ah, i see, so unless i compete with my car against someone elses in the same exact event, i'm not allowed to make any comparisons whatsoever? so with your logic, until you fill up your prius and i fill up my 335 and then we go drive 50 miles around town, one can not actually make the assumption that the prius would, in fact, get better gas mileage.

Furthermore, it could not be assumed that a marine, fresh out of service would run a faster mile time than a morbidly obese couch potato who has spent the last 7 years eating twinkies and watching TV, unless they actually race eachother in a mile. Until fatass gets off his *** and runs a mile, no conclusions can be drawn, because that would be benchracing.

I sure would feel a lot better about making definite statements after driving it, especially if the gap is tiny. My Prius is rated for 51/49, yet I don't get close to that. Would I have known if I didn't drive it? As they say on TV, there is a reason why they play the games.

What happened to this thread? I posted what I thought was a mature, non aggressive, conciliatory post, to find it removed.

Just us guys from California. It was in the 40's recently. Does that count?

mature posts are against forum rules. We don't need to see people's in and out bits. I can only assume "conciliatory" means erotic.

Ice racing is a blast, done it with sleds and my former mud drag car, no Z's. more fun was hitting the snow pile when I ran out of shut down room in the drag car

At least Sticky the facts post so we don't get more threads "did you see this? I saw this on carpoopbuzz.com and I think it's what the 2013 model will look like!!!!!!OMG!!!1!! it's totally not photoshopped!"
