As someone who lives in a neighborhood with a cutting through problem (though, thankfully, very far away from an actual freeway), I can tell you that petitioning the city, while the proper method...rarely works how you want it to.

You're assuming that the homeowners haven't tried to get local law enforcement to enforce those laws in the first place. I would almost bet you that they're doing this more as a last resort, since the other, proper methods have been ineffective.

If I recall correctly, Utecht was running Dodge Omni GLH Turbo back around '98-'99. I seem to recall coming around a corner on one of the rallies here in the Pacific Northwest in my Sentra SE-R to be faced with his Omni on it's side, nearly blocking the road. I probably have it on Hi-8 video tape somewhere. Now if…

If you want a Top Gear USA that's better than Top Gear USA, you should check out Hot Rod's Roadkill.

The only reason, aside from this is kind of a cool little truck, that I can think of to get this instead of a used Sidekick or Samurai is a factory warranty and low miles.

You know what's annoying...I actually knew that the Mustang was unibody, but had totally forgotten. Thank you, you're absolutely right. Still, makes me wonder if that body is even a real 'Stang. Again, it ultimately doesn't matter, but I'm curious.

I get that, but you can't protect against every single "what if" scenario. Heck, if that's your objection, we should clear the land around every airport; even the tiny private airfield in my small town has dozens of take-offs and landings a day, over mostly residential areas.

Had the same thought — how much of this is Mustang, and how much is custom parts? Is there a real Mustang frame in there somewhere, or is it all tube frame? Is that sheet metal (unlikely) or fiberglass/carbon fiber?

From my understanding, there is a pretty serious speed-freak culture over there. This video just didn't cover that aspect, with the exception of a little bit of RWB Porsche action.

The SR20 is a fantastic engine, in any configuration. Nissan dropped one into the Sentra, and suddenly the press were hailing it as the revival of the BMW 2002.

Hey Mr. Spaceman. Won't you please take me along; I won't do anything wrong.

Yeah, but something prompted them to start recording. Instead of filming (vertical, no less), they should have made the call to the police.

Maybe it wasn't really Russian...

That's....actually a rather apt comparison. The Harlem Globetrotters are great players, but up against the NBA players, I doubt they'd win. Same situation here.

Story time — back when my dad was working for an auto parts store in the late 1960s, he worked a long overnight shift doing inventory. On his way home in his Saab 96 2-stroker, he fell asleep at the wheel at the top of a long hill. Fortunately for him (and me, as I hadn't even been conceived yet), he blew past a…

Agreed, it's a great read.

That dude's a pro. Didn't even break his concentration.

Good point

It looks to me as if he's keeping his eyes down the track in case of another motorcycle coming. As others have said, it also seems large for a cellphone, so I'm thinking radio.

Nothing wrong with that! Loved that show. You ever read Pappy Boyington's autobiography, for which the show was loosely based on? It's apparently full of inaccuracies, but I don't care, it's an entertaining story.
