LOL, repeated max braking panic stops in the real word = No one except every SUV driver with a cellphone.

To me this data doesn’t paint an all that convincing picture. How many times does someone run into repeated max braking panic stops in the real world? On the first stop the winters stopped within 4 feet of the all seasons. That’s pretty dang close. (The reverse test on snow in the winter has a much larger difference.)…

I can’t say total crack pipe, cause I have my own boosted BRZ (supercharged) for sale for a similar price. Although mine only has 14.7k miles on it, with the original engine. I’ve got all the records and receipts for the work done, and haven’t had any problems with it being boosted, or hydrolocked.

I used to work in the vintage racing world and overall I found that to be true, but every now and then you’d see an epic battle when a retired pro (sometimes an active pro) would really give it the beans. One of my most memorable events was a HSR race at Sebring with Duncan Dayton (who was also running as an…

The reason has nothing to do with horsepower. This man clearly has the personal financial security that lets him take risks on a race track full of vintage irreplaceable racecars that others driving them cannot justify.

No, fuck this guy. The cop is doing his job, you got a problem with that take it up with his CO. I didn’t like the bread at the bakery this morning, so let me go ahead and drop kick the cashier.

I’m with you 100%. I’m still happy to be driving a 2000 that doesn’t have a screen in it. I find them distracting and don’t think they really improved anything. I have wondered if I can get one removed when I actually do end up with a car with one.

User experience (UX) professional here.

I miss knobs. I mean, really. I can turn a knob without taking my eyes off the road. I shouldn’t have to pull over to change the temperature of the car or adjust the volume.

And police! Why do we have so many of them? I mean, we’re all law-abiding folks, right? Well, mostly...

did the EPA break the news about dieselgate?

They’re traveling for free on a employee pass... There’s different standards when you get it free from the an employee (which then you do represent the company even if you don’t know it) rather than when you paid for your seat.

Lots of tweets, but pictures would say much more. If their leggings were shear enough to effectively be pantyhose/underwear as opposed to proper clothing, I would side with United. It’s unreasonable to assume that just because one of the passengers was young that her parents had her dressed properly. We really…

What everyone wants is for them to add 100 HP, which means a beefier drivetrain, which means beefier tires, which means beefier wheels and brakes, which means beefier suspension, which means beefier body and chassis, which means... you want a Genesis Coupe.

Go away, people. Quit trying to ruin this car.

Body Panels designed to trap water is about the most Land Rover way to solve an engineering problem I can think of

Fake news! I’ve been getting speeding tickets in manual-transmission cars for years now. YEARS.

Been my nightmare as a track Day instructor for a decade now. I eventually stopped teaching at tracks with hard surfaces at the end of big straights. By the way, this guy was pretty fucking composed after that kind of a hit.

I learned all about the frit when I was building a custom fastback for my car. The rear glass was a bear. The first one was made from a custom cut RV windshield. It shattered during the build. The second one was made again from a custom cut RV windshield, and I used a special “frit paint” along the edge. The…

Spend a couple of grand more and get an LS430 (2004+, no air suspension). Looks much newer than an LS400, probably half the miles, and still dead reliable.

Find a cream puff first generation Lexus LS400, dump some of the rest of the money into making it cosmetically and mechanically perfect, and drive the shit out of it for the next 20 years.
