Hoarding in vehicles is no joke. There's a truck in a nearby neighborhood that is stuffed to the top of the canopy with trash. And he drives around like that! Basically riding the bumpstops on the rear springs.

So a combination of poor infrastructure and people that don't know how to drive combine into a lethal frenzy that seems to frequently lead to FIERY DEATH!

1st Gear: Tuatara is the name of a New Zealand lizard, according to the video. Apparently its DNA is the fastest evolving DNA in the world.

The wheel fell off? Did he forget to tighten his lug nuts like the driver of that autocrossing RX7?

True, but still, it looks only big enough for a V6. Then again, it is a friggin' tiny car.

Solution one would be to hide out in Arizona.

I agree, although I'd probably go for a mid-80's model so I don't have to rely on a computer for the truck to run. Convert to carb and run it on ethanol so I can brew my own fuel. Fit with a gun rack, aux. fuel tank, and a 3 inch lift and good tires for offroadability. Or the tires from a military Humvee.

Holy crap, it's tiny! Looks not much bigger than a FSAE car, with his feet looking like they're ahead of the front axle! Is there even enough room for an engine larger than a motorcycle's?

In Wisconsin along the southwest side near the Mississippi there's some great roads in the coulees/bluffs. I plan on tackling a particular set once a week. Little traffic, massive elevation changes, switchbacks, sweepers, blind corners...if I were seriously racing it, going 7-8 tenths, I'd have a hard time getting out…

I firmly believe that functional is beautiful. The most beautiful aerodynamic shapes tend to be the most aerodynamic, which is probably why the best-looking F1 cars are often fastest. Take a look at a typical ricer. Note the spoiler in particular. The ugly ones are rarely aerodynamic. Now, look at the spoiler on, say,…

Does it turn?

Judging by the flag in his hand, it was the Canuks.

Wait, I-90 is one of the northernmost interstates in the U.S., travelling between Seattle and I think Boston. How does New Orleans get anywhere near I-90?

Exactly! The Mustang was built as an entry-level car for youth that could be optioned to basically race-car specs. And at $30,000, the new GT is being priced out of my range of purchasing power for the next two years or so. There's no cheap V8 cars left, which disappoints me.

I seriously want to build a go-cart with that motor. "Yeah, my go cart has a supercharged small block V8 pushing 14 psi. How about yours?"

Holy crap! $18,500 for a stylized killer? I halfway expect this car to generate some sort of "curse" like James Dean's Porsche. Still crack pipe.

It's just, but, I, well, maybe, um, uh, I...I want to say that's horrible, but I know I'd say it too. Damn you and your horrible pun that I'm sticking into my own collection!

But these comparisons really only hold true on medium speed tracks, like, say, Road Atlanta. Take it to Copperhead, and the lightest, smallest car will likely win, no matter how equal they are. Take them to a speedway, and the more powerful, crappier handling car will win.

I still laugh at that. Sure, Forza 3 was lacking in a few features and refinements (most notably in the awful drag racing mode), but it's still quite comparable to GT5

@wheatieboy: I actually couldn't give a shit about carbon footprints. Volcanoes put out more CO2 than humanity in a given year, it helps make the weather warmer, more rain, bigger crops, more plantlife, etc., etc. And the water level will only rise maybe a foot. But Lithium Ion batteries require lots of rare earth…
