It might seem oddly specific, but tyres aside, keep in mind that there is a computer counting how many times launch control, line lock and other features have been used.

They should have ditched the pushrod V8's years ago to allow more modern engines. The formula used to be “win on Sunday, sell cars on Monday” but the cars have become mere mock-ups of the production models. I reckon the V6 sounds great but more importantly, I welcome the diversity that it will bring to the field.

Now playing

Going to have to disagree - but if you’ve never ridden VFR800 I’ll forgive you:

I had a similar experience when learning to ride - the instructor used Virago 250's. I felt like my arse was scraping the ground, the foot controls were a stupid distance in front of me and they were badly adjusted as well (How is a learner supposed to know that the controls can be adjusted!?!). I had to perform a

Given that the prototype was called the “4Play” I think they were already aware of the irony implied in the branding. 

I used to ski behind a boat called “Wet Dreams”. That used to get a few glances and laughs at the boat ramp.

The background scenery of some rally stages is nothing short of spectacular. A ground-based camera doesn’t always do it justice where a drone can show both the cars and scenery at the same time.

My parents 20 year old 1974 Honda Civic. Right in front of goddamn school in front of about 1000 students. As one of the older kids in my class, I was one of the first to get my license, and the deal was that I would drop Dad off at work, and continue to school. Even though the car was an POS eyesore in frog green

This question obviously bothered Deamworks as well, because not long after Pixar released Cars, Dreamworks did Robots. Robots immediately made me think that they were taking a direct shot a Cars by providing some explanation as to how they exist, survived, bred and evolved - and they did it in the opening scenes.

Hail Lucas, Prince of Darkness.

$75,000 of parts in a $45,000 car could be yours for $500,000! All completely stock and OEM!

The answer to everything is VFR (if you have a big bike license)

Forgive me for working in metric, (1,006,319 mi² = 2,606,354 km² ok? Bear with me, I hope percentages work the same for you as they do me.)

You want asymmetry? Try Kenny Reece’s 3-to-1 with 3 wheels on one side and one on the other.

Then I too am a weak man. For I still piss myself laughing whenever I think of that ride.

They also hurt like hell when they hit you in the clutch hand. And it hurts even more when your pillion thumps you in the kidneys for flinging what’s left of the bird over your shoulder and into her face at speed.

Was going to say NP but remembered this.

I hit a King Brown on my bike once. I don’t normally consider myself to be a flexible person, but I learned that day that I am capable of inserting my toes into my ears when sufficiently motivated.

SPOILER ALERT

I ride through those tunnels every day. I don’t know if it’s a quirk of the tunnel design or Queensland’s weather, but whenever I come out of the southern end of that system I nearly get blown off the back of the bike by an inexplicably strong gust of wind. It barely registers now that I’m used to it, but I wonder if
