GM Stock Dump, Fisker Hybrid, Ferrari F1, Opel Astra - 05...

[shadowbaby]

all i'm saying is that run flats aren't as grippy not that they are shit and it could run faster with good conventional sports tires.

[792155007]

this is scary if u read this this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hour

[Charalexdj]

mucho ruido hijo echale ganas!!!!!!

[jmosler9]

Buick... Now there is a brand that can die.

[StreetKingEvolution]

Finally someone says it, thank you

[haloaum]

the astra looks like the old mazda 3... can see where they got they design idea from...

[MrSushan]

Search "Happy Rob Buy" by google ,and you will find amazing.

[Gannondalf]

lmao.

[peterinne]

what? no ferrari in F1 2010? lol

[EliteGuard01]

So say I had $90. If GM stock Is only $1.15 and I bought 90 shares of stock, wouldn't that basically mean I would own GM? I bet I could run the company even better than it was, even though I haven't even graduated college yet.

[scruffy412]

So what kind of music does FLD listen to?

[xilverdragon]

That F1 rule rlly sucks... Formula 1 isn't anything without Ferrari... and tbh i think mclaren isn't rlly happy with it either...

[JoshDeRoxas]

Dude i agree with you all the way. Ferrari FTW.

[yoursweet]

Good work today DD. cant knock you on anything today.

[sonyfucker]

yes darek i do think u need a COCKtail

[NickVolcom]

Like the Volcom tee

[newengland72]

I'm disappointed, I really though Derrek could hack it on the trading floor.

[comedicd]

i thought i did alright man...and my name has only one "r"...i still love ya tho, rock on holmes

[davidmac2007]

if fiat bought opel would they own vaxhaul too?

[ZacsEpicEphemera]

No - Vaxhaul would just loose the Astra from there lineup

[rcfp2006]

no, they're seperate comapnies owned by GM

[blitzwing1985]

man that new Astra that some generic POS . I'm sorry but its a set back in style i can only hope the VXR some how redeems it.

[ben10Topgear]

niice

[mail22]

DD, I like your Bob Shubert gig better...you should stick to that one. Or come up with a new version, like a Japanese dude for Toyota or a German dude for VW. How about act like one of those Italian mobsters with the open hairy chest and gold chains and advertise for Maserati. Or dress up as Pepe Le Pew and sell Peugeots.

[newengland72]

Brilliant!

FLD, please employ this person.

[pretty00lights]

i hate Max Mosley and the direction hes taking motorsports. why they hell would u want a hybrid F1 car? Do they really make that big of an impact. He already ruined the WRC. I HOPE Ferrari leaves the sport to set an example. who cares about small racing teams, without the big factory supported teams we wont see any of the racing technology in our cars.

[CrapDot45]

I can't do it ! There is no words on it!

[mustnoor]

What is Derick D new car

[ben10Topgear]

pontiac solstice coupe GXP

i dunno... i forgot

[kitkat123474]

oh well... there goes GM..

[SourGrey]

I cant wait till the FEED Sign Bites your leg off! Mr. D

[viktord1]

The Astra was supposed to be sort of a sporty handling car for spirited European driving in a way. With a Buick badge it means it's probably gonna receive jelly for suspension so grandma's back won't hurt so much. GM needs to scrap buick. I'm tired of shitty grandma car's driving around.

[davidameyers]

Amen! It will also mean that the seats will be soft enough for Grandma's ass, completely ruining the entire car.

[Coachramsies]

the Astra is a HORRIBLE car, I hope they just completely dump it, I hope Fiat make their own version which might actually be good.

[viktord1]

What are you talking about man? The Astra was a good car. The only problem was that it had a Saturn badge and was offered with only a 1.8L.

[Coachramsies]

You could get a 2L engine in australia, but I think they are overpriced and poorly built, absolutely nothing to write home about, its the best example of an Econobox and everything wrong with them,

[viktord1]

The astra i drove in Germany certainly felt much nicer than most cars in it's class. It was much nicer to drive than a Focus, Civic, or Corolla and the interior was put together much better than those cars. It wasn't up to VW standards but it was very good. I don't know how its image was in Australia but it was the second best selling car in Europe for a long time. First was the Golf.

[pretty00lights]

haha the astra is horrible, but fiats are even worst.

[Coachramsies]

the X1/9 and 124 are pretty sick cars

[TBustah]

Ferrari not doing F1?

That's like the Yankees not playing baseball!

The reason Enzo Ferrari even started built road cars in the first place was to fund his Formula 1 team. It's tradition!

[SourGrey]

what will they do now.

[DoggyDaTroof]

A shame such a pretty car as the Karma has to be battery operated.

