^^ I've only been driving stick for three months. Among the first things I learned was to TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS WHEN SHIFTING. Of course that's a minor sin compared to taking blind corners at 120MPH with oncoming traffic on a narrow two lane public road.  All it takes is one guy at the wrong moment to be passing in the oncoming lane and they'll be burying him in an urn.

What happens when you put the world whiniest car journalist into the world worst car? Yes, It's Clarkson in a Yugo! And yes, he 'punishes' it. The first 3 minutes are fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Swg3SSOUF6s After Top Gear's re-rise to popularity and Youtube, some must be dredging up old VHS tapes out of closets and attics.

streetlamp posted:BMW overheats outside of an Americas Next Top Model audition and someone starts yelling its a bomb. Everyone flips. I knew BMW cooling systems are a pain in the rear end but this is unreal. Oh hey, it's a model audition. Mostly dolled up women in that crowd. Hardly model behavior  Captain Cannabis posted:I saw the video on all the major news networks and did not once hear about the overheating car. Knowing it was all caused by a shotty BMW cooling system makes it hilarious. Not youtube, but still a vid.
