*HEAD A SPLODE*

@Fauxhemian: Entry applications close next Saturday, so... I'm probably not.

Is denim now a gang color?

@Triborough: It's a long-wheelbase 240D. He must've died trying to get to 60 MPH.

@buick61: We have a winner! Thank you for calling.

@Motor_Yakuza: The R8 GT, Ferrari F458, and McLaren MP4-12C all lack a little soul for only being available with robotized, flappy-paddle gearboxes. Where's my snick-snick action?

Great. I'm halfway through building an arc reactor and now I have to make a TRON suit?

Real men steer with the throttle.

@two wheels are enough: Ecclestone proposed a street race in Manhattan in the '80s, and CART did the same in '93, but neither plan ever got off the ground because of political opposition. It'd be a logistical nightmare anyway.

@$kaycog: Congratulations! GM is sending you to China to pick up your car, a 2002 Buick Sail which has been specially fitted with a 1.0L 3-cylinder engine and an automatic transmission! You will then drive it across Asia and Europe to the Nürburgring... if you can find it! Good luck!

@JuanOxido: Not enough car to contain that BMW M Power, I guess.

Argh. SUVs are like safety blankets for certain adults, but companies founded on building SUVs that are actually useful and off-road capable shouldn't actually embrace that!

@blackfriday490: In 1990, you could get the ZR-1 'vette, the fatter but faster Z32 Nissan 300ZX, the NSX, and the JC Mazda Cosmo. Though, I guess those aren't really low-cost options.

@gankit: Murilee describes the rally as being in the California Melee tradition, so it's a road rally, yeah. They actually only built 67 850s in 1989, so procuring one might be difficult.
