100% honesty here, the other day I was driving in ~100ft (30m) visibility fog and I was going ~107mph (172kph). The only reason I wasn't going faster was because I was driving a Prius.

I'm waiting for the breaking news on the fiery wreck that you'll cause.

'Cause I totally couldn't change lanes if I suddenly saw another car on the deserted freeway.


I saw a beautiful car today.




I also saw a brand new BMW i8. The car is either one of the first to be sold since it's supposed to launch in Spring 2014, or it's a preproduction model that I just happened to see driving around Santa Monica. For those who don't know what this plug in hybrid looks like;

i don't really give a stuff if you drive fast
but come on
don't deny that going 107mph in what you call 100ft visibility is stupid dangerous
100ft takes much less than a second to cover at 107mph
so you'll have less than a second to react to any sort of obstacle. and end up overcorrecting and rolling your prius

It's 100 feet of ambient visibility, meaning I can only see 100 feet of the road ahead. I could see taillights probably a thousand feet ahead, further if they are using their brakes.

And, for those keeping track, 1000 feet at 107mph takes 6.5 seconds to cover, which is enough to change lanes even in a Prius.

[Fredulus]

cars arent the only obstacles in the road genius
and i dont know what kind of strange fog you have but i can't see taillights 10x further away than i can see the road in any fog around here... 2x or 3x maybe, but 10x.........? must be nice

I've only seen one of those IRL but it was in a dealer

Nice!

Finally, a selfie that actually isn't annoying

[Caution]

The SRT Dart is like the best thing I've heard all year. I want a Dart still, guess I have a good reason to wait now.

I also want an old VW bus to fix up. Like those things are just sweet.

That Veyron is also ugly, like I don't understand how you can have a car that costs as much as that one does and get such an ugly color scheme.

[Night Fox]

I don't like veyrons in general but imo these look better than the super sport

this one looks pretty nice though. one of the roofless ones
