After watching that video I took a header to the comments to see if anyone would pipe up with the comedy, I’m glad some of us weren’t muffled when it came to the puns.

Serious tire smoke-backwards. Shortly followed by a spin and a very clear “Oh, SHIT!”

This is what happens when a fighter jet loses a wheel while landing on its carrier:

Please don’t feed the Alo hype train. This is shaping up to be an amazing and brutal race. Alonso is out maybe a third of the time and is far from the most exciting or important part.

Costello: Who’s in third?

Took the Willy to the Woody but the Woody was dry...

Before the comment section fills up with the usual tedious reactions to any Deadspin cycling piece, I want to express how much this post reminded me of the thrill of watching Pantani in his prime. The doping revelations were a definite kick in the nuts (his along with all the rest), but man was he fun to watch.

No, I’m not really a truck/Jeep person at all, I just meant a road trip adventure with friends in general. Last one I did was back in 2011 I believe, when me plus 8 other dudes hit the road in this beast I picked up for $1400. By some miracle it made the ~1000 mile round-trip without any issues.

The twin-supercharged V12 Ferrari exploded? How unusual.

Starred for street racers are total idiots.

I love every one of these types of videos. Motor explosions, transmissions calling it quits, I love it. However, I feel bad for the owners of the vehicles*, most of the time, because holy hell is that a very expensive paper weight now.

Ohm not sure why the resistance to F-E, I find it electrifying! I’m shocked that more fans aren’t tuning in, given the current direct flow of manufacturers energy into the series. Alternately, the capacity of our attention spans may be the limiting factor....
