I replied once, then realized I didn’t see any references to Pike’s Peak. http://www.ppihc.com/
That 10 minute barrier was an international battle between the Japanese and the Kiwis for a long time.

This makes me want another Test Drive Unlimited game.

What you did there...

That would make for a fantastic year of columns, for sure.

Best idea ever

This is pure excellence. I just bought a used Golf TDI; this wrap will be the perfect complement to the Rawtek Perf exhaust and Malone tune I have planned. Thank you for the wonderful idea!

I’m thinking Doug vs Volkswagen....buy a TDI and battle it out with VW, the EPA, and the environmentalists....and please have the car wrapped like above, it will look great at the dealership when you go in for the recall.

I would tend to agree, however, Austin especially is pricing itself out of many things. SXSW and ACL are becoming overcrowded, overmedia’d jokes, and they’re killing the music scene. Ergo, methinks it would be in the state’s best interest to cough up the cash and stay as relevant as possible on the international…

Things that look more like the R18 than Nissan’s LMP1 car:

Seriously? You could have taken ANY other LMP1 car and they would look way more the same than these two. Just the fact that both of them are red does not make them the same car. Look at the Porsche of last year and imagine it red, this would be away more similar looking car. So please, stop that bs.

“7 a.m. — Race on Fox Sports 1”, yet you post this tweet at 8:59am.

But I do like to see an all-new Targa Florio, Mille Miglia and/or Carrera Panamericana(even a Lap of Isle of Man) that’s entered by nothing but the supercars and hypercars (as well as GT3/GTE, prototype, rally and World Time Attack cars) of the last 30 years. And I mean the full balls-out old format, not the kind run…

The G-wagen

There is no other R8 listing even remotely near this number even with equivalent or near equivalent mileage, something is very off with this listing. The average R8 this age even with some miles on it is in the $80,000 or so range.

They make fake prank videos?

Uh....

I know I already suggested the G35, but I’m also going to say the Mazda Miata. Miata owners seem to come in either two flavors, both of which are insufferable extremes. You either get the owner who “just wanted a cute little convertible,” buys it in red and in RED ONLY, and doesn’t truly understand what sort of gem…

This why I come to this site first when I get home from work. To get writing gems like this.
