I can’t think of anything personally, but I do know a guy. Well a few guys / women. Okay, NASA.

You ask this question on July 20? Here you go.  Standing above the rest for about 50 years. 

STOP CALLING IT A CAR! It’s a CUV or an SUV or something, but it’s too freaking crossover like and tall to be called a “car.” I guess Chevy bombarded you and the Autopian guys with a Here’s the CAR, do you like our new CAR, get in the CAR and drive the CAR around some, subliminal messaging so the word CAR appears…

You / the crowd missed some of the best: The Fiat 850 taillights were used on the mighty Lamborghini Miura, another Fiat model donated taillights for the Ferrari 275 GTB, and the original Ford GT40 had taillights from a Corvair (the engineers wanted lightness) of all things.

I don’t care much about the Infiniti FX or why it failed, but JayEmm does good videos and I recommend his channel. He buys things like Lotus Evoras and Ferrari 550s, a true car guy, notes things about them that you want to know, and he’s pretty funny at times.

Great read. I especially liked how many of your assumptions turned out to be wrong, as mine would have been. What I really can’t get my head around is how your knee could have been hitting the ground when you’re so far up on the bike, it had to be practically horizontal. Wow. 

Like say--John Force?

Oh c’mon, the Rainbow is awesome, it would have fit right in as Straker’s next car in the UFO tv series. The blue is nice but it was really eye-catching in white on the cover of Road & Track (I think they repainted it blue), also it looks really good from the front. And it has a cool targa top that flips up and stores…

I think it’s either the F50 or the 360, with its blandly styled front end and its wide headlights, from the A pillar back it’s fine but compared to the F355, or pretty much any car Ferrari made besides the F50, the 360 is a butterface.

I was just going to assume it was because Rikk Wilde had just dropped the mic back in 2014 awarding a Chevy Colorado to Madison Bumgarner. Who, apart from having the least impressed reaction since McKayla Maroney, also gave it away, to his dad IIRC. His dad probably loved all of the technology & stuff. 

With luck it would look something like this /her. I for one would welcome our new Albalords.

What about bicycle tire dust? There are 100 million bicycles in the U.S. No one’s asking that question. Well except for me. Plus if there were no bicycles I’d be braking less in my car. Win-win. 

Back when bulldozers were so powerful they could turn Challengers into Camaros. You know, the perspective with the lines there goes off to meet at a point in the distance, so far away it almost vanishes. 

My GOD the first gen Mirai was hideous! I also question why nobody put the Yaris or Versa on here, but I guess they are at least basic transportation (even if they look ugly and unsafe to my eyes). That Mirai though—no excuse for that, it wasn’t the bottom rung at Toyota. Its only rival for ugliest (I think), the 2019…
