It's Not That Crazy Of A Statement

The BMW E30 Is The German Mustang

[T]his message is for the Americans reading this who have gone out and bought E30s because it was the simple and easy choice to make, one that gives them all of the wonderful ability to carve a Sunday drive out of any free hour in their day, or shred some tires if they so choose. You’ve crashed enough in that second part for it all to become clear. You’re just driving a Mustang now, but with a better ride, better handling, a fancier engine, and an interior that doesn’t make you feel like listening to country music every time you climb inside.

You dream high-horsepower dreams, imagining a day when you get that nice set of coilovers, and choice tires, and maybe an engine swap. An engine swap! You could lay rubber from your driveway to the nearest track.

Look at yourself. You’re no different from the Mustang bros. You just have a better badge.

Automakers Claim Obama Mileage Requirements Give Little Thought To Consumer Or Economy

Major automakers escalated a fight to delay or revise the Obama administration's ambitious targets for cutting vehicle greenhouse gas emissions through 2025, saying in prepared testimony made public on Wednesday that low gas prices and weak demand for electric vehicles may require significant revisions to the rules.

The issue is not whether vehicle fuel economy will improve, Mitch Bainwol, head of the industry trade group Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, said in testimony to be delivered on Thursday to a U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, "but rather how will automakers meet the aggressive standards currently in place, by when and at what cost to consumers, industry and the economy as a whole?"

How Many Of You Remember This Moment In Golf History

Tiger Woods’ comeback at Silverado would be return to scene of his NCAA ‘crime’

Tiger Woods has history at the Silverado Resort in Napa, Calif., site of the Safeway Open at which he hopes to launch his comeback next month.

On Oct. 3, 1995, Woods, a Stanford sophomore, drove up to Silverado to meet with Arnold Palmer, who was there to play in the Transamerica, a Senior PGA Tour event. Woods said at the time that he went seeking advice from Palmer on dealing with the attention he would be facing in the future.

They had dinner and Palmer picked up the tab. Oops. When word got out, a brief investigation followed and Woods was suspended for a violation of NCAA rules that prohibited an athlete for receiving a benefit based on his athletic status or reputation. Woods was angry.

“I felt that I hadn’t don’t anything wrong,” he said, reiterating that he had had dinner with a friend. “For that I’m told I’m going to be declared ineligible.”

Woods was en route to El Paso, Texas, for a college tournament, the Savane College All-America Golf Classic, at the time and said he was uncertain whether he would be permitted to play. The NCAA quickly concluded the infraction had been inadvertent and minor, the suspension lasted only a day, and he was permitted to play.

Tiger, meanwhile, was required to reimburse Palmer for the cost of his meal and said he sent him a check for $25. He also said the incident might influence his decision on whether to turn professional following his sophomore year. “I don’t need this,” he said. “It’s annoying.”
