Traffic is pretty low there...must be pretty late at night. If I was a truck driver I would pull over and watch while chomping on a yakisoba dog.

If I were a truck driver, I'd try to ram a couple of those fools while chomping on a yakisoba dog.

How uncivilized. Just ask one of them to pass the Grey Poupon instead.

Maybe after I've turned them into someone's lunch.

The No-Holds-Barred Race Car Trapped Inside Gran Turismo 5

The No-Holds-Barred Race Car Trapped Inside Gran Turismo 5

When Gran Turismo 5 finally arrives, it will include the Red Bull X1 prototype, the answer to the question of "What if you designed a race car with an unlimited budget and no regard for rules?" Gas turbine, engage.

While we wait and wait for GT5, the specs on the Adrian Newey-shaped virtual machine just add to the pain of patience: 1483 hp and 527 lb.-ft. of torque from a gas turbine, moving 1,201 lbs. of carbon fiber to a top speed of 249 mph. Someday maybe you too can try to best the Suzuka F1 record by 20 seconds. (H/t to Rattleface) [GT Planet]

I guess it should be aptly named the Mach 5.

Top Gear Confirms American Stig, Suzuki SX4 As Small Car For Big Stars

Top Gear Confirms American Stig, Suzuki SX4 As Small Car For Big

Confirming our reports, there is an American Stig on the U.S. version of Top Gear. The producers also revealed the Suzuki SX4 Sportback is the small car for big stars and the "big stars" include Tim Allen and Kid Rock.

The American Top Gear on History is currently taping and severely leaking information. We knew there was going to be a Stig and had some idea of who was going to appear as the Big Stars In A Little Car (the Americanized Star In A Reasonably-Priced Car).

Now we know for sure the interviewees for the first season will be: Buzz Aldrin, Tim Allen, Ty Burrell, Tony Hawk, Bret Michaels, Dominic Monaghan, Kid Rock, and Michelle Rodriguez. And the car, as seen in this photo, is actually the the Suzuki SX4, and not the Kia Rio, which the producers say was in the running but not preferred over the zippy SX4 Sportback.

Who will be the fastest around the track in the SX4? Tim Allen is a longtime car guy and Michelle Rodriguez scares us, so we're giving them the top lap times. How do you rank these Big Stars?
========================

By the looks of American Stig's svelte figure, he will successfully add 5 seconds to every potential lap time. Moreover, his added heft will eschew the need for anti-lock brakes as the car will never be able to reach speeds for which they are necessary.

^ By the looks of him, the U.S. Stig must be an old school NASCAR driver.

By the looks of him, American Stig just had a full slab of ribs and an half a rotisserie chicken at Lucille's BBQ.

Always the polite one, The Stig...even if his greasy mouth is smeared with Hickory Smoked BBQ sauce underneath that polarized visor.