[TBustah]

Indeed.

But with the recent trend of Corvette-powered european supercars, perhaps they'll offer a V8 variant.

[74bajista]

Way to go GM execs!!! Your actions are sure to bring even more confidence into the company you run and the cars you sell!!! Wooot wooot!!!

[desimunda116]

hahah i have the exact same boxing glove

[desimunda116]

How come FLD isn't posting HD vids n e more?

[Aznzzboi]

it cost money man

[terridot]

Cause they do not employ hot girls to do the show anymore. Who wants to see DD in HD?

[comedicd]

no no no guys..the reason we don't post in HD is because it would take waaaay long to upload, show would get up waaay later etc...we are a daily show, if we were say only 2 maybe 3 times a week we would definitely be in HD...but since we are daily, the time it would take to upload takes away from the fans watching time. Therefore High Quality does the trick just fine...keep coppin FLD stayles

[carcrazy599]

thanks for the answer Derek I like to see you answering my questions but next time you could just answer me on facebook

[scupi2009]

ok, limit on spending for formula racing is a fricken joke! especially now! first of all Ferrari has become an icon to formula racing. Second the Ferrari Team itself is an economic multiplier... why would you get rid of that in times like this??? can we say dumb asses! and third, not only does Ferrari spend million... they spend it on engineering and performance in cars that not only advances technology but it also may end up in your car!

[voodoovillwock]

This guy is a complete tool. He drives a solstice, enough said. It might be the only car he can reach the pedals in. It becomes hard to listen to what he has to say with his wack jokes and obsession with cock slapping the url link.

[Amras0407]

Stop fucking hating. No one is forcing you to watch it. If you don't like it, don't fucking watch. Fucking tool.

[comedicd]

hey man, i dig the haterade your drinking...keep it flowing

- The Wack Joke Host (Derek D.)

[voodoovillwock]

Nice man, I was just fishing for a response, well played. -V.V

[FLJAMESFL]

I would have to second that.

[RXTRUX1]

you forgot a word: LAME

[lewisje]

you tube you punched with the wrong hand

[RossEnzo]

Derek D is amazing

[bottomlayer]

Bob Lutz is a disgrace to this country

you should put a picture of him on that feed sign

[JohnMarineTube]

I've failed Economics in college, so I have no idea about that stock thing. Tough goings for GM, nonetheless. Never saw a Fisker I really like, but that's cool for Fisker to try to come along with a few new models. No Ferrari in F1 would be like Major League Baseball without the Yankees or the Red Sox. HUGE impact this would have. You punched with you right? I thought you were left-handed (southpaw) or something. This Opel Astra looks lovely; lovelier than the Saturn, though I like both of them.

[philler101]

ciao. the hello one.

[adj789]

at first i was like

: \

den I lol'd

[robscorobson86]

Are you seriously to lazy to type "then"??

Its one freaking letter. "Den" just makes you sound like an idiot

[gator966]

he a brotha hahahahha

[Spyker88]

That or he's dyslexic. Also as a black person, I'm not digging the "brotha" joke so ease off with that please.

[crbnfunoxide]

damn derek, sorry to hear that. i caught a Razorblade in my Acura TL's tire this last friday. Who are all these people chuckin' files and razorblades out of their windows? I hate catchin' shit in my tires.

[crbnfunoxide]

Lutz is a Klutz, thank you guys so much for ruining one of the greatest american companies ever. I fucking hate the management at General Motors, they are all a bunch of douche bags. I am sorry for anyone that works in their factories, truly i am. They made a ton of money off of your hard work without giving two fucks about any of you.

[davidfx16gts]

Derek keep punching the feed.

[TangoR34]

stop beating the feed, its getting boring, the novelty has worned off. I'd rather you do more funny acts during break

[ZBroder]

you're an ass you're an ass

[moriad02]

Wow I thought it was fast and FRESH, that Ferrari news is a day old. And I think Derek D should suit up alot more, it looks good.

[KiTTGTR]

The fastlanedaily feed is avanging for the abusement :)

[clispe00]

i heart the show, heart derek d but mr d, u gotta stop with the punching the fast lane daily/feed thingie, it was funny the first few times u did it but kinda gettin annoying now but i still admire that u try to keep it fast and fresh everyday!

[comedicd]

nah man, we do it differently everyday, the day we can't think of something new, is the day we stop! just go with the flow bro

[Cole6223]

Wow, that looks like part of a test specimen from a tensile testing machine. The grippers on those can make the end feel like a file. Is the thin end all jagged? If so that's definitely it.

