I only caught the most recent episode of Extra Gear. I had read that Extra Gear was much better than the new Top Gear itself, and to skip the latter and only watch the former. I don't know if the episode I saw was an outlier, but I thought it blew. I assume that was because Chris Harris wasn't...

Chrome used to be a bad memory hog, though it has gotten better. Memory leaks are bad but completely different from using lots of memory by design (like Edge and Chrome do). Instead of using Windows 8.1, upgrade to Windows 10 (it is still free). It is less demanding on resources. Also, with...

One other thing I do whenever possible is to use virtual account numbers. The numbers can be limited to an amount I specify, and are valid for a single transaction. If the information is stolen it is no big deal, plus the card issuer can tell exactly where it was stolen (the first merchant who...

All banks and credit card issuers collect that information when you open an account, it is required by law. Paypal is a major player in online payment processing, and I have faith in them safeguarding the information. If you want to be able to pay online without providing that information...

Personally I think it adds to the show to have a human side. Now, if the guy throws up in every episode, the critics might have a point...

^ I like the way you think!

I don't know the full story of the puking incident, but bear in mind that he was riding shotgun with Sabine Schmitz -- she can probably make most people puke if she drives a fast car fast! :p

bTWcEjj0w3s I can live with this. I will miss the previous cast tremendously, but it looks like the series reboot will still be entertaining -- much more so than Top Gear USA.

We're a bunch of nerds... :p

You're finally tackling the engine swap? :D

I'll be watching as much of the race as I can live, but I have some obligations on both Saturday and Sunday, so I'm recording everything and will catch up when I can. I still have complete Le Mans recordings from years past on my DVR. I also have FIOS, and was in the same position as you -- I...

According to a story on Jalopnik, that douchenozzle is named Blake Wilkey. I'm hoping he will have to rely on taking public transportation in the future... http://jalopnik.com/police-to-investigate-viral-video-dune-buggy-driver-ter-1755184454

The MKV R had a Haldex system, just like the current S3. Audi may brand it as Quattro, but it is nothing like the original viscous-coupling full-time AWD Quattro system.

The Rolex 24 broadcast this weekend is split between Fox Sports 1 and Fox Sports 2, it is on the FIOS program schedule as IMSA Racing. http://autoweek.com/article/imsa/tv-schedule-2016-rolex-24-daytona-tv

If you want a GTI with AWD, get a base-model R. The advantages of FWD are reduced cost, a more compact design, and more usable interior space. It is a logical choice for a hatchback.
