Toyota’s New Hybrid Le Mans Race Car Exposed(Jan 19, 2012)Mo & Hank: it's not about the machines. For me it's about the other guy. It's called putting others in their place. Grow a brain each you two.
Toyota’s New Hybrid Le Mans Race Car Exposed(Jan 18, 2012)Fwiw, today my 5 year old BMW beat a bnew Prius V both from a stand still and highway speed. And the guy in the Prius was trying so hard all the way :P
Audi RS6 Wrapped in Blue Chrome and Silver(Jan 03, 2012)Audi of America missed out big time when they decided not to bring this car to USA...whilst BMW M and AMG Mercedes Benz continue to have a solid presence on u.s. markets.
Drag Race: Nissan GT-R vs. Bugatti Veyron 16.4(Dec 29, 2011)The veyron driver was spoiled to the finish line with the a/c on and a top notch sound system blasting away while being cradled by premium top notch supple leather...while the gtr driver most likely turned off the a/c or probably didn't even have one
The Most Amazing Automotive Engines(Dec 28, 2011)Ford makes the worst - at least visually. Under the hood of every ford lies a tangled mess of wiring, hoses, and plastic engine covers.
New Luxury Series for Chrysler 300 Flagship(Dec 28, 2011)@brad: clearly u aren't familiar with Audi styling...just look at this car- shape of headlights and grill are somewhat similar to B7 A4s, the LED headlight "mascara", shape and angles of chrome window trim, etc. it's pretty obvious to me that
2005 Ford GT Mangled in South Korea(Dec 27, 2011)...far less than it would have cost in the united states (and that includes freight within SE Asia too)
2005 Ford GT Mangled in South Korea(Dec 27, 2011)@James: I know how expensive they are in that part of the world. But labor is plenty cheap in that region as well. Ship the car to Vietnam or Malaysia, or Taiwan, or even Philippines and I am pretty sure it can and will be fixed for...
Chinese Army Receives Armored Killing Machine(Dec 27, 2011)@logan: that's a pretty ignorant observation of Asian drivers. The traffic conditions in many Asian countries are horrendous so drivers over there get to hone their skills sharper than the average American or European.
Chinese Army Receives Armored Killing Machine(Dec 27, 2011)It's a military vehicle... It needs to be fuel efficient but at the same time torquey enough to move all that armor, ammo, crew and their gear
Spied: Facelifted Mercedes-Benz G55 & G65 AMG(Dec 27, 2011)Off road in this? It's like the tv commercials for outdoor gear featuring the unprepared man. It probably has off road cred, but it's just too impractical to do so. With the engine in that thing, it would need to fill up in the middle of nowhere lol
Video: 2013 BMW M5 Up Close(Dec 27, 2011)The sound of the n/a v10 on the previous m5 is nothing short of amazing. Nothing like it out there. I consider myself extremely lucky to own one. Even though it's bone stock, it never fails to put a smile on me when driven at WOT.
2005 Ford GT Mangled in South Korea(Dec 27, 2011)For a little more $$$, the repair/restoration shop will even use original Ford GT parts - instead of fabricating the parts needed...
2005 Ford GT Mangled in South Korea(Dec 27, 2011)Relax...it's in Asia...this is a part of the world where anything can be duplicated or restored back for a few bucks.
Video: 2013 BMW M5 Up Close(Dec 26, 2011)High performance turbo charged engines = shorter engine lifespan = $$$$$$. Not to mention increase in reliability problems.
World's Second M Exclusive Dealership Opened in St. Petersburg(Dec 22, 2011)But snow and ice have never really deterred people from buying AND driving rwd vehicles...I know people whod rather have an m3 or mustang as their only car and then just take mass transit in the winter
Ecclestone: Even with Two Races, F1 Won’t be Big in America(Dec 21, 2011)...any movement to make f1 the dominant Motorsport in America. They're going to throw all kinds of shit on it - even perhaps to the point of calling F1 patronage unpatriotic or un-American
Ecclestone: Even with Two Races, F1 Won’t be Big in America(Dec 21, 2011)Of course, it also helps to mention that Americans just love their own homegrown shit like NASCAR and the NFL. They call it being American to patronize American originated endeavors- which F1 is clearly not. The NASCAR crowd will undoubtedly oppose
Ecclestone: Even with Two Races, F1 Won’t be Big in America(Dec 21, 2011)Americans' general disinterest in F1 can be blamed on one simple issue - the live races are usually at the most unholy hours. Unless one is a die-hard fanatic, no one will stay up until 3am just to watch it.
