Wonder what Ara-san would have to say about the Agera R. Or that bastard Hennessey Venom...

Word.

I also agree with CobraJoe. I would not have tried to pass on the unpaved shoulder, but I can see the cause of frustration.

I see you and raise you a Cadillac Cimarron. Bleaugh.

I'm with AMX on this - clearly this etched Civic wasn't designed primarily to appeal to the great, unwashed masses. I wouldn't do this to my own car or buy that car, but I can appreciate the loving care and dedication to one's trusty steed.

What about puncture sealant in a pressurized can? Does that stuff work correctly? Would puncture sealant on your regular performance tires be a better temporary compromise than run-flats?

Very good, thank you very much.

Of course that looks awesome. But I've often wondered how it feels to be spinning around like that, completely engulfed in thick vulcanized rubber smoke in what I assume to be zero visibility. Frankly I'd be worried about sudden spikes in traction and a collision with the wall.

Sorry to nitpick, but are you sure that's wallpaper size? Somehow I'm not getting an Expand button or anything...

In retrospect, conceivably, one could also call this "automotive ballroom dancing."

Holy crap. That Lotus Seven video is probably the closest thing to automotive ballet that I'll ever see.

I doubt the limited adjustability of those seats really helps the severely injured, unless the "Reverse Trendelenburg" position is the one required...

Ha ha. I saw what you did there!

I knowingly said "Touché" in response to TigerCT's comment. Someone ELSE can say "Touché" to my comment, if desired. No biggie.

Saab center ignition confuses the (dumber) carjackers. :-)

This is one of those rare occasions when I feel racecar traditions don't necessarily make sense to a civilian. Up to upshift, down to downshift makes perfect sense to me. It took me a long while to get used to the supposedly "proper" shift pattern in my Mazda 5, and only after visualizing this: Up to go up the hill…

I grudgingly admitted to myself the same thing. Frankly, unless some sort of traction control were added, I think ultimately I would prefer to have a less powerful car that, nonetheless, were more predictable and stable to drive. Power, yes, but not at any cost.

Hmm, very interesting! With a proper ratchet shifter too. Yeah, I think this is the way to do it in a Golf/GTI.

And your "baby" is a male or female? ;-) Touché...

It's just you.
