I love that we got down to brass tacks on the Greyhound issue.

Agreed. My car’s in the 6 second range 0-60, but it’s got enough when wound up in the right gear to have some fun before the reality of being on a public road sets in. Not that I wouldn’t take a bit more power if someone threw it at me, but I’m not sure what I’d do to really enjoy a car that was so quick that…

I can’t believe I remember this one, but here’s a (no doubt totally realistic) demonstration of an F-16 firing while on the ground (albeit rockets, not the cannon):

Just like that, two more F-35s sold.

Let me revise this one sentence for you.

It’s possible, maybe even likely, that this bill will go nowhere, though it’s impossible to predict anything these days.

This will be widely accepted.

Man, I thought I knew how much I hated the Veyron’s looks, but that was before I saw this extra hideous color scheme.

I bet the metal is fine, and that this was done to cover up a dying clearcoat. That said, who the hell wants a car covered in that shit? Not me. By making that modification, I’m afraid this guy just bought himself that car for life.

That’s my guess. The rear wheel we can see is off the ground (I assume, though I have no idea, that that is probably some result of them having to reduce the suspension travel to near zero to get it lowered that much). Thus, the car is resting on its two front wheels and the one rear wheel we can’t see. Since the rear…

Where were these taken? And, what is the castle in the background in the top shot?

Wait, $20,000? I’m not sure to do, as the stock answer for all of these exercises on Jalopnik is always some kind of 911.  I feel kind of lost.

911 Turbo S. It has a back seat, and it’s also supposed to be quite good when the road gets twisty. Best thing, its sticker is actually a bit under your $200,000 budget. It’s odd nobody thought to offer this one.

Honestly, to me, that just looked like a couple of cars not designed for that kind of racing doing exactly what you’d expect them to do at the worst possible moment.  I mean, it’s more entertaining than watching them do what they were meant to do, but so is basically anything (other than, perhaps, golf).

It was the car equivalent of a digital watch. I think it’s less that and more the embodiment of the spirit of the country that perfected the digital watch: technology above all else in service of a single goal, which is going fast.

I wouldn’t pay that much for it new.

and to cap things off, it’s #37 of just 320 examples made.

Yes, but everyone kept track of how many shares they held by carving little notches into sticks. It was an imperfect system, but the best they could muster way back then.

Awesome. Makes me even more secure in my decision never to ditch my e92. In fact, if I get another BMW, it will be an e46 — wish I had bought the 330xi sedan I once drove, but I was initially turned off by a bit of a beat-up interior. Should have just sucked it up, as it was an otherwise great car. I especially loved…

They should put a warning sticker on the doors: “Close mouth before opening.” Otherwise the vomit might get on the seats, where it would definitely soak in forever.
