    Sure they look good now. But they'd better have their act together before the Snowman shows up.

    I'm a bit surprised to see Falken campaign a car for LeMans. As far as I knew, a tire company sponsorship just meant free tires for the race team in exchange for the advertising.

    This music makes me want to dance, but I'm glad they didn't cover up the engine noise. Because that makes me want to do something else. Something naughty. Like take off all my clothes, put a sock on my junk, and run around my office yelling, "All hail the mighty Bruce! Falken and Flying Lizard agree! Bow to the mighty boxer engine!"


    I would get fired, so it isn't quite worth it.

    @pleco


    I've been using the same IE browser for months, and haven't had any problems. I've tried clearing cookies and all of that. I only have this problem on Jalopnik.


    Whatever.


    By the way, I use firefox at home, and so I don't know if I'll experience the same problem there. Hopefully I won't.


    If that's the case, I'll bring my laptop to work and use it to sign in.

    It sucks that this is the only site that you are having a problem with. I would suggest that when you get home, log on using IE and see if it gives you the same problem. If so, then it is a browser issue, not a website issue.

    @Falken Tire: Actually, I just had an awesome idea, just make a recording of the car going around various awesome racetracks and release them on a CD.


    Please include Spa, Norschleiffe, Laguna Seca and Top Gear Test Track, I'd buy that!


    Just ignore the NASCAR superspeedways.

    Ehhh. This isn't worth commenting on.


    However, I would probably love to reply to what some of my fellow commenters have written.


    Are we working on fixing that anytime soon?


    If you guys want, I know some incompetent mentally impaired monkeys I can send to come help you.


    Just offering.

    I use Firefox at work and Safari at home, and neither have any issues. Additionally, I know that I have heard at least one mention that it works just fine with Google Chrome, too.

    The C6R is an unruly, ripping, roaring, bull in a china shop that exudes brutality and intimidation. This is some shit you'd see in the parking lot for the antiques roadshow.
