Word of the Day

Actually, it's two phrases. Both of which are awesome.

Naturally-aspirated engine

Sequential gear box

Today's Word of the Day was brought to you by my curiosity, as sparked by this Top Gear article on the Ford Fiesta S2000 for WRC 2011.

Word of the Day: Kit Cars

OK so it's actually two words ^_^

I've been hearing/reading a lot about kit car this and kit car that. One "funny" guy at my dealership joked that the blue Ferrari I was ogling earlier this year when I took my jalopy in for an oil change was a mail kit car "they're really cheap." He certainly didn't like my sneer as I proceeded to ignore him and keep photographing the specimen...wonder why...

So you wanna know what a kit car is? Check out Wiki's entry. Also known as a kit vehicle.