[mrjost55]

good episode, I liked your acting lol :D

[carsismeZ06]

Hey, here's an idea, start off the show by saying "Hi, I'm Derek D and this is Fast Lane Daily" Quit the "look-how-funny-I-am" and the stuttering.

[comedicd]

i'll take those notes into consideration!

[carsismeZ06]

seriously though, simpler is better...

I have no idea what I'm talking about. You're the expert, I can't stand in front of classmates for 3 minutes...

[juukyuu7666]

Derek, after what Bob Lutz did, you should get the first Solstice...

As far as Fisker getting money from venturing capitalists... I know where he can get some. A couple months ago I met a couple guys who fundraised over 200 million in 18 months, ridiculous.

[PANESAR101494]

NO MORE G8 :(

[M2992]

The casual Derek D.

[rawls3183]

how in the f did that get in there? Maybe someone doesnt like you derek?

[spitfire60]

it's karma getting back at him for the feedal abuse :P

[AntoDamico]

best fast lane daily made!

[itsTiLER]

what kind of kid is going to drive a buick? the least they could do is make it a caddy or give GMC a car finally

[sweetaction69]

well if they brought back the grand national with a gnx version i would be all over buick!

[mynameisnotalfredo]

I miss Pontiac. Forget you Buick!!!!

[cusinndzl]

Me too.

[2wheels4life420]

Nice a file!!! Reminds me of when i got a whole razorblade in my rear tire of my motorcycle!!! crazy stuff!!!

[hockeynpolo]

Why does F1 have so many rules and regulations that hinder technology development of these cars? I've heard of them capping HP on the cars. I've heard of them stopping engine development and wanting to "focus" more on aerodynamics. And now they're putting a cap on how much the car company can spend in a season? Talk about communism.

[Karto86]

hockeynpolo- It`s beacuse it`s to God damn expensive;)

[bottomlayer]

It's a GOOD thing

this way, the one with the most TALENT will win, the one with the best engineering and best driving

Now the victory can't be bought

what's so bad about that?

And besides, who has more than 40M to blow during a depression?

[jcarcobaltss]

Buick makes tons of money for GM over in Asia. Where as Pontiac isn't making money anywhere. Hence the reason they are keeping Buick. Also just an FYI Buick ranked #1 in JD power for quality, beating out Lexus.

[torkil86]

Crazy Bastard!

[evo8bear]

oops, meant to say 'was at the bahrain circuit'

[evo8bear]

that f1 footage was and the bahrain circuit, i was there! it as awsome!

[bottomlayer]

Yeah, GM is stupid

they should've kept Pontiac

and axed Buick

IDIOTS!!!!!!!!

[Janusha]

They should have made..... Proper cars.. Period.

[74bajista]

Hahaha ... indeed.

[cbtorneros]

lol fake out "feed" banner.

"de-FILED" that was hallarious Derek and dman that whole thing was in there? Geez!

[ashetie]

the graphic should whip out a gun and shoot dd and someone else should finish the show, that would be GREAT

[TripleZ89]

Doen't DDs car only have a tire repair kit, no spare? That is why he had to be towed. Also with a file that big, yikes!

[brownie8519]

Good show..love the energy..very entertaining

[YAGO323]

Kill buick. KILL KILL KILL

[bottomlayer]

you were speeding and they threw spikestrips under your tires

haha

[phatmatt2000]

i don't mean to be a kiss ass but i just want to thank derek d for lightening my day just by being there. i know he's only doing his job but ... thank you derek d.

[comedicd]

[BRudy87]

I wanna see a 2 door Astra with a higher output engine. Bring it back to the old days of Class B rallying, will ya?

[Squabenphlaben]

Oh, what a joke.

[Lex89]

That metal file must of came from that GM factory Derek visited its probably shut down since Pontiac is no longer going to exist

[sspope]

Just speaks for its build quality.

[comedicd]

wow you couldn't be more wrong

[epicxbread]

That new Vauxhall Astra looks nice.

[bro5b]

eat it!!!

[SvenX13]

Having a spare in the truck instead a donut may do some good to you next time Derek, save you a buck or two. *thumbs up and a smile*

[ndyt]

Ditch the spare and get run-flats.

[mrjost55]

run flats are crap, the rubber is made out of a harder materiual and they have a stronger sidewall which makes a really bumpy ride. I would stay away from runflats.

[ndyt]

mrjost55, they can make the tread out of any rubber grade they want no matter what the sidewall. I have been using them for 5 years on my Vette with great results. I wouldn't go back. All Vettes come with them and they are some of the best breaking and handling cars in the world. My '99 stops from 60 in 106 feet.

[pretty00lights]

did u just call a vette one of the best handling cars in the world? ....leafsprings....

