    Rosemeyer was a man among men, and Nuvolari gets my vote as the greatest racing driver of all time. Those guys competed at a time when motor racing was a death sport. Anything that commemorates their heroic skill and bravery is all good in my book, esp. if it tastes good.

    Pete, I think you should not only touch it, you should melt it and pour it over your naked body, if only to infuse yourself with the chocolatey greatness of Herr Rosemeyer.

    @scroggzilla raids again: From everything I've heard, it took balls of steel to drive those Auto Unions hard - overpowered, skinny tires, primitive suspensions, and snap oversteer when you least expect it. These cars could kill you if you so much as looked at them wrong. Rosemeyer found out the hard way.

    Personally, I think this whole thread is misguided... look at the expression on the lady's face - she's not thinking: "OMIGOD, where am I supposed to put this bag?", she's thinking: "No WONDER it wouldn't start... some idiot crammed a dead hooker in there, thinking it was the trunk - and in the process broke the feed lines to the #5 & #7 fuel injectors... those mechanically inept MORONS!" (and yes, that was two dead hooker references in one thread).

    And the 2nd pic is simply the result of the Lambo driver having brake-checked the bike messenger who was tailgating him a little too closely... the bike forks are wedged in the engine vent fins, and the Lambo owner just put those rails on there temporarily in order to position the bike upright for the photo he needed for the insurance claim.

    I had a 3rd Gen Toyota MR-S, and used to love grocery shopping - if there were people in the parking lot and looking my way, I'd open the front trunk and throw my groceries in under the hood. Close the hood, hop in, drive away. It drew mostly quizzical looks, but at least once I told someone it was a hybrid that ran on sandwiches.

    Uh...how about:

    Solution A- Don't give a mid-engined car to an idiot.

    Solution B- If you can afford a Lambo, you can afford a second car to put your bike on.

    Don't mean to be condescending or anything, but those are mostly for fun. The model, Natalie Polgar, is a member of Peter Orosz's site Hyperleggera. I'm guessing she knows about cars.

    How can the mid engine not feel natural? Put the single heaviest non-structural component as close to both the center of the car, and to the driving wheels, as possible. Your polar moment of inertia is now sharply reduced. The yaw center is moved almost directly under the driver's right asscheek. There is no big, heavy driveshaft to bog acceleration. In short, it's about 31 flavors of Win.

    Okay, it does leave less space in the stern for groceries. But if Toyota can leave space for five shopping bags behind the mill of the ultra-tiny first-gen MR2 and no one complains, then you know that when you pony up for a mid engine ride, luggage space isn't your first concern.
