@87CapriceEstate: Mine is that metallic dark blue, and I can attest to its badassery. Read more

@Pessimippopotamus: Funny, reminds me of a tach/temp/fuel gauge I salvaged from a very beaten, very old municipal Jeep used for snow clearing.

@mytdawg: As long as we're diving into self-aware hip-hop mocking its tired conventions, here's an awesome video from Reggie Watts called "Fuck Shit Stack" and yes, it contains very NSFW words, but very clever ideas.

I would also like to add, and I'm stealing this from a commenter somewhere in the past, the Continental is one of the few cars you can look proper stepping out of wearing a tuxedo or holding a shot gun, or both. Read more

@87CapriceEstate: They are back. Hipsters find them ironic and it's a known fact that 34% of New Yorkers under 35 are hipsters, that's a lot of ghetto blasters. Read more

@chrystlubitshi, i Vahn to suck The Joy Out of Driving...for you...: I just bought a house so it can have a more appropriately sized shop. Still needs about 4 more feet in length, but a much better fit than the previous garage. Read more

@Chris Richardson: I was saying that in jest you know, however the size of the tires and the geometry of the frame mean he's not much lower than anyone else in a tuck. Read more

@luisthebeast: You throw down "determinant structures" and use "beefy" instead of referring to a factor of safety? Your statics and materials professors would be ashamed. Read more

@Vorgto: You've apparently never raced. To the spectator the race is about the cars, to the team the race is about all that hard work coming to fruition and the joy you feel when you're at the track. Read more

@CinnaSticks studying jalopnik instead of U of M school work: right click on image, save target as. Read more

@zacarious: It's amazing how just popping the body off teaches you everything you need to know about vehicle mass. Car body on, low corner speeds, car body off, high corner speeds, faster acceleration — magic. Read more

@Fodder650: I dunno, coming from Murray, and given the size and weight of this thing, I'd tend to believe that 80 -100 miles is closer to reality than not.
