I’m fairly certain that the Germans hired a team of Americans to craft this bullshit for them. They might know how to build cars, but we have the market cornered on bullshit PR lackeys.

And most people won’t be able to fly this either.

Right? These people fail to realize that helicopters literally do everything that this thing is supposed to do. You can put sense-and-aviod technology on a helicopter too, should such a system be successfully developed.

It’s not all that surprising; being slightly down on HP shouldn’t necessarily keep you from hitting the top speed as long as your car is set up for it aerodynamically; it’ll just take you a little longer to get there. There are absolute limits of course, but this doesn’t seem too miraculous.

Hahaha exactly.

I love that he’s doing a rebuild on a $200,000 Aston Martin V12, and in the bay right next to him there’s a POS Town Car getting an oil change and a Hyundai econobox.

They’ll continue to do the videos, but La Cucaracha will be playing in the background, and Ballaban will have to wear a Mariachi hat.

Glad to see you guys brought out the 2004-era Flipcam again to maintain the production values we’ve all come to expect from these remotes. Well done.

I’m figuring that the department has some kind of comprehensive insurance policy that takes care of this kind of thing.

Wait, they really make these? Like, an actual Cinco Boy?

I mean, what’s the window going to cost, sixty bucks?

50 is a lot.

There are also SO many genuine Herbies around that I’m sure Disney owns at least ten of them. This car isn’t really THAT unique as far as movie cars go.

Seriously, he needs to sell that piece of shit already.

Yeah me neither. This is a British thing.

Hahaha I didn’t even realize it until I read your comment, now I can’t stop thinking about it and it annoys the hell out of me.

Yeah but you can’t separate the car from the time. The ‘84 Ferrari 308 had 230hp. The Lotus Esprit had 210. The 911 Carrera had 200, the 944 had 150, and the 928S had 234.

That review sucked in general, but comparing a Z32 to a C4 is pretty absurd.

Not by much. They just covered everything in leather instead of using plastic. Which again, at more than double the price, is the least you’d expect.

I knew someone was going to post this, but you’re wrong. The C4 deserved that ad; it was a fantastic car for the time. Everything the announcer said about it was accurate.
