<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on Top Ten Best Real-Life Police Chases]]> A stretch limo in New York doing 120 miles an hour? That's normal.

This show was what wanted to make me become a state trooper back in the day, when I thought all they did was high-speed car chases and not sitting around passing out tickets to people in Civics like me.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on Five Reasons Why We're Not Proud To Buy American Cars]]> 6. Pissing Calvin stickers.

Never seen them on anything other than a Chevy, Ford, Dodge truck with a lift kit, clear tailights, and 3 millimeters off my bumper because the no-neck dipshit behind the wheel can't see my Civic from his lofty perch.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on PCH, Hopelessly French Edition: 1925 Renault Type 45 or 1951 Citroen Traction-Avant?]]> From the eBay listing:

ULTRA, ULTRA RARE...
POSSIBLY THE VERY LAST UNMOLESTED TYPE 45 BONNET IN THE WORLD, THIS WILL NEVER BE SEEN AGAIN.

PERIOD.

VERY RARE ITEM FROM VERY RARE CAR.
RARE, TOP OF TTHE LINE, EXCLUSIVE SUPERCAR
ULTRA-RARE TYPE 45 ULTRALIGHT RACECARS
(I KNOW OF ONLY ONE IN THE US.)
AS THE BONNET IS MOST SALIENT AND DIFFICULT PART TO REPRODUCE
I RECEIVED THIS ITEM FROM A VERY, VERY, GOOD FRIEND WHO HAS OWNED MANY EXOTICS
HE OWNED AND CHERISHED THIS ITEM FOR WELL OVER 30 YEARS AND LET IT GO TO TURN OVER A NEW LEAF.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS BEEN OFFERED FOR SALE SINCE THE '60S.
THIS IS AN ULTRA RARE, ONE TIME, ITEM...
ONE CAN RECONSTRUCT THE ULTRA RARE CAR

Ok, ok, we get it, it's FUCKING RARE! Enough already!

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on PCH, Hopelessly French Edition: 1925 Renault Type 45 or 1951 Citroen Traction-Avant?]]> I first thought the Type 45 was an experimental, scrapped armored personnel carrier that had surrendered to the Germans in 1939. Any vehicle that looks like an industrial air conditioning unit would be so PCH even Satan would break down and adopt a new hobby that's less hellish. Like throwing fetuses down staircases.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on Top Ten Best Movie Police Car Chases, With A Twist]]> ShinySideUp, Dr.Danger is in Denial, maxforrest32, and everybody else: Ronin's my favorite as well. I have the original Gone in Sixty Seconds on DVD, and after 20 minutes it kind of wears thin. Probably because it breaks my heart seeing all those fantastic late-60s machines (no doubt deprived of their future Barrett-Jackson 6-figure auction madness) destroyed in such a wanton manner.

Plus, Jean Reno is the coolest thing to come out of France, period (besides the Alpine A110). Gotta give him credit for that.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on Project Car Hell, God Save The Queen Edition: Jensen GT or Lotus Elan?]]> Holy crap...there's a bright-red Jensen-Healey convertible near my house that's been there for 2 months now. You can see the sagging frame and misaligned doors from space.

I don't even want to know how much it costs, but I did see a guy with a beautifully-restored MGB with his head under the hood...at least with that other British roadster he's got his priorities sorted out.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on Commenter Of The Day: USA #1 Edition]]> But what about the leaf springs?! And PUSHRODS?! Like on a tractor LOLOL! Jeremy Clarkson himself said that it's a TERRIBLE car, and he's JERRY CLARKSUN so of course he's right! It's built by fat UAW workers in Hickland! Of course the GTR's gonna be better!!!!

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on 2009 Ferrari California Shows Convertible Top In Action]]> @Rock517: The real car got stuck halfway through, jamming a poor technician's fingers awkwardly and necessitating the Jaws of Life, then it caught on fire afterwards. Looks like graverobber was right.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on 1969 Volkswagen Beetle]]> There's a nice dark red one that parks in front of my workplace every day. Dunno if you want pictures of it, Murilee, seeing as Beetles are a dime-a-dozen...

