I was close to knee-jerkling, but poster is correct. I've been getting a lot of people, not the guy here, who have been real jerks about pedantic corrections (like correcting my Yiddish spelling, and if you're not familiar, Yiddish is one convoluted language with a ton of often used incorrect spellings) or someone jumping all up my ass for asking for a clarification on a word used which changes depending on noun/pronoun use ("Catholic/catholic").

Thing is none of this was on FARK or the like, where I expect assholes.

The star is something I enjoy, but I have no idea why I have it and don't like to flaunt it.

I guess you're right.

So what engine did Richard dub over the Ford's? My guess is the V8 Vanquish.

I'll take you up on that when you can get me a signed letter from every single one, until then I try to err on the side of accuracy and sensitivity.

Thanks, my mind avoids the word "anagram" because one time I answered the door thinking someone was going to be delivering a funny word to my door but I misheard and it was an "anal-gram". The worst part was I didn't know how much to tip.

Thanks for the clarification Ray. Gut shabbos.

meh, she's a big lady but that's neither a shame nor something to proud of. Looks like she's making lemonade out of lemons (palindrome of "melons", heh) so good for her. I'm sure that you and I both have some physical feature which people might find less-than-great and if I could make a buck off being a skinny guy with a hairy stomach I would.

I think the "world's largest" claim is dubious. I believe that title goes to a woman who is rather heavy and who only a real hardcore breast fetishist is really going to get in to. I can't remember her stage name but she is a woman of African ancestry (I dunno' her actual nation of origin, so I don't say "African-American", for all I know she could be British).

Am I the only person completely over this car?

I liked it a lot more when I thought it was about 1.5x bigger than it actually is. Something about the design suggests a much larger car to my eyes, which evokes the kind of old insane Jazz-age 20's supercars I want this to be a modern rendition of.

I dunno', I mean from my pov if you have an AT or paddle that is working better than an MT for up/down shifts then you've got more time to focus on steering and gassing/braking.

Seems to have been working out pretty good for the 430 here (I honestly think he just gave in and let the Caterham pass because it was getting stressful or he just wasn't as aggressive as the Caterham driver). In contrast, and like I said in my first post, the only real weakness in the Caterham formula in this case looked like the transmission.

Thank you, I just did a Wiki on it and it indicated two kinds of 6-speed transmissions so I assumed one was flappy and the other was an M/T.

I've never driven anything with the kind of power to weight either of these cars have but I was struck by what looked like a lot of body-roll in the Stallion, particularly around the 2 1/4 minute mark), was the driver really throwing it into the corners that hard, or is this somehow a benefit? It looks like it's costly to the handling of the car, but I'm not experienced enough to know. Anyone here a real badass racer that can explain this to me?

Also it seems like the M/T in the Caterham is the biggest impediment to overtaking coming into the corners. The up/down shifting seems a lot more problematic than what is going on with the Italian (to be fair, no camera in the Ferrari, so who knows what he's got, the flappy F! or the M/T. or how he's using it).

The Caterham driver did seem to gnash gears a couple of times.

Christ, you're probably right. Effing hand-egg robbing LeBlanc of his much deserved accolades.

More importantly where was the commentary for Top Gear this weekend? Matt LeBlanc should have been the hero of the week, no?

See yer problem here is you put faster tires on the back, tires with just more plain ol' ambition than the tires in the front, so they were trying to beat the front tires in the race.

Baruth comes off as a total twat. I think the term "troll" has been misapplied to every malformed idiot with internet access and absolutely nothing to do but screw with people who probably haven't earned it. I don't read MT (classic or otherwise), btw. I have no horse in this race but SRSLY if a dude threatened me and I had the opportunity I'd club him from behind with something solid and weighty (fighting fair is for people who like to lose fights).

Is that a CHP pursuit 5.0 next to it?

Aside from being the founder of MU he was also involved in embezzlement and insider trading, which is actively stealing money, not just IP, from people. Aside from that, and as entertaining as it may be to watch, if you look at his behavior in Gumball Kimi is a person who does not give a flat goddamn about the lives of other human beings (not unique behavior in Gumball, but we don't forgive serial killers just because there are more than one serial killer); he's a solipsistic a-hole no matter how much you enjoy some things he's been involved with.

Wow something In Grants Pass that isn't meth, cool.

The great thing with the FIAT is that you'll have room to park the Nash even if it's a small garage.
