This machine electrocutes fascists.

The next level will be called Tom Cruise, which can handle 100% of driving situations.

There’s a timing and tracking system that several rally series use called RallySafe which is pretty much exactly what you described, but with a separate unit installed in the car and a GPS transponder on the roof. All the cars in the rally have them, and they’re mounted where the co-driver can reach the unit in the…

How does this article manage to show exactly zero angles that give an idea of what the car actually looks like?

Death to False Kidney Grilles.

I assume it’s pronounced “Groio”?

That’s the best description ever for the 959.

National Treasure is tremendous and I will fight you.

Before both cars went out of production this year, the current gen Si was outselling the GTI.

Nitro Rallycross from Utah on Friday/Saturday.

Tobacco sponsorship in motorsports was being progressively outlawed in certain countries during the 90's. So depending on where they were racing, the teams that were sponsored by tobacco companies (like State Express 555 or Marlboro) would use a generic version of the logos to get around the laws and then switch back…

I’m not getting this take. Lewis was reflecting on his own emotions in his first title fight, and pointing out that Max would never admit if he’s feeling that way. Which he didn’t.

If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don’t do one”) is a direct reference to the Pinto gas tank recall scandal, where Ford chose not to fix a design flaw that was causing gas tanks to catch fire or…

Just watched it again over the weekend and caught the SD1 for the first time. Totally makes sense now that I’ve seen TG’s tribute to the Rover V8.

Subaru’s core models were sold as just “Sedan”, “Wagon” etc. up through the late 80's. There was a trim level designator like DL, GL, RX etc. but the cars effectively had no model name, just the bodystyle and trim nomenclature.

Thing is, you’re not publishing press releases for an ostensibly real car company. Putting out a release with a flagrant grammatical error in the title isn’t just sloppy, it’s wildly unprofessional and self-defeating for a firm that has struggled for about a decade now to establish any kind of legitimacy.

Rednecks with welders, uh, find a way.

“might be”

This must have been eye-wateringly expensive to make, and now completely worthless. Someone at Audi of America is having a very, very bad day.
