5,000 horsepower will only get you so far when you're driving something with the drag coefficient of a mid-sized barn.

Kaiser Darrin is one of my favorites, and most people haven't even heard of one. Only 435 made, and a handful left. Only 1954, too.

There are no rules I'm aware of that make juggalism and rodeo clowning mutually exclusive. Of course, I'm not a participant in either culture, so I can't conclude anything with absolute certainty. I would guess there's a fair amount of overlapping between these two demographics, though.

I dunno. I can understand why people were upset, but I also think there was widespread sensationalism on both sides and overreactions both ways.

I think that the Mexican jokes that they made that one time went a little overboard. Usually it's just a one-liner, or a little jabby reference, but the Mexican jokes were pretty despicable.

I thought Buick, but I'm not sure.

This seems alright to me. This story would be received much differently if there was no relation between the law enforcement higher-up and a victim of a senseless crime. Just because they're related doesn't mean there's any nepotism at play. My guess is that for the next month or two, bikers will be stopped more often…

I believe you mean cue.

I have been instructed by the BBC to not tell people I'm not the Stig.

But it's so... '90s...

Saw this Grand National at the last car show parking lot I went to. Notable because of its plates.

It sounds like this guy would get along alright with Todd Akin.

Most of my new car comparisons do involve that GM touchstone last produced in 1987, the Chevrolet El Camino. Here's a picture.

How about this: we all pitch in and purchase the Packard building. We then all pitch in again and make it into a kickass Jalopnik HQ building. There will be a karting track, a movie theater (to watch races in, and for the Jalopnik Film Festival), and probably other things, too. Like a room for car shows or something.…

My money's on pig iron. Why? Because I like saying pig iron.

So in an Aston, if there's an Emotional Control Unit failure, does the engine warning light go on? Hyuk hyuk hyuk...

Hey, look! Streetclothes Stig is throwing around some disgusting American car (not all of them are, that's just as specific as I'm able to get), and a pro skydiver dressed as The Stig falls from the sky!

Just FYI, it's live now.

I've just gotten Oppo authorship, and am compiling my field report.

I saw this Ferrari Dino GT at the 2013 Kirkland Concours d'Elegance a couple weekends back. Owned by the original owner, who has put 35,000 miles on it! He initially bought it as part of his honeymoon. He and his wife drove around Europe for a year or so before settling down in Bellevue. He then used it as a daily…
