This is definitely useful stuff - the bit on trail braking helped me get a more in-depth understanding of it when I read about the weight transfer involved.

Maybe the speed has something to do with it. I did fly from place to place during my stay, and was only on a highway once - the fastest the driver went was 55 MPH. The cramped roads in Kochi only let people go 20-30 MPH, so I guess people are okay with multiple people on motorbikes, putting more than one person in a…

Yeah, that much was clear to me - my dad said that my uncle (who we were staying with) was middle class (Wi-Fi, an old beater without a left rearview mirror, a chauffer, a decently-sized house for the area, etc.) I got a pretty good glimpse of the spectrum from poverty to upper-middle-class. That recent blackout…

Haha, I see you're pretty well-off there. I loved my trip to Kerala a couple years back (I was visiting family). Practically every car was a manual - all of the old cars (most of which were in surprisingly good condition), the Fiat Punto that was on display at a mall, the Toyota taxi vans (their name escapes me). I…

That was probably the case in GT2, but in GT5 (where you have a million versions of the same Japanese cars) the car can be bought as the GTO MR, 3000GT VR-4, etc.

FINALLY! I've been waiting a long time for Jalopnik to spotlight a DRIVE Clean video - it seemed really unfair to me that DRIVE Clean never got any exposure here due to lower activity on Saturdays.

So it's like Midnight Club Los Angeles' pinkslip races, but without the possibility of losing your car? Awesome - I never completed the Racer portion of Hot Pursuit 2010 or finished unlocking all Cop cars because I got tired of the grinding when I had other games like DiRT 3 that I wanted to play.

After Wangan Midnight and Extra Stage 2 came out, I was losing hope waiting for the main storyline to continue after the past few years - I've been watching older episodes repeatedly just to tide myself over. This is really exciting to hear!

The manga itself is still going, but online English translations are being cranked out again after mostly drying up.

To me, the rear looks like a Focus sedan with a Jetta rear stretched over it. As far as the front is concerned, it looks a bit like the new BMW 3-series to me - mostly because of how the headlights and upper grille connect.

I just optioned out a 2013 Focus SE on Ford's site, and you're right - it is more expensive across the board for what it now has to be. Looks to me like Ford's pushing the hatchback as the premium model and the Focus S sedan as the absolute bare-bones model, which is what they'd been doing - just not as hard as they…

Well, some of the other dealers we looked at cut their prices down to between $17k-$19k, but the dealer we chose was close by and, like I said, it was the best deal we could get among the cars we looked at.

My dad and I went out and got a 2012 Ford Focus SE 5-speed manual loaded with basically everything (203A, Sport and Winter Packages, 17" wheels) as an upgrade from the 2005 Toyota Matrix XR 2WD 4-speed automatic he had. The test drive we did made our Matrix feel like a tin can in comparison (what with the Focus'…

I still don't know why Infiniti hasn't gone after Lexus yet.

It makes sense that India's on the list.

Neutral: Definitely the GT90. It looked awesome in pictures and video games when I was a kid. If only a drivable concept could be found in FM4 or GT5 like in one of the Rush games on the N64.

As I remember, the anime never got cancelled. Even if that did happen, it was picked up again and finished at 26 episodes.

I won't deny that there are several special-edition 'Stangs (and also, I'm not Victorious Secret, but I did read both of your replies to him). You just mentioned in your first post in this thread that every "...one that rolls off the lot is a special edition of some sort" and mentioned aesthetic-only ones in the same…

The DUB Edition is aesthetic-only, that's true.

Members of corvetteforums think this is the rear, going by the Jalopnik renderings. So both the front and rear fascias were leaked in this video.
