Uh, it will have a 21st Century transmission?
(Still don't care, but that seems to be where the LFA left off.)

Exactly. Toyota seems to kinda have the lock on hybrid tech, and if the i3 and i8 deliver, then Bimmer will demonstrate it does too. Cars for the 0.0001%? Ffffffttt.

This happens quite a bit in pro mountain biking too - funny how many guys not sponsored by Maxxis are running High Rollers with the logos sharpied-out.

Motoring speculates that this car could use the BMW 4.4-liter V8 coupled with Toyota's hybrid tech and the carbon fiber goodness from the LFA, which is a tantalizing performance recipe for sure. Think McLaren P1, Porsche 918 or LaFerrari, only cheaper, and you're there.

Wow, been watching the Dukes since the beginning and never noticed that. My eyes were always drawn to the menacing Charger grille.

So let's recap: police abuse, insane penalties for drugs, civil rights violations, and expensive medical bills, all for allegedly not stopping all the way at a stop sign? And no actual drugs were found?

Thanks for the recommendation to give Roadkill a try. It hasn't yet put its hooks into me.
I'm a big fan of Lieberman. He's a little quirky, but he's not a robot. I like him and Lagos, though I wish Lagos would mix up the roads he tests on a little more. Seems he's always on Angeles Crest Hwy or on the road up to Big…

What is Loki doing in here?

In that case, lemme make the plea for an Amarok in the US. Forget the ho-hum Ridgeline, and the Avalanche is dead. Jalops want a diesel-powered ute with room for the fam. Plus Euro cachet.

I remember a bar customer of mine made a ton of dough during the dot-com boom. He went out and bought an MR2. I thought, "Wow, the economy really is doing well if we're making cars without trunks."

But I say that no matter how many Phaetons they once tried to sell, people will always see Volkswagen differently from Porsche and Audi, especially in the U.S. I think VW's image is too different from the premium brands to truly hurt their business. Can you honestly see the average Boxster buyer going for this…

Lemme fix that for you:
"Waiting for the day I hear someone say that the X6M is a good BMW..."

And why are they so pitifully un-crash-worthy? Yeah, the driver escaped unharmed but the car just detonates?
Get Volvo on the phone.

Regardless of the fisheye, it's definitely dangerous. The event was interrupted by bad weather and by high winds, and was even cut short. From the perspective of the rider, I can see why - who'd want to risk a run on a knife-edge ridge like that with big gusts? And then hit big gaps and step-downs where the wind could…

Yup - and it should be available next year!

Production on that frame is starting this fall, for what it's worth. Start practicing your gap jumps, Jalops!

For those that can't make shows this fall/winter, here's last weekend's Bridge School Benefit.

Proud to say I saw the tour for this album with Dave Grohl on drums, and Mark Lanegan sang lead on his songs. Tiny venue, too. Unforgettable.

6'5" here, that's all I saw.
