Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Better question might be how well does it hold up in a crash?

Forget the PM, get your self a Ferrari!



Working motor linked to working gear shift paddles! This thing is cool. I've never bought a Lego set for myself, but may have to with this.

Doesn't look very aerodynamic, however.

Genejockey should know that. After all, he drives Merican muscle.

I think the only "aero" car made in Merica is the new Vette.

No; I have all the free shirts I ever need to wear. When I sent a pic to mu family though, they thought it looked like a squirrel on meth.

Eh... standards change. Even some of our passenger cars in the '90s started to get aero features, and the C6 getting fixed headlamps was for racing aero.

Definitely not as much of a thing in a country where displacement limits don't really exist, in racing or street use.

'Merican muscle. Built in Canada with an engine from Mexico, by an Italian corporation!

Prolly the best thing to ever happen to Tennessee.

We had plenty of good things long before the first "cowboy" set foot in Texas.

Not sure who designed that place, but they are seriously overestimating the gasoline consumption in Crossville.

They do some serious market studies before dropping that type of coin and know what they are doing. Keep in mind that they are a destination to some degree. People spend a lot of time shopping in those stores. Their store sales are their big profit center. Nobody makes much selling gas which has a profit margin only about 1.5%.

So everyone leaves their autos parked at the gas pump for an hour? That kind of setup only makes sense as an EV charging depot, and maybe not even then.

The point is to never be stacked up waiting for a pump. That happens on the drag between CO and TX in the summer, when all the Texans go on vacation.
