Best part of this experience:
Sgt.Zim: Poorly-written article is shiat.

In other news, Corvette engines will blow up if you drive them too fast too long.

It apparently ended after cops cut him off when they realized that he could only turn left.

Why can't NASCAR follow other acronyms like laser and sonar and become Nascar or nascar? But then again, I assume most NASCAR fans have they keyboards set on cruise control for cool.

Submitted this with other headlines/articles.

"Ex NASCAR racer fails to elude CHP, because the offramps were all on the right"

"Corvette driver leads police on a high speed chase for 26 minutes. Until his engine gives out on an offramp. Only GM"

Interesting report, but does anyone know what he did for a living? With those sorts of driving skills, he should have gone into some sort of professional motor racing sports.

NASCAR.

Actually, I was watching the Preakness the other day and realized how much better NASCAR would be if they only took one lap.

not this guy, nah! He's not NASCAR

His personal website, provided in the article, is FILLED with hilarity.

BadAnalogyGuy: In other news, Corvette engines will blow up if you drive them too fast too long.

Coming from someone who is usually a European car enthusiast, I must say, the LS2 V8 is really a good engine. Especially for one that uses pushrods. They're really pretty damn good.

That said, it isn't nearly as good as, for instance, the BMW V8, which makes more power -- 414bhp at a screaming 8,300rpm vs. 400@6000 -- despite having a much lower displacement of 4 liters compared to 6. Even better, the V10 in the M5 makes 500bhp@8250rpm and very nearly as much torque (380 ft-lb compared to 400) while still having a liter less displacement.

Are they sure it wasn't Ron Howard? (new window)

Does he blame his capture on restrictor plates?

Holy crap. It took me three times reading the headline to get it, but good farking jorb, subby.

What has happened to Journalism?

He'll have to take a number on his way into the pit.

Jerry Glanville has a better claim to being a former NASCAR driver.

Not impressed

Goggles_Pisano: Jerry Glanville has a better claim to being a former NASCAR driver.

stats please

GWSuperfan: Nobody car is fast enough (nor driver good enough) to outrun a Motorola.

This.

Also, you can't outrun an empty gas tank either.

after the engine of his silver 2003 Corvette blew up

Really!

/didn't read the whole thread yet
//bet this was mentioned

Ambrotos: It apparently ended after cops cut him off when they realized that he could only turn left.

What you did there? I saw it.

Who?

You know how I know your peener is small?

^^^^ because he talks about smaller displacement???

She comes in colors everywhere: Actually, I was watching the Preakness the other day and realized how much better NASCAR would be if they only took one lap.

That's funny, I think the same thing about horse racing. What would it be like if they ran 200 laps?

Oh, and Joe Piscopo has really let himself go.

Not Another Stupid Cracker Ass Raper

I wonder if he had a MWR engine in that thing...

She named me Dale Darrell Waltrip Richard Petty Rusty
Awesome Bill Irvin Gordon Earnhardt Smith...NEAL, Jr.

Did someone say "Nascar"? (new window)

Speed on brother, Hell ain't full, yet.

BadAnalogyGuy: In other news, Corvette engines will blow up if you drive them too fast too long.

The top speed was 130...WUT?

I was going to guess "Because he gets excited about BMWs".

/ftfy?

Pit strategy was key.

#3 is ashamed.

RIP

555-FILK: You know how I know your peener is small that you love cars?

I know, I get excited about engineering details, like cylinder dimensions, or individual throttle butterflies. I like engines that have high redlines, or that make high bhp/liter. I can't help being car geek.


PsychoPhil: I was going to guess "Because he gets excited about BMWs".

If I was going to use a car as a penile prosthetic, I'd pick something bigger and more useless.
A Hummer H2, maybe, or one of those ridiculous lifted Ford F-250s.

Seriously, I don't know why it is so hard to believe that someone might like sports cars just because they're fun to drive. Have none of you ever driven a fast car, or loved the sound of an engine, or even enjoyed racing go-karts? Does everyone really want a car that is just an appliance for getting from A to B?

badhatharry: The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. They like Car Auto racing.

/good point bro

From his web site:

Another mission from God of NASCARs.

And another DNF for Jeff....

Huh? Not Gordon? Who the heck is this guy?

That's a NAAAAA-AAAAASSS-CARRRRR!!!


/get it?
//nevermind.
