And Top Gear wasn’t the biggest show on the BBC at that point. It was before it was suspended, right? In any case, it was much, much smaller back then.

What irks me is the length of the lap. There’s so much more time on the Nordschleife for mistakes (that add time to or subtract time from a lap) than on a track like Circuit de Catalunya that the variability between the times laid down by one driver in one car has to astronomical. They really should publish a margin…

How old is he?

Hey! This ain’t new! Spinelli and friends did this way on back. Ceptin that was fer them USED cars.

One of the first times I’ve ever actually laughed out loud at an internet article was when I found out they’re using a goddam house air conditioning unit for this thing. Since it’s road-legal, it can’t be the size of a house, and since it’s so much smaller than a house it’s got to be the coldest place on wheels.

I like that your defense is not that Hardibro posted those, but that your article does not deny hypocrisy.

Haha :)

I am very confused. I was talking about how the title of the article implies that cars are selling stories - admittedly, a much more interesting article. I’m not sure why you’re waxing poetic about the etymology of aluminum.

Where did that come from?

That would be a marked improvement. I love me some $4k Accord. I’m not kidding.

More airplanes should have pretty liveries.

BOW DOWN TO EARLY 1990s PONTIAC. Yes, I debated for a bit what early 1990s Pontiac product we’d use, given how crappy most of them were. For sheer audaciousness of name I’ve picked the Pontiac LeMans. What the LeMans has in common with the famous European race is unclear, especially in the early 1990s version. Perhaps…

That’s a great game. My brother and I played through that one over a spring break. Good times. I think that was the last new game I played all the way through and really enjoyed. Now I’m thinking about Star Wars Battlefront. Now I’m looking for my GOTY copy.

Half-Life 3 confirmed.

1984 was the year that Tyrrell (Bellof’s team) was disqualified from all races and had all their points stripped away because they ran the car underweight all race before adding lead balls to the water tank to bring it up to the minimum weight at the end of the race. That said, Bellof was pretty extraordinary, despite…

Pets and other animals?

But I really DO hate (that group of people)!!!!!!!!! THEY GET ME PIISSSEED.

YOU IDIOT or something. I’m PIISSED.
