I expressly pointed out that I don't do those things and seeing cyclists who do those things annoys me. Are you saying I'm a liar?

Yeah, that's it. My self-deprecating post, where I go out of my way to make fun of my "pea brained" self is "dick waggling". I spend an entire paragraph discussing how much I despise cyclists who break the rules and readily admit that such behavior exists. Meanwhile you admit no fault of...

I'm a lifelong road cycling, mountain biking and cyclocross (look it up) racer now approaching fifty, after reading this thread I reeally want to get some of you out of a bike. Maybe give a little balance to this thread by allowing some of you to witness the dumbassery we cyclists see every day...

5/10 Unfunny, anodyne, character-less, unoriginal, blunted twaddle.

This was a truly entertaining episode. The Canada sequence was (of course) totally staged but effective escapist fun. One niggle: pretending a super-exclusive, megabuck Hennessey-tuned Raptor is the equivalent of an off-the-lot, luxed-out Silverado gentleman cowboy special that costs is a...

Pretty good "mid-season" episode overall. So let me get this straight, the i8 is significantly slower than any competing car (and many far cheaper cars), doesn't get nearly the gas mileage promised and is overall a horribly impractical, complicated, needlessly flashy and extremely pricey car...

So this has predictably degenerated into internet tough guys making jokes about killing cyclists. As a frequent cyclist who constantly deals with fat, goatee-sporting, macho assholes with douchebag "Fear This" stickers on their trucks who think it's funny to needlessly put my life at risk, I...

It's possible, just possible that a few things may have changed in 20+ years.

This is a strawman. No serious cyclist I know (and I know a lot) would say that you were wrong about any of these things or attempt to defend any of these behaviors. Also, I could just as easily make a nice strawman list about some of the dangerous behaviors I see drivers doing around bikes...

So you cut a cyclist off and then honked at them?

Cycling season has started up again, time for me to list my pet peeves with drivers: 1. Don't lurk 50 yards behind a cyclist for mile after mile if there's no one in the opposite lane. Just pass me, you're making me nervous. I promise I won't suddenly swerve in front of you, honest injun. 2...

Yes, that one. I apologize for not being more specific.

The Australian dashcam video.

I'm an avid cyclist. I ride 200 miles + a week when I can here in Chicago. Regarding that video: 1. It seems clear there was some sort of event/race/charity ride going on. That was an unusually massive number of cyclists. 2. That's a very narrow scenic byway. It doesn't exactly look like a...

I get that the Z28 is a track monster but at $75k, why not just get a lightly used '12 Z06 for $10k-20K less? This much performance, this much rubber and this stiff a suspension is unusable on the street, it only really makes sense on a track. A regular SS is right around half the price and...

It's a gimmick. So is the painted-on emblem on a GT3 or the adjustable camber on a Porsche GT.

This car is likely the most hardcore track day special ever sold by a mainstream Detroit auto maker. Carbon ceramic brakes, many carbon body parts, Alcantara interior, 625 HP, 635 lb/ft, a true 7 speed manual as standard, Viper-esque barrels in the rear etc, etc. The Z07 aero package is like...

The rear clip is nice and tight, the side profile is generic but fine. Howver, that front end looks like something off of a late-ninties generic American family sedan. Flabby, anodyne and boring. Given the rear wheel drive, anticipated mid-40s pricing and bizarrely retrograde styling, this is...

I think this car looks great. I'm enjoying some of the Europeans in comments over on topgear.com tie themselves into logic knots trying to hate this car.

Let's count how many ways you're wrong... No, it's perceived as an American muscle car... that costs $35K for an SS version here in the states. This is a classic European's misperception. We don't really go for domestic sports cars here. Luckly, 911s, Italias and the like are available here...
