Chuck Yeager could make driving a Yugo seem cool. Let alone a Vette or the Tigershark in the background.

I might be off base here, but a 300 kw motor translates into about 400 hp. Read more

I believe they call that a “Yelchin”. Read more

Their predator line of small engines has great reviews. 

I agree - though Hertz does give me the good stuff for free, because President’s Circle. But even the good stuff I drive moderately because I am usually in an unfamiliar place in an unfamiliar car, tired, and half lost. And I am too old to jeopardize my low insurance rates by getting caught hooning by the PoPo.

You mean an expensive AF racetrack that’s a 3+ hour drive away from civilization, and requires a prior tech inspection and installation of race temp fluids/pads, and requires you to buy a hotel room for 2 nights and show up for a 7:00am driver’s meeting, just so you can get 90 collective minutes of racing per day?

Sounds just like my dad’s car other than the power top.  Fun car.

But you could clean the interior and repaint the worn spots, and then you’d have an interior that’s every bit as hideous as it was the day it left the factory!

How many grains of salt are needed for this rumor:

You could say that the current state is only bringing traffic level to the days of the 70s and 80s when folks like Dan Gurney were running. Read more

I’m not buying for a second that this is any more reckless than previous runs. It was probably safer -the odds of a crash have to be lower and that’s the most important factor. If you want to complain about them taking advantage of it being on easy mode, I get that, but these runs are always dangerous and I don’t… Read more

I think the marginal increase in overall danger from spreading, etc, the corona virus is far, far, FAR outweighed by the marginal DECREASE in danger from doing this run with basically zero other traffic. Read more

Meh. Read more

I keep hearing people say that wages haven’t kept up with inflation, but it isn’t true. If you’re not getting cost of living raises as much, it’s because cost of employer benefits (namely healthcare) have gone up. Or maybe it’s you.
