Well, I do now. Thanks.

No problem. And to answer your other question, the statute of limitations on speeding varies by state. I hear that Ohio has the longest, at something like 6 months; that is to say, they have 6 months from observing you commit the violation to sending you a summons/ticket/arresting you (note that these days,…

It was likely "sort of illegal," like it is today. At the time, they likely only broke speed limits (as evidenced by the fact that they got a speeding ticket), but probably not much else.

Story told years ago on the old Dodge truck mailing list. Early/mid 1940s, middle of winter in frozen-cold-nowhere (Minnesota, I think). Old farmer's daily routine:

It's pretty much an excuse to shoot stuff and film it in super slow-mo.

RatedRR is great. My favorite is when he used a canon on a car...

Apropriate:

I have a '46 Dodge pickup with a more stylized/streamlined version of the ram. It's not quite as elegant, but I love it.

I'm adding this day in history to my "must visit when I create my time machine" list. I'll just have to remember not to stick around too long, or let my time machine fall into enemy hands...

Most likely due to poor data coverage. The only place they are likely to get a reliable data signal is at the bivouac at the beginning and end of each stage. You could argue that the camera crews could send the signal back to the bivouac and they could re-transmit from there, but the problem is that while the racers…

I think his approach was what was wrong. Yell out the window, fine. Get out and open the door of someone else's car? That's taking it a bit too far.

It's not as simple, though, as stuffing a V6 in where the 4 went. There's a huge amount of money to be spent engineering such a change, if it's even possible (remember, these are typically smaller cars than what we have in America, so there may not be room for a V6).

I'll give you that one. The "article" was light on details. I'm treating it more as a reminder that more and more cool cars can be imported "easily" (and by "easily," I of course mean after filing a mountain of paperwork).

Yeah, but it wouldn't be a true Aero 8 GTN, right? There were only something like 11 built. If you haven't seen it already, you must check out the Top Gear episode about it (unfortunately, I can't find it online, but it's Season 5, Episode 5).

Oh man, I loved that show as a kid. My brother and I would watch it, hoping to get freaked out by some alien story.

Ah, there you go then. I believe the 25 year rule means that such modifications are no longer necessary, which is probably what this article is getting at.

(Not so very) soon, my precious... (Morgan Aero 8 GTN)

Were those imported under the "show car" restriction, that only allows for 2500 miles per year? You could always import "special" or "historically significant" cars in, as long as you (a) prove it's special and/or historically significant, and (b) don't drive it more than 2500 miles per year.

That's Ferrari 308 GTS/GTB money.
