Here in 'Murica, we don't need no tow tanks:

I think the sequential shifter from the Huayra is pretty damn steampunktastic:

That's the saddest FTW I think I've ever read.

Neutral: Is Mulally Worth It?

I wonder what the theoretical hull speed of this thing is. Can't be much more than it's max operating speed...

That's because you're not taking into account the gyroscopically-stabilized pneumatic suspension system filled with the sighs of infants and the tears of virgins.

This test car has Porsche's carbon ceramic brakes on them. They don't heat up as fast as the steelies, which is good, because this is a heavy car. They were

(Full Disclosure: So we didn't get to drive the WRX right when it came out. That's ok. We just spent a week with one in the mud and snow. Those are known as optimal WRX conditions for premium sporty dynamism.)

Jaaaaaaaaaaaag may not have the crazy reputation of TVR or the panache' of Alfa, but for so long buying a Jag was a crap-shoot of reliability. But, let's be honest, how many of us have looked at an E-type and said, "I want one". They were the epitome of cars that, when running right, briefly made you forget all the…
