Did Tesla even pretend the car would be in production this soon?

@SerialThriller: Yep, Chicagoland Speedway is like 45 miles away, and I don't blame the cars for trying to escape from that track.

@Pessimippopotamus: Can't forget Juan Pablo Montoyimus Prime!

@shouldknowbetter: The important question: With all those speed holes, did the Marlin whistle?

The shirt is missing something...

@enKrypt: Better yet, [www.autoblog.com]

@ameliabearhart: Of course, a Bender plushie would have to be stuffed with steel wool...

The Expendables strikes me as being like most sports "dream teams," where the end result is less than the sum of its parts.

@rustylink: I figured it was a track vehicle, but it's got a cage, inspection sticker, helmeted driver... Hmm.

Michael Waltrip would've fit right in with Rocket Surgery Racing. Already has the uniform!

@oddfish: There are, in fact, other drivers in IndyCar. Some of them are even consistently fast drivers!

@a237426: It's an Autobacs Garaiya. If I'm reading this right (and if it's translated correctly), flat undertrays are not just allowed in Super GT, they're required.

@ranwhenparked: I don't know if the hurdles in selling a new/reproduction car like that would be getting safety/emissions exemptions or just legal red tape in general, but it'd most certainly be easier to just tell the DMV it's a '67 with some custom work.

@gotsmart: I liked the regular grille until I saw it in person. Too plasticky.

@bygeorge: The link at the end of the article says they were putting VINs from "old, junked cars" (salvage?) on "new frames" (Dynacorn reproduction shells?).

@Wunno Sev: Pretty much every minivan on sale in the US (save the Mazda5) is over 4200 pounds, though not necessarily by a whole lot.

I'm no engineer, but it looks more like a design fault in the garage to me.

@fuhteng: That's why you trade in the pop-can for a Benz with a computer that says "Hey! See that truck there?

@Baby Beater Benz: A 55-60" monitor would be pretty sweet.

@spiegel1: A better braking system won't save you if you're not wearing seatbelts.
