@jumpingpiglet: I'm not sure why, as a Finn, I'm even doing this but first of all the company she works for? Is Viking Line which is a 'ferry' service run between Helsinki-Stockholm, etc and is a Finnish company. Also referring to a company that directly employs a few thousand people and indirectly -- due to ship building, dock works, repair, etc jobs I've worked -- probably thousands and thousands more as 'he' for docking pay for a completely ELECTIVE surgery? Yeah, that seems a bit disingenuous.
Especially since this is a country that has just has the one word 'hän' instead of 'he' and 'she'.

@jbh11126: I forget the name of the guy this belongs to. Some Swedish skier bloke, iirc. Who apparently drives this thing on a daily basis and want to haul his skis around so he had a skibox and mount designed for it that would let him still haul ass.
I know there's some pictures of this thing with the widest snow tyres I've ever seen on it. Honestly? Love this.
Awfully sorry, I seem to have left my wallet in my other trousers. Could you handle the bill while I go warm up the Jaaag?
Drill, baby, drill.
Yeaaah. Fuck.
Hope you nail 'em hard. Having work stolen sucks in general, having it hacked apart and slapped on to something else is even worse in a way.
Waiting for the usual response of, "Well you didn't make any money from this so I don't see why this is so bad," which tends to be the norm when publications like these get caught out stealing material from sources online.
Sidenote: if the new M5 looks like that? It'll be bringing the sexy back.
I know I'm going against the grain here; but I actually rather like the Panamera. I remember the first few times I saw I thought it was ungainly and just completely silly.
It still is, it's not going to be a pretty car; but at the same time I do like it. All Porsche needs to do now is make a proper wagon version of it and then in ten or fifteen years time I'll have my new daily driver.
@B-Sel: Oh, I'd be far worse. I'd pick the C3 Corvette for one of the American hosts.
No, no. Not that one. Yesss, that one. The California special with the 305 and a whole 180 horsepower sucked through the straw that was the standard three speed automatic.
I mean it would obviously beat a Morris Marina around a track, but no victory could wash away the shame of that car.
@OLD GREG: I suppose the 'Busa is a cruiser bike. It's definitely more for blowing your mind on the straights than throwing it into the bends, but honestly despite being a bit of a pig I find it surprisingly nimble through the corners.
For me the thing was, being far more used to smaller nimble bikes with half the power, at first I just wasn't at all confident it'd know what to do when faced with the twisty road. It is definitely more sturdy and meaty and has to be pushed more, imo.
Dave's Farm now works for the Canadian government, eh?
@scingram: God dammit, I thought I was the only one. I was starting at the picture for a bit, thinking some weird cosplayer (google image search it, really) had made a ZR-1 theme costume with the rear end of the car on his butt and the nose at the front.
Or that the British guy who got his license taken for hooning his daughter's Barbie 'Vette had come to America and upgraded...
@SlowMo: Oh now that's cruel. Bravo to her.
@leavethegun-takethecannoli: I must be a masochist for silently wishing all the Booth-Babe posts get cross-posted to Jezebel. C'mon, admit it, it'd be interesting like watching ferret legging would be interesting.
@snap_understeer_ftw: Not quite so. The hides of ostriches, for example, are used to make some fine items and it's still called 'ostrich leather'.
@snap_understeer_ftw: Don't trust 'em! I ordered my whale penis leather seats from China and they were all cod.
God dammit, like I'm not terrified enough of Vipers as it is.
I usually abhor trailer queens, be they bikes or cars, but in this case? I get it. I do. It's basic caveman self-preservation instinct.
Also I want to live in a world where the definition of a wuss is the man who uses his Viper to tow his Viper powered motorcycle. That's a good world.
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Might be some secret formula for superior growth of chest hair and luscious lady-catching moustache in there though. Hmm.
@fuhteng: The picture of the burnt Miura made ever orifice I have suddenly pucker with horror.
The F1 on fire has driven me to drink, though.
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I drive past 308 GTB on my way to work everyday, parked on the street outside an office. Only time it's not there is during the winter months.
...I know for a fact though that the only thing I'd find in the glovebox are some oily rags, a faded and dirty service manual and little else.
@snap_understeer_ftw: I gotta say reading he had forum accounts I was fully prepared for ALLCAPS and exclamation mark abuse. Instead this guy is pretty calm about things, diplomatic and makes good posts.
Heh, sort of figures that you can't become a drug kingpin by acting like a dumbass.
@leavethegun-takethecannoli: I figured it was like that. I commented on Jez a few times, way back.
Didn't get banned, but there's a reason I only wander 'round the Jalopnik comments now.
