WHY DID YOU TURN?!?!

An excerpt, from the Wikipedia definition of Narcissistic:

There is significantly less white smoke/condensation than in a US launch from Cape Canaveral... assuming it is water vapor and not smoke, is that about humidity in the air, or propellant?

The moral of the story here seems to be that if you want to pay a metric f*#@-ton for an airline ticket, just route yourself through Tokyo. Otherwise, continue your journey as normal. (There are only two itineraries on this list that don't go through Tokyo, and seven of them go through Narita)

Is it known who remastered this? I have an older copy of this film on my computer because I loved it so much, but it was a crap version. Whoever remastered this is my new hero, and I wish to buy them a beer. Probably one of my favorite clips ever is the continuous shot from the helicopter as he navigates the…

Jalopnik on a Wednesday:

Deez and Kiwi are battling for the lead in the passive-aggressive troll cup series.

As soon as I saw the headline in the news feed, I knew this was coming... and if not, I would have done it myself. Hat tip.

Wow talk about treating the symptom and not the problem. That folks is justice Chinese style... force those who have swindled the public to drive around with regular license plates on their luxury cars that they bought with dirty money. Problem solved, next task?

What does "real fit for the great American try on" mean? And why would ANYONE want to watch someone put on depends?

Watching this all I can notice is the number of cars going into the puckerbrush with all four wheels locked up. You'd think that at least the guys driving the FWD cars would make an attempt at a throttle-on recovery.

The hardest corner in the world is the one in which you lift mid-corner in a Porsche turbo.

If there is demand for the service he is providing, and a local/black/purple/elephant is not providing said service, he shouldn't be criticized for opening up shop in WHATEVER community he wants to. I don't understand the names of the district's you're talking about, but I do have a layman's understanding of the race…

notice that almost half of these were American names that were farmed out to Japanese companies for production? I think blame needs to be distributed a little bit

No doubt the back of that wagon has very Audi-esque lines. The front however (to my eyes) looks more like a hybrid/bastardization of a BMW and Chrysler. Of course with a little Passat thrown into the lower fascia, for good measure.

Older, Japanese cars scare me. I drive an '89 Audi 200 and I had the (unfortunate) opportunity to get an up close and personal view of the back end of a 1998 Rav4 at a speed of about 20-25mph. Damage to my car: Crunched hood, passenger qtr. panel, passenger headlight, grill, and bumper. Bent the front 6" of my frame…

5th gear: What a fantastic design flaw, considering Subarus are used pretty much exclusively in areas of the country/world where salt use is likely.

1st gear: I had a great conversation with one of the Mazda reps at the NYIAS over the weekend, and I got very, very good feedback from him regarding a certain love of Jalops: wagons. We constantly lament that we're part of a very small subset of the population that wants wagons, and we also get put in our place by…

All of the shots I've seen of this car have been from head on... now that I get to see a 1/4 view of it, it just resembles a Buick Enclave with an ugly grill.

If by off road you mean taking it to a secluded place and driving it off a cliff to end it's suffering then yes, I'd off road it. I feel that this car is like the Elephant Man; I know it deserves a happy life like all of the "normal" cars out there, but I just want to help end it's suffering.
