For the first time in my nearly 30 years on this planet, I am considering buying a GM product. A Buick, no less!

The obvious gag was to have the Delorean hit 88 early in the video, and then time travel to the finish line. Missed opportunity!

My grandmother actually hails from a near ghost-town on that stretch of road (Vera, TX). She’s laid to rest in the town cemetary. I am quite familiar with that stretch. It is terrible.

Oklahoma. All of it. I’m always there three hours longer than I feel like I should be. I know you already mentioned it briefly, but I need to say it again. The only redeeming factor about Oklahoma is Braum’s.

3rd Gear: My last rental was a 2016 Nissan Altima in dark grey. As was 3 other people at the hotel I was staying at. We all parked next to each other and had an interesting time remembering which car was ours. In all reality, it was very, very good on fuel economy, but other than that, it was just a car.

The Texas Triangle is missing Austin, BTW. They have more to do with fancy-pants things like this than...Laredo. Also, if they added El Paso (they shouldn’t), they could really blast top-speed from San Antonio. We alreasy have 80 MPH speed limits on I10 out there.

S-A-F-T-E-Y Saftey! Dance!

The one question where the answer is NOT Miata.

Also, Texas World Speedway in College Station. While it’s still visible...

Old Malibu Castle “Big Kart” track. On the North side of the I10-I410 interchange in NW San Antonio. The Malibu property to the south has been demolished, but big kart track remains. Hasn’t seen (official) action for more than a decade, but I see people out there with minibikes and karts from time to time.

I know I’m late to the party, but I’ve heard a lovely Spanish word for this: Naranjadar (or “to orange”). In Spanglish, Sean Spicer esta narajandando (Sean Spicer is oranging.).

I came into the comments for this. Was not disappointed.

The mid-60's Fords rarely get any love, and the Fairlane is no exception. Here’s one on Ebay with a 289 V8 (Shelby’s Favorite!) You really can’t go wrong with a 1966 Fairlane Convertible.

Lol. The guy just parks it in a rest area and surrenders. THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN!

Absolutely Must Have - Sonar parking sensors front and rear (beeping)...Should NOT - Have driver “aides” like blind-spot detection/ lane departure/collision warning/ voice control/ etc.”

To be fair, the streaming coverage has been pretty good. Alerts for events, a split-screen for following up to 4 events at once, and every event live. I think the biggest problem they had on TV broadcast (other than the obvious time delay) was the puff pieces about athletes “stories” while live medal events were

Texas allows a learner’s permit at 15 and six months.

Maybe in PA, but let me explain how it works in Texas, and trust me, I am a former DPS state safety inspector.

My sad MS Paint attempt at fixing the image warping...

I know I’m late on this one, but I think we’re looking at a Gen IV Chrysler Town & Country or Dodge Caravan (SWB) I’m judging this by the front 1/4 panel view with the tire/greenhouse size comparison. This would also account for the placement of the license plate lights. The night view is stretching the tail lights to
