@siva80: I do, but it's not totally insane without it. Car is surprisingly easy to drive. Granted if you do go over that edge a little bit it'll bite back.
@egoods: That's the hardest part of driving the R1 cars, I find. The line between "you aren't giving it enough gas in this corner and all your opponents are now passing you" and "too much gas, your car is now spinning at 250 rpm" is too fine for my fat fingers. I still refuse to use traction control though.
Typical male mentality in this post thus far. Mr. Orosz posts a superb flickr gallery of artistic automotive photography, and all we can think about is the the girl in the lead pic.
Wait, her top is how low?
I mean, that car has some nice airbags in it...no, wait, that didn't come out right...
Thank you for the excellent post, Peter. I like the setup and the backdrops of the shots, and even the use of lovely young ladies, but I wish that he would focus a little more on classic cars, and maybe throw a few motorcycles in there, too.
In something unrelated, can I say wow, what a beautiful building? It manages to be Art Deco and minimalist at the same time. Makes it look like Detroit is, unlike what the NY Times says, still worth saving.
@bzr: There isn't much that a long exposure photo can't improve on! Its what isn't in the photo that you should be worried about. The area around the casino is a disaster. Still looks like the set of Robocop.
@SerialThriller: I actually prefer "domestic" vehicles personally. I've got 5 GM's and a Ford and I've never had a major component failure (well I did lose a transmission in a '72 Nova back in the 80's). One is pushing 200K and one 250K miles. But I'm not impressed with their management decisions or Detroit politics.

"Sir, could you please leave, now, without a fuss?"
(dejected) Okay...

Of course, that depends on whether or not there are such things as Detroit Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls-Royce dealerships.
