@pauljones: NJ and Oregon are civilized.

Any of the number of Federal regulations that prevent me from importing a "gray market" vehicle into the United States. This is America and if I want to ship an Alfa Romeo or Citroen or 959 or funky Japanese only vehicle into this country for my own personal use I should be able to without going through 30,000 hoops…

Also what's with the lack of amber rear signals in the US? Just silly and unsafe. [www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov]

49 CFR 581 - i.e. the bumper standard. Why standard bumper regulations don't apply to SUVs and other "light" trucks that are clearly not trucks is the tradition sense is just plain stupid.

@impreza_punk: @boostbeef: Whole thing is full of great lines, how anyone ever thought a rocket powered Lincoln would ever "sail" let alone "sail a mile" over a river is beyond comprehension. Its a 70s Continental. Think is so dense it has its own gravitational pull.

Anticipation. Whether on the track or on the street, great drivers anticipate. It could be an opening on a track or a car about to cut off a big rig six cars ahead. Great drivers can anticipate these events and then take advantage of them - either offensively or defensively. They make sure their cars are in the…

@nick2ny: Yep. Not nice. They should have built Santiago Calatrava's sky boxes.

@Buickboy92: @shinjukuDLJ: i think its 99 Church ... new condos and 4 seasons hotel

Sandy feet. No matter how attractive.

Non smokers. So high and mighty. Remember nobody likes a quitter.

Sometime i enjoy reading Dan Neil, other times I want to just punch him in the face, this is a punch the face moment.

@OA 5599: My eyes!
