Odd that the driver didn’t stop to thank them, though - just headed off into the distance

It’s newsworthy because, having been freed from the tracks, the Mustang did *not* immediately execute an out-of-control powerslide and run over all the people who were helping him

$60k on a car to drive 20 miles a week?

Hell, yeah they do!

Yikes - have none of the ~50 people standing in front of it while it while it’s on the dyno ever seen youtube? What could possibly go wrong...

I don’t think “contacting the car parks” would achieve anything. The vast majority of the car parks in the UK are just issue-a-ticket-on-entry/validate&pay-on-exit types with no fancy schmancy registration tag recording.

I suspect you’ll manage to get on with the rest of your life just fine, despite not getting it. Don’t worry, move on...

No, you’re right. If I need to explain the joke then one of us clearly didn’t get it.

Whoosh :)

Sounds very clever, and the pink noise thang sounds incredible.

If it’s that light then surely the MPG is back on track, so VAG don’t need to take it back?

Yikes. So the victim has to pay? Wow.

How on earth can there be a limit on what the Mustang driver’s insurance will pay out? Admittedly, I’m in the UK and not the US but I find it inconceivable that it’s possible to buy car insurance with a low limit - if you could then why would anyone pay extra for a policy that paid out any more?

Nope - in the UK, the Prime Minister has pretty much the same size of motorcade as other countries. Bullet proof Range Rovers, *many* motorcycle cop outriders to cope with the terrible traffic, etc. And they definitely travel more during the day rather than at night.

$10 for half a tank :( here in the UK, it costs me $100 to fill the tank on my sedan

Dear Mercedes

I... what?

Fair play

Why are you a) watching it, b) reading articles about it and c) commenting on these articles?

First, a plea - can I be un grey-ed please?
