Yup, tailgater at fault for the above reasons. You don't have to be right on their bumper to get the point across that you want them to move over. It wasn't safe yet for the lead car to move over when the vehicle on the right was merging into the right lane from the on-ramp.
Didn't need to brake-check, but it is the responsibility of a driver to leave enough room between vehicles for reaction time and safety.

Was hanging out at my buddy's shop a few weekends ago and snapped these.
He said if he doesn't hit 7's this year that he gives up. LOL

He's had it a long time. The original engine in it came out of his dd 10 second DSM. I was at the track the last time he ran his DSM with it. Ran into him at the gas station after the event and that's when he told my brother and I about this venture.
The car has evolved nicely over the years as has his shop. I actually need to get out there this weekend and pick up a wheel he repaired for me.

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer
Is the level of bullshit you have to go through to change things in a direction you want, less than than or equal than the level of current bullshit?
Re: Random auto pics/videos
That ad makes you think the car is the most amazing thing ever.
Too bad it wasn't true.
It was a reheated Fiat crapbox and a failure in the market. It was cancelled almost a year ago.

You can make all the cool ads you want, but in the end, you need to have the product to back them up.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

Especially the part about "more power, more power, more power..." Yeah, 184 hp is just fricken crazy power these days...
Lots of hype before it was available, and then people started driving them and they are just not impressive. There isn't anything they excel at. Car and Driver really hated it.

Creative marketing attempt. Sadly there wasn't much substance behind it.

I made a gif out of a photoburst I took at Maple Grove when I was there a few weeks back for the NHRA Dodge Nationals.

That Land Rover estimate seems awfully low from what I've seen.

Ignore the cracked windshield please.. got hit by a nasty rock on the highway.
Re: Random auto pics/videos
Sounds like a road rally version of the 24 Hours of Lemons.

There's a picture of that Mustang halfway down. They're 2nd place in points
You can't see it thanks to the windshield wiper, but it looks like it has a fake snow plow on the front