Copyright Infrin... What? Man Charged for his Converted Fiero-Ferrari(Dec 21, 2011)Guy did a horrible job. I'm no Ferrari enthusiast/expert but it's obviously apparent that it's just a homemade, piece of shit. In other words, it doesn't take an expert to know that this isn't the real deal...
Audi R8 Totaled by SUV-driving Teenager(Dec 21, 2011)No one should be allowed to drive unless they have fully proven and demonstrated that they have professional driving skills.
Audi R8 Totaled by SUV-driving Teenager(Dec 21, 2011)Rising insurance premiums do not deter most bad drivers. Insurance companies do it because it's profitable for them. Many bad drivers simply do not care. It's just a minor inconvenience.
Audi R8 Totaled by SUV-driving Teenager(Dec 21, 2011)I'm sure the bitch feels like she's the one who's been wronged in all this...she's the victim...that is the typical female driver mentality
Audi R8 Totaled by SUV-driving Teenager(Dec 21, 2011)Either way, women are bad drivers. The worst part is, they don't always think so. They think what they are doing behind the wheel is the right thing even though it is clearly not.
Audi R8 Totaled by SUV-driving Teenager(Dec 21, 2011)Women drivers are either one of two kinds: Overly aggressive but still stupid behind the wheel; and the other would be passive driver but still stupid behind the wheel
Audi Announce A1 Quattro Limited Edition(Dec 21, 2011)Don't get me wrong, audis are definitely the better overall option, power + luxury. But for a car which can be competitive ( performance-wise), stock-to-stock, on the track as well as the street, the Audis don't really quite have it.
Audi Announce A1 Quattro Limited Edition(Dec 21, 2011)The Audi (s4 and/or rs4) is nose-heavy. And although those fancy Torsen diffs help, the other cars have systems just as sophisticated. 4.2 is heavy. Sounds great but it's heavy. Power to weight ratio is better on evo and STi vs. Audi s4/rs4.
Jay-Z to Protect Family in Armored Dartz Prombron(Dec 21, 2011)Power to weight ratio on this thing surely sucks. It's an armored car, so unless it has a jet turbine engine under the hood, pretty much any modern economy car can out run it
Audi Announce A1 Quattro Limited Edition(Dec 21, 2011)I'd like to see a stock production Audi sedan beat the likes of a similarly stock mitsu Evo or Subbie STi...
Jay-Z to Protect Family in Armored Dartz Prombron(Dec 21, 2011)This is probably so slow a 7 year old on his bike can outrun it; most likely handles like a small bungalow on wheels, and the gas mileage of an M1 Abrams. I not impressed at all.
Unique of the Week: 1973 Lamborghini Jarama GTS(Dec 17, 2011)I agree, but also on another note, I can hardly call pizza and pasta great Italian cuisine - because there is just so much to the Italian culinary traditions than what a typical pizzeria has to offer. Sadly most American-Italians just know those two
Report: BMW Laser Lights Coming to a Production Car Near You(Dec 17, 2011)It will fail since it can pose a greater danger to oncoming motorists if they aren't aimed properly or someone deliberately wants to temporarily blind oncoming traffic
Audi R8 Grand-Am Completes Testing(Dec 12, 2011)APR??? Lol, wish they made better Audi performance products first before going into more serious endeavors...
Unearthed: 1983 Toyota Supra(Dec 10, 2011)It really is ugly. I can name a few other better looking cars with much much better performance from the same era...
Video: FC Barcelona Players are Winning Right Before El Clasico(Dec 09, 2011)I have an Audi and it gets driven approximately 250 to 350 miles a week and has been so for the last year and a half. Other than routine maintenance, hasn't given me any problems at all...
Video: No Space is Enough Space - Parallel Parking Like A Boss(Dec 09, 2011)Unfortunately, this is the norm in big cities, not just NYC. So it's really quite pointless to own a nice car if it's only gonna end up in street parking. It's also like this in malls and in grocery parking lots.
