Chris Evans needs to go.
He signed up to present new Top Gear. I'm sure his own youtube stuff was restricted in that contract now he's doing online video through them in addition to the TV show well until it gets cancelled.Quote:

Lightning in a bottle is the phrase that describes the ability to capture something truly unique. It also means that the person capturing that certain something has no goddamn clue how to make it happen again. This is inherently the problem with network executives - instead of having new genres and concepts pop up and take chances, the knowledge that we as a public are creatures of habit means that just like toddlers who want to see a never-ending marathon of Wow Wow Wubbzy, we’ll binge watch something we moderately tolerate because it hits all those same pleasure centers, if only just.

It's unfortunate that Porsche didn't build a couple thousand of these.

And a 250 GT LM for good measure.

Annnnnnnd no more Chris Evans on top gear!
I almost lost all faith in the U.S.'s ability to build a proper performance sedan. I would seriously consider either of these as a sleeper family sedan.
Chevy SS - $47k, 415 hp with a six speed stick, they can be had lightly used in mid 30s:
Attachment 184744
Ford Fusion Sport - $33k AWD, twin turbo 325 hp V6
Attachment 184742

Is the Fusion euro-designed?
2004 marked the return of American performance sedan(s) imo. Proper F/R V8 manual configuration with balllllllls for the time.Quote:

No, I think this whole manly-men-don't-drive-little-sports-cars thing is a recent development, and a completely ridiculous one at that. Perhaps it's the fault of the Miata, which was so reliable from Day One that no greasy hands were required for happy ownership. I'm personally inclined to blame that trio of German two-seaters that showed up shortly afterwards. The Z3, Boxster, and especially the SLK had such tremendous appeal to women that it got to the point that you couldn't find a man who would admit to owning one.
Jay Leno's Garage. Herbie Hancock's AC Cobra story is fucking amazing. He may be the coolest dude on the planet.
damn, I want to hear the end of his story but the video keeps cutting to some MSNBC channel bullshit right as he talks about getting to the dealership.Quote:

It aired last night. Now easily the best car show on TV.

Cool, thanks.
I see that owner went with the sandwich holder instead of the stereo/gps unit. ;)Quote:

most of jays show is crap you wouldn't pay for but there's usually 2 segments of very cool cars that make it a great flip to.
While a manual optioned GT-3 will make many many people happy, I still think so many more would like to have Porsche make the 911R an everyday offering.Quote:

And houndstooth! You get houndstooth seats in the R!
This may or may not be in my driveway in 2 week. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f793b2796b.jpg
Great looking Boxster. Last of the 6 cyl?
Nice looking car!
Ufda. 3 Singer 911's or just this 1 used 911R?

This bad boy was in the lot the other day. The license plate says "NOT A KIT". The guy told me he bought it from Carroll Shelby himself a couple weeks before he died.
Damn. That's an expensive ride. Probably worth a Million, if it's a 427.
Was it Dan Bilzarian?
Or multiple ones.Quote:
