This is the same reason I love re-runs of cop/detective shows from the 1970s-’80s. Each episode is guaranteed to deliver at least one “chase” scene featuring these boats plowing through intersections, understeering through corners, smashing through a conveniently-placed stack of vegetable crates, tires squealing at 40…

May be overlooking another factor: by 1900 red had meant “stop” on the railroads for 50-plus years.

That’s what you get in a representative democracy.

The real-time version is flat terrifying. Would love to see cockpit video of something like this.

How much does my up-armored Camry weigh, compared to the stock model?

Blooming Prairie, Minnesota: the Awesome Blossoms.

You both make valid points. How are we supposed to pick a side here?

First Amendment applies only to actions by government, not a corporation.

Dammit. I feared this show was just too good and Velocity would decide to make it stupider for American viewers.

I seem to recall there was actually a kit marketed in the 80s to drop Chevy V8s into new XJs. That’s how poorly those Jags were thought of when they were new.

Thank you. I always keep the you-don’t-know-what-their-situation-is at the front of my mind ALL the time, not just driving. It’s a big help, and may even make you a better person. And if they’re indeed just an asshole, well, them having to live their life is the best revenge.

When was Berman “amusing and insightful?” As one who watched ESPN from the day it went on the air (back when it devoted as much air time to games and contests as it did to morons talking about games and contests), he’s always been a useless tool, making obvious comments about the obvious. He’s even too lazy/stupid to…

The thing about these was, you wanted them to be as good as they could’ve been. Who wouldn’t want a little Camaro, if it had decent power (and build quality, etc.)? The summer I went off to college my parents bought a ‘76 Vega GT wagon with a 4-speed (or 5?) which should have been awesome! And when 1976 me drove it,…

Hey, good job describing the issues in that appeals case. As a recovering journalist, I appreciate how difficult it can be to untangle some legal arguments but you broke it down quite well. Happy New Year.

Also, the coroner’s investigating dozens of deaths. Guess what, Guys Who Anonymous Deadspin Commenters Want to Comment About is not a special priority.

Oh, man. Bought a ‘94 in 2000, drove it until ‘14. Still ran great but started to show rust. A road-trip beast, but not exactly tossable.

Yeah, I expect someone who uses a Penn State icon wouldn’t understand the etiquette regarding naked ADULTS.

Well, it’s that she was a pretty fascinating woman, right?

CP, obviously. But if Ford had built something that looked like this and sold it for maybe slightly-above-Mustang money...

Holy crap. I was actually looking at one a couple years ago: an ‘06, 60k miles, about $17,500 if I recall correctly. Read enough on owners’ forums to scare me off, but I don’t remember the balance shaft. It was all stuff like window regulators , etc.
