I haven't watched US top gear since Rutledge had a pro driver run the offroad buggy downhill with him in the passenger seat against the kayak. gently caress you, grow a pair, what kind of auto enthusiast are you anyways? (It doesn't help that driving a buggy like that is something I would kill for)

Yeah, that'd be like if James May raced a rally car downhill against a bobsled, but got someone else to drive the car. E: Not that I watch TGUS, just saying.

I don't normally mind TopGear US (it's trash, i'm trash. we get along) but I hated the tuned Honda people carrier thing because tuning shouldn't make them worse.

Seeing that bearing race just slide into the trans housing makes me angry that it took half an hour of hammering, a propane torch, and a computer duster turned upsside down to get mine into my diff. That's a pretty awesome project, and you get the feeling it's all just gonna be patched together with poo poo turbo yoda had laying around the shop. edit: Speaking of stuff that's gonna break, here's like 40some subarus worth of torque. also known as 10 diesel trucks in a horsepower shootout. looks like one of the powerstrokes is a 6.7, should be interesting. 2014 diesel power challenge day 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nftOgCLlP-Y edit: hah, 1069hp, 1810ft/lbs at a mile elevation, and the guy was dissapointed.

Bowman Gray is the heart and soul of short track racing in America and I won't have you poo poo talking it  e- The cops are there because this literally happens all the loving time there It's the most cut throat track in the US, and being a dominant driver there is almost a sure way to get noticed by a Cup team. That Myers guy? Related to Chocolate Myers, probably the first famous crew member in auto racing. The big guy who carried the fuel jugs for Earnhardt Sr., also related to the Myers brothers who both died racing in NASCAR's early days. It's a throwback to how racing used to be, and as long as that style is isolated to that particular track I have no problems with it. Most of that poo poo doesn't fly anywhere else, and the track is small enough that no one is gonna get hurt. e2- also it was the home of the only true reality TV show, Madhouse that sadly only got one season e3- I could do this all day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LxpBYp_hk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydvbF6aOSCA <--- strong gene pool here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_cFE-_f5Cg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HJi0v7ffAQ there's literally dozens more lol Seizure Meat fucked around with this message at 20:42 on Jul 22, 2014 |
