Power is how fast you hit the wall... Torque is how far you take the wall with you!

Proof that some should not drive fine machinery.

I feel for the car.
What you won't find in my car is a coffee, cigarette and a cell phone. What you will find is a driver; imagine that, a driver in a vehicle. What an effing concept!

A car has to do more than just perform; it has to stir your soul!

A true driver's car does not have cup holders.

That is just downright nasty.

wow.  makes me wonder why the guard rail came off like that on impact and go through the front of the car.  how could that happen??   just seems like maybe the guard rail wasn't maintained properly. lucky for the occupants it went right between the seats.

Not quite right between, I believe it removed the drivers legs on the way through, not so lucky.  There are many examples of similar guardrail impaled wrecks on the internet.
