The Gold Rush came through DC a few years back and I did a bit of amateur video photography with my GoPro following them through the city on my bike. Some cars in the group (like the above Gallardo) didn’t have stickers or vinyl wraps, but I think they may have been just following along with the Rally on a short…
I’m with you here. I got through maybe half the video and turned it off. I have no idea how he talked about the thing for a full half hour, just singing it’s praises. Yes, of course he likes it, he doesn’t even have 100 miles on it. I’ve never found a flaw in any of my cars after 100 miles and none of them were…
He did put up. He said he had a performante on order.
The car was specifically built around the 3.5L TT V6. It already had the racing experience in Daytona Prototypes, so they designed it exactly with that engine in mind. The Voodoo and any TT V8 wouldn’t fit unless they went back to the drawing board and redesigned the entire rear of the car.
“It look like a Phantom... until a Phantom roll up!”
Nothing is worse than my ‘14 Grand Cherokee that starts up in Eco Mode every single time, no matter what. This Eco mode will put you in 8th gear at about 40 mph and resist downshifts, making the Jeep fairly dangerous to drive on any modern highway. I HATE having to turn that shit off every time I start the Jeep.
The…
The pictures seem to be perfectly framed to block out the support wheels that were probably attached to the back of the blade. The main picture looks like the blade just flew off a turbine and landed on a highway, which is, I’d venture a guess, to enhance the clickbaity title.
We rented a Mustang convertible (or equivalent) in January when my wife and I went to the Tampa area for a weekend. I was hoping for an Ecoboost when the guy at the counter said for $20 more a day, he had a 2017 GT convertible premium with 20 miles on it. I couldn’t say yes fast enough.
It was a perfect car for…
Nothing in those stats points to helmets being unsafe. Not one single thing. There are so many different variables that have changed cycling safety in the last 10 years, including infrastructure built to protect cyclists from cars, that it is impossible to tell what causes what. So many conclusions in that Bicycling…
Judging by the rear wheel being broken off and up near the handlebars, I’d say he was hit pretty hard from behind. When I got hit on my bike, I saw it coming and was able to prepare. I can’t imagine getting totally blindside smashed from behind. Prayers for him.
We’re talking likelihood of head injury here. I said I know many people that have been in car accidents without helmets and received no head damage. I also know many people that have been in bicycle accidents, including myself, that would have sustained head injuries if not for their helmets. Basically meaning…
I don’t believe that at all. In all the time I’ve been alive, I can’t think of anyone that sustained a head injury in a car accident. But in the last 5 years or so, I know of at least 3 people that have cracked a helmet while wrecking on a bike. I’ve done it twice myself in that time frame, once mtn biking and once…
Ford, Chevy, and Dodge have all sold a factory drag car for around/over $100k for a few years now and they aren’t even street legal. I’d say spending the same, or slightly less money, and being able to street drive it, is worth it.
Welp, at least one dude that comments here periodically and has had Jalop articles written about him fits that bill. He owns (at least) 3 LaFerraris now, but also has a GT350, GT350R, Viper ACR, and a Cobra Jet. And has run all four of those cars on their respective tracks (oh, and the LaFerraris too).
I have a lot of friends that went from high powered Mustangs to Focus ST daily drivers and loved the shit out of them.
That being said, it’s a bit too small for me and I hate the god-awful SONY stereo interface on the dash. VW just gives you way more refinement for the price, and wayyyy more technology. Can you even…
So in case he didn’t (allegedly) spill enough info, lets write multiple articles about it and break down exactly how secret this info was, what is was about, and who it came from. Great idea! You’re really showing that Trump guy who is the better man here.
*sigh* Street racing in a new edge V6, with it’s raging 190 hp at the crank.
I get what you’re saying about “this isn’t a car to cruise around in on the street”, but lots of rich guys have already proved this theory wrong by cruising around and showing up to C&C in MC12 Corsas, F1 LM’s, and P1 GTRs. Never underestimate the wealthy man’s need to drive something cooler and more ridiculous to the…
Don’t those usually involve “we’ve already sold your trade-in so you can’t get that back”?
So how does the street car fare now against all the diesel-hybrid and CNG buses running around?
