It was outside the nose!

I know in the next couple of years I'm going to get a utility vehicle for towing and those Canadian winters, but I can't decide if I want to get a pickup or one of these lovable things.

I agree. I can't see VW, or any German company for that matter, taking a hands off approach to manufacturing a product so important to their bottom line. I'd be curious to know what percentage of the car is actually assembled by human hands.

Check out John on the Smoking Tire podcast from a few weeks back. Obviously it's hard to know his products from a conversation, but he sounds legit and seems to know what he's talking about.

#7 This feature should be able to be disabled, at least as far as the Golf/GTI is concerned. I had it on my car for a while at highway speed but got annoyed and turned it off.

I am DANIEL!

Uh, don't you mean $2 billion?

You've been waiting for this post for a while. Embrace it!

Whether there was racial intent or not, having a single person profit from something like this is stupid. If she's going to get a million pounds for this, why shouldn't every other East Asian person who saw the show also be compensated?

She needs premium, dude! Premium! Duuuuude!

How fast is this test that can crumple the frame like that?

I would imagine the air filter is upgraded too, and requires drivers to clear it every 5,000 km of rocks, branches and small mammals.

Now that's an interesting question. I wonder how well a Veyron would do in a 24 hour race, and if replacing those tires is as costly as race tires.

It definitely sounds like most of the cars are short shifting. What do you think the red line was for the race? I think once the cars start to stretch up to the 15k line they'll sound more like race cars and less like the vacuums here.

Inflated Tires Explode

It is interesting to see your car burn. When mine went, I remember thinking that the longer it goes, the more likely it is to be a write off. I'd rather not deal with autobody shops...

I'm impressed that so many cars in this class seem to have legit alloy wheels. It makes me wonder why VW chose steelies for my (first) Golf, which retailed for about $20k

When Matt drove one through Manhattan he said AM's insurance plan meant you're basically screwed if something were to happen to the car, so is it the same case here? Pretty easy to put a wheel wrong with that much power.

It was a great episode and very good season overall, as far as I'm concerned. I'd love to hear more about the logistics of filming in a country like Burma, particularly if they used Rangies for filming and what drone (I'm assuming) they used for getting those fantastic aerial shots.

Where can you even get linear actuators in that size that look like hydraulic cylinders?
