Audi in 2000, before they steamrolled the race for a decade. I can’t remember the first time they did it with the R8, but there was this moment when they pulled a limping car into the garage, ripped its back end off and replaced it with a spare... engine, transmission, everything, all in minutes. I recall this causing…
To me, unquestionably it was 1949, when Luigi Chinetti won in the Ferrari 166 driving the entire race alone save for the 20 minutes that team owner Lord Selson, who was sick (and a shitty driver), drove the car to comply with the rules. It was Ferrari’s first Le Mans win, and it not only proved Enzo’s cars were the…
I don’t know about greatest, but one of the more impressive moments occurred in 1950, when British driver Edward Ramsden Hall drove his 1936 Bentley 4 1/2 liter Corniche TT to an 8th place finish by driving SOLO.
It was a barely modified road car. It was sponsored by a penis clinic. It won. For me this wins (until the moment when Porsche/NISMO or whoever dethrones the diesel heathens).

They’re not just some shop that bolts together some Chinese parts from Alibaba. AMS cars tend to be pretty well sorted out. Most of these cars have progressive tunes where you can dial it back and only set it to “Kill mode” when you have a score to settle and a few cans of VP Import that needs to be burned off. Read more
AMS does some amazing things.
I was at Tx2K15 and they had Omega out there. They had a bad launch or something at the 1/4 run and shut it down, only to come to a stop with 500ft. left, turn the launch control back on and haul ass like a bat out of hell down the back end of the 1/4 in the lesser prepped section. They…

The time I was 19 and sold my 1987 Cutlass Supreme to someone else who had a Cutlass (If you’re reading this John, you are a huge fucking asshole), who in turn sold it to a 15 year old, no one transferred ownership or registered it, proceeding to throw stolen license plates on it, tear up some lawns and high school… Read more

Not sure if this is ‘worst’ or just ‘weirdest’ but in college I had a girl come and look at a car I was selling, then text me incessantly using the number from the ad. We knew some acquaintances in common, and she would sext late into the night. Long story short, we ended up having the weirdest sex of my life and she… Read more
I sold my 2001 Toyota Sequoia to a guy off craigslist, after the paper work was signed he informed me he was shipping it to his friends in Northern Syria. My old truck is probably now a technical. Read more
It’s only because of the orthographic layout. In perspective, the frontal wrap and greenhouse would seem a lot more compact and poised. Almost every vehicle ever made looks stubby with ridiculous overhangs in ortho views. Read more
