Nearly 100 cars sink in Daytona Beach sand {Autoblog}
Jun 2nd 2008 3:46PM Big difference - these people don't have to drive on the beach... IIRC, there are perfectly good streets for driving on in Daytona.
VIDEO: Mismatched much? Challenger SRT8 vs. Civic Si {Autoblog}
May 31st 2008 2:47AM Haha... Like I said - STOCK GT. Not supercharged. ;)
As for the 14.1, here's one example:

Once again, this was at Cecil in Maryland, which is very well known
for having slightly better than normal times.
Regardless, do a quick search yourself. A google search for 'Civic Si
stock 14.1' in Google came up with tons of cars running anywhere in
the lower half of the 14's stock.
Of course, no one who posts here bothers to research anything before
claiming BS, do they?
VIDEO: Mismatched much? Challenger SRT8 vs. Civic Si {Autoblog}
May 31st 2008 12:20AM Ugh... Hate to tell you, but the current-gen Civic Si is in the 14's, dead stock. Someone even pulled a 14.1 at the miracle track in Maryland.
Regardless, they're not nearly as slow as you think. A good driver in an Si will beat a Mustang GT with a lesser driver, and will certainly beat a GT with an auto. If you doubt that, I'd love to meet up with you at IRL here in Indy and prove it to you.
Never stood a chance against the SRT though! :)
Also - try finding a Charger SRT at the dealer for anywhere NEAR sticker. Around here, dealers are trying to get around $70k for them right now.
Lithuanian builds car from polyurethane foam {Autoblog}
May 30th 2008 4:27PM Forget what it looks like, although I think it's ok, aside from the grill and the wheels.
That car looks FANTASTIC, considering the method in which it was made. I highly doubt that's by any means a daily driver, it's probably specifically for the show circuit... And for that, it's perfect.
With all of the time and effort this guy put in, I think it came out great. Agree with the styling choices or not, he did a great job with the symmetry, and it looks flawless.
Awesome job, Luthuanian guy.
VIDEO: Another Pontiac G8 ad that goes after our childhood {Autoblog}
May 16th 2008 8:45PM I am a huge fan of this car. With that said, it's a shame they're not selling many of them... I stopped at the dealer to look at one last week, and without more than a greeting, the salesman took $2k off of sticker. That's great for me and all, but it doesn't bode well for the lifecycle of the car.
RINGBO the riding robot is for kids, the song is for everyone {Engadget}
May 13th 2008 3:27PM 66lbs for a 2-3 year old? If you have a 66lb 3 year old, they'll need the robot in order to be mobile.
Xbox 360 HD DVD drive now officially $49.99 {Engadget}
Feb 26th 2008 4:16PM That would be a pretty well spent $50. Disagree? You have Blu-ray already? How do you like Transformers? OH, nevermind.
My point is, while new content will be coming out, (and Transformers will obviously make it to Blu-ray,) it's still worth $50 for 1080p goodness. I mean... Come on, it's $50.
Macworld 2008 rumor report card: some hits, mostly misses {Engadget}
Jan 20th 2008 4:10AM There's a rumor that tech blogs won't stop friggin' talking about Macworld '08 until Macworld '09. That one is clearly true.
Microsoft Vista Plus! Pack in the works? {Engadget}
Jan 16th 2008 8:21AM The games shown are Chuzzle, Zuma, and other PopCap games. It's not surprising to see MS charging for them. As a matter of fact, it's half-off of retail.
CES 2008 ultimate swag bag giveaway: like a Xmas stocking in January {Engadget}
Jan 11th 2008 3:09AM My favorite CES goodie would have to be the 'infinite contrast' Plasma. Blacks darker than the darkest depths of space, and whites brighter than 1,000 suns? Yes, please. :D
