A 4,000 pound car that car reach 268 MPH, costs millions to buy and VAG still looses money on every one they sell

Reminded me of Bender from Futurama as a 'were-car'

Good luck on getting the average (American at least) driver to understand this. I'd be happy if people would stop riding their brakes instead of just letting off the accelerator.

Leary picked up the two GO-4 Interceptors for less than $4,000 a pop, painted them and started delivering his wares around SF. And it's one of the smartest business moves he's made.

No, but the bail bondsman did

"It's really a customer protection issue," says Anderson.

At least it's more interesting than the manual for my GTI, which seems to consist mostly of features not present on US models.

I'd argue it's the main reason they're awesome, at least from the 80s on. Lots of theater to them. They're cars people buy to be seen in, which is inherently vulgar — think about how many celebrities buy Lamborghinis.

Definitely, but people still do it. One of most the infuriating things I've seen is someone in a drive thru, go right past a trash can (one design to be accessible from a car), open their door and dump trash. Literally less than 5 feet from the trash can...

I 'd seen the video, I just didn't remember if the insurance scam part was correct.

Wasn't the story that the Veyron owner was trying commit insurance fraud?

'Safer' right until the car crushed you

MkI and II Golf GTI

What and let the poors drive?

That's how most people drive anyway, at least in my experience. They're afraid to turn at all without being able brake first. Doesn't matter if they're going 20 under or 20 over. The idea of a evasive maneuver is a completely foreign concept.

Damn you!

Apparently, Studebaker's marketing team wasn't particularly forward thinking

The most amusing thing about the VAG/Porsche merger is that new 911s are now technically VWs.

*cough*70's Aston Martin V8*cough*

The firefighters were from Campbellsville, not Louisville, which is almost 2 hours away. Louisville just happens to be the closest city with hospitals that can treat their injuries.