There's this brown Beetle that drives around from time to time, festooned with car club and "RUST INSPECTION PASSED 1994" stickers covering the entire rear windows. It's driven by a crotchety-looking frail old lady who must have been the stereotypical cranky schoolteacher from all of our inevitable childhoods. I'm afraid to get pictures of that one because she'll stare daggers in my eyes and I'll feel compelled to stay after school writing "I WILL NOT TAKE PICTURES OF STRANGERS' CARS AND POST THEM ON THE INTERTUBES" 100 times in between ruler lashings.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on Corvette ZR1 Laps Nurburgring In 7:26.4]]> @badco/LoJ: Thanks for the insightful and original angle, I haven't heard that one a million times before.

So you think they should stop building the ZR1, their greatest halo car that's now deemed itself to be lustworthy and not just a straight-line "leafsprings pushrods" barge? I'm sure the GTR rakes in millions of dollars in profit and is the only thing keeping Nissan in the black, as well.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera And Carrera S, Reviewed]]> Go to Porsche's official site and click on their web special thingy for the new 911, then click on a specific model and look at their color choices.

I think Aqua Blue Metallic is now the greatest color ever. I'm going to go and dye my skin that color now.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on 1987 BMW M6]]> Beautiful. My favorite BMW ever, and Euro-spec variants with proper bumpers still pop up on eBay Motors for $20,000. Of course, you could get a well-knackered one for $4k...

...but if you were a real man, like me, you'd brush up on your German and fly to ze Vaterland to import your own. 25-year exemption laws, for the win!

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on Easy To See Why The American Life On Mars Needs A Total Reshoot]]> Holy shit. Being the hilariously judgemental anonymous Internet voice that I am, I knew it was going to be awful just by looking at the IMDB mugshots, but I had no idea it would be this bad. John Simm is a badass motherfucker because he's relatively underassuming-looking, an OCD geek who can also hold his own against Gene Hunt. The American guy (whoever he is) looks like a generic henchman in a James Bond movie.

Well, at least there are going to be two good things about it:

1. the Gene Hunt character looks exactly like Gene Hunt.
2. There'll be plenty of badass old American cars to ogle. I think I'll just watch it on mute and fast-forward through the boring parts with people in them.

I have better hopes for American Top Gear, for God's sakes. At least nobody's going to be curious enough to watch that, saving me many cringing faces.

they sell Dodge Nitros in Germany?!

Do they have a sense of humor, or what?

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on 1976 Buick Regal]]> If it's owned by a teacher, it's probably the "cool" teacher who tries to emulate his students by acting just like them so he can pretend he's one of them instead of 50.

Then he reaches out to them by sleeping with the female students.

<![CDATA[4.9 Port Fuel Injection BZR commented on Six Ways To Protect Your Tank From Gas Thieves]]> What, nobody's suggested Claymore anti-personnell land mines yet? Just string three of 'em around your fuel filler, pay attention to which way they're pointed, and hope the mailman or an insect won't set your precious Geo Metro into the coolest fireworks display since that unlicensed pyrotechnician decided to do a few shots of Wild Turkey just to "calm his nerves". Some say they might be hard to come by in this "Mission Accomplished" world...but hell, just slip your local Army surplus gun nut dealer an extra 20 and you can bring home a half-dozen today!

Pros: Like Ron Popeil says, just set it and forget it. Available in 8 different colors.

Cons: You never quite know which way they're pointing. While in use it might scratch your paint, which would damage your resale value. Neighbors might complain about the noise. Extra-exciting tripwire version banned by the Ottawa Treaty (damn Canucks ruining everything again). Resulting explosions might also detonate your gas tank, leaving you ironically without any fuel yourself.
