How about instead of mandating people stop being distracted we start working more towards the inevitable autonomous vehicle that will at the least free us from being dangerous on the interstate. I love the act of driving at least as much as you, but I know this is something we need for true progress. It's coming and I…

In all honesty, a RWD hoonmobile is NOT an ideal first car for a teenager. I learned to drive in a '77 280Z with a four-speed, so I have some insight. Younger people are more impulsive, and your first car shouldn't be something in which you can easily kill yourself by making a simple mistake.

Yeah, the second time he shoved me after I'd warned him to not put his hands on me he would have eaten a water bottle with a hole in the top.

Actually, by parking in a handicapped spot, he was provoking the general public with his distaste for playing by the rules the rest of society have to follow.

Park in a handicap spot and all bets are off. Vincent would have parked at the end of the lot, not in a spot reserved for people with disabilities. He was too cool for that.

The great thing about Grid is that it's not only available for one platform, it's available on several, including the PC. There's something to be said about crisp graphics and the engine-idle growls emanating from my desktop speaker system. I found Grid to be entertaining in a different way from GT and Forza, not…

What an awesome tale, and more so for having such a victorious ending. Congratulations, and much respect to our fine community here. Very pleased to see you've recovered your yellow-fever Beetle, and good luck with the detective.

Absolutely smashing! You are Jim Rockford's reincarnation.

This... this is amazing. I am at a loss for words to describe how this community can be so incredibly badass.

You're saying your original comment wasn't bitter? Get a grip.

Your original comment was rather bitter, and I just pointed out the fact. It wasn't personal.

You missed the fact that Guinness didn't make that claim, but rather it was Hennessey who made the declaration. As an aside, you seem rather bitter about something which cannot possibly affect you.

I'm content with Bugatti not having the title, and also with the Venom being considered a production car. It's a shame they didn't start with their own chassis, just to limit the naysayers ability to whine.

I'm pretty sure I'd start my own rose garden.

Well, the classic response would be for acoustic variations in environment surroundings.

Combat medic?

Prove what? They already ran faster than the Bugatti's limited top speed. They've shown that they can hit 265.7 in two miles, and you really think they can't eke out another 2mph+ in two more? Come on...

At the end of 2 miles was the record, the Bugatti hit 258 after 4 miles. They ran out of road for a proper record-setting attempt.

The Bugatti takes 4 miles to hit 258, the Venom used 2 miles. Who knows what its ACTUAL top speed is...

'MURICA!
