We just did our inaugural marble fantasy draft. Go O’rangers, Midnight Whisps, Raspberry Racers and Limers!

Bradley I think he has a point. Of those three you mentioned, only the McLaren was a real hypercar that went racing, and they only built 64 of them. The F1 just happened to be so successful and popular that it created a back-door prototype class around itself. The CLK GTR and GT1 were really race cars that were…

...and yet we don’t have a plague of overpowered motorcycles attacking innocent bystanders...

“several of the corners look similar at the entrance, only to be drastically different halfway through.“

Hmm, I live near Phoenix. So even if they only build one of these 700 hydrogen stations, it might be worth it for me to go refill at their headquarters. Then the rest of the time I still would have a 300 mile EV

6’5” guy here. I drove a Fit Sport very comfortably for five years, and now have a Focus RS. Some day I’m gonna build myself a Caterham :-)

Conversely, I submit that this has nothing to do with electric cars and we are still in phase 2 of GM’s life cycle, where they make toxically masculine cars and market them to toxically masculine people. Industry analysts had hoped that the Volt and the C8 marked the start of phase 3, but this is evidence that we are…

One of the best things about cars is the sounds they make. I’ve never been to C&C but I have been guilty of hanging at the exit of a concours event. I didn’t want to see burnouts but I did want to hear engine notes. Outlawing crowds at the exit would prevent this.

Don’t be that guy

I’ve got one more (but sadly no pic saved on my phone). I was driving cross country when I stopped for gas in Grand Junction. I happened to pass a run down strip mall with an Auto Zone and noticed a Ferrari F50 with the hood open. Next to it were an F40 and a 360CS as well as a battery on the sidewalk. Turns out the…

My in-laws like to vacation in Newport Beach, which isn’t my favorite part of Cali but I at least like to see all the latest Mclarens and Lamborghinis in person. It’s not as good for spotting classics, and even less so for famous rally cars.

The big red flag with the Honda sensing is the auto emergency braking. That will frequently trigger in track situations and can hurt lap times or even lead to on-track incidents. Given that this car is designed for the track, hopefully Honda disables it when in track mode.

My brother drove the Nurburgring barefoot last summer. He wore his Chaco sandals for the event and the instrctor was (rightly) concerned that this was not appropriate for the world’s most dangerous racetrack. I tried to convince him to borrow my shoes (I was sitting in the back for his laps) but He said he preferred…

+1 on the Mk4 Golf, which is my favorite gen Golf design.

Why did they lose time in the west?

“Even track days do not allow for long curves driving 120+mph”...

I commute 170 miles to work, then stay a few days before returning home. I’ve been thinking of an electric car but since there are no high-volt charge options at work the return trip becomes problematic unless I stay 3+ days and trickle charge with an extension cord.

Will the cold damage the battery in the long term (i.e. will the summer range eventually be reduced) or will it just temporarily reduce range while it’s cold? 

Even if it’s as strong as a frame truck it’s still unibody, which means the shape is very important. Inverse right angles (between the cab and the bed) are weak. It’s the same reason the first get Honda Ridgeline looked like it did.