[ndyt]

pretty00lights, you cant set the world record at the Ring without good handling. Even the GT-R can't beat its time.

[lilcow418]

exactly

[ImRichRu]

idiot.

[PardonMyZinger]

composite transverse leafsprings (one for the rear.. one at the front) that are not only lighter then conventional coil springs, but significantly more expensive to make. Other advantages include reducing weight up high in the car making the center of gravity lower which in turn improves handling. I believe in the Vette they are also used as part of the anti-roll system as well. I say this as somebody who has studied them at university, and not as a Vette fanboi... would rather have a BMW M3 tbh

[yimig]

dude run-flats suck

[ndyt]

yimig, the ZR1 and ZO6 have them, so do they suck?

[shadowbaby]

the newer viper ditched the run flats and it supposedly made a fare difference in road holding

[ndyt]

shadowbaby, well, i googled and couldn't find anything to support your position. If they decreased the Vette performance then GM would have dropped them. The ZR1 holds the world record on the Nuremberg Ring with run-flats.

[shadowbaby]

if you look into it the 2008+ vipers run Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires before that it was equipped with run flats i don't mind run flats on a commuter car but the tires just aren't as grippy

[ndyt]

shadowbaby, then how do you explain the Vette's grip? If using run-flats would make a Vette better they would use them in a heartbeat.

[shadowbaby]

no because they aren't going for a no holds bar fast car it would make the car faster to remove the interior ac and stereo but they don't because at the end of the day its not a race car its a fast daily driver for old 50+ dudes that don't like changing tires at the side of the road

[ndyt]

shadowbaby, it is just magic that it has the world record at the Ring that even the GT-R tried and failed to beat?

[shadowbaby]

sorry but the Viper ACR 7:22.1 is faster then that unofficial record you also got the radical SR8 6:55 and various others

[ndyt]

shadowbaby, so? It couldn't have such a good time if it had shitty tires.

[yimig]

so your saying that run flats are the best tires to put on a performance car. I would rather just have a full size spare. and u would want one too if you have ever had to ride on a spare tire on the interstate

[ndyt]

yimig, supercars don't have room for any type of spare tie. If they dont have runflats then they have a can of fix-a-flat. I will take my runflats (even the Vette doesn't have room for any type of spare).

[bottomlayer]

I thought he didn't have a spare

[comedicd]

is no spare in my new car...it comes with an electric air pump that has a built in canister of tire sealer...but obviously that wouldn't of done diddly to a whole gash in a tire that a metal file was still in

[CusackPresents]

A Fiat pwned Opel... would that mean it would break down twice as much and depreciate in value faster than GM stock price?

[bottomlayer]

Dodge Astra

[mariusz76a]

Dodge Astra Hemi 1.6

[bottomlayer]

Dodge Astra SRT-4

[coolerdude44]

sounds great except for the srt part.

[CusackPresents]

At the end of the day it's still an Astra... no matter how much you try you'll never be able to shine s**t up

[lemons17771]

actually mythbuster did shy shit but i get what you mean!

[pjdaprinz]

About the Astra:

"It's highest success were achieved in the British Touring Car Championship (see BTC-T Vauxhall Astra Coupe). Astra drivers took the first four ranking spots in 2001, the first three spots in 2002 and the first two in 2003 and 2004, thereby conquering the manufacturer's championship those four years."

Doesn't sound like s**t to me!

[JPacheco91]

When are we going to see Derek .D receving his car?

[victoronehugo]

that was like 15 chapters ago

[sspope]

Wasn't he in the GM's plant 15 chapters ago?

[azharmohammed0]

yes he was

[bottomlayer]

more like 11 chapters ago

haha

[purplepotion22]

Derek, your car deserves a permanent flat.

[JunknTunk]

Oh wow. Is that a new belt I see? - No Homo

[ndyt]

JunknTunk is a homo

[JunknTunk]

homo... erectus. Well, at least when your mom's around. =)

[siralexu]

Thats what you get for only making gas guzzling trucks GM

[SammySamff1]

Don't get defiled?

oh Derek....

[comedicd]

the joke was meant to be corny man

[SammySamff1]

yea I know.

[bmxmyway]

did you guys air the video of Derek getting his car?

[IDannyxss]

long time a go man

[cbkenison]

file left in the tire from gm plant maybe?

[bandcandy11]

whats his new car?

[axiomsolo]

2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP Coupe.

[derhausaholic]

How the hell are they gonna get rid of Pontiac and not Buick? GM deserves the ass rape it's getting...

[darles1118]

my shit hangs!!

[zanderesqueda]

cool
