As someone married to a serious ultra runner, I understand the culture well. They want to push their body to the absolute limit and see what it can do. If you don’t literally break your body in a race, you didn’t reach your breaking point. So 100 miles becomes 100 miles over a mountain. Over a mountain becomes over…

Yeah, that’ll be it. I had a 99.5 Golf TDI where the upper boost hose (after the intercooler, going into the intake manifold) split, so under heavy boost, it would open up.

I had no idea Liberace and Fred Durst raised a son together.

Finally, my home state does something cool. Tiny diesel rotary engines from CT? THE FUTURE IS HERE.

Doors should slide beneath the fenders.

Particularly the engine, which holds explosions.

But really, when has GM ever faced consequences for stupid past decisions and resistance to new technology?

Here’s a nearly seven minute of video of the Lancia Delta S4 from someone who knows better than to play music over Group B rally car sounds.

What the hell is that? That isn’t a Stingray. It’s awesome, but it must be a one-off.

Seems vans are good at carrying a lot of things, including momentum.

I’ve been staunch in my dislike for the new Mini since its return to production. I’ve avoided talking about how admirably it performs in terms of modern FWD hatches. I’ve avoided discussing the depreciation, predictable and livable though it be. I’ve avoided talking about any of the cars strong points, of which it has…

I’m going to assume that “donger” is the mandated term in Deadspin’s style guide.

Apparently the match sponsor was VW Diesel.

I know you can’t talk about it for legal reasons, but I hope the vehicular manslaughter trial works out in your favor.

Still carrying the proud Italian tradition of making sure at least some part of your sports car’s chassis resembles a 1950s ladder framed truck. Superficially, I’m sure

“With the softness of the current 3 Series, we’ve been begging BMW to bring back the Ultimate Driving Machine. The M2 does this, but it doesn’t match the driver-oriented feel of the Cayman S. Mind you, the new flat-four leaves something to be desired. Regardless, since it has a manual, we’d still opt for it over the…

480,000 illegal cars? Time for a Spec VeeDub racing series.

Hot VAG action so dirty it’s illegal!

Jesus fuck that's a terrible idea
