  • holygram, on 10/10/2007, -77/+12What a loser.
    • fribhey, on 10/10/2007, -13/+5i don't know why you are being dug down.... the car is stupid
    • nickgarvey, on 10/10/2007, -8/+6If you don't think that is awesome, I think you are on the wrong site.
    • Flare, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2I concurr with this statement. Why is this a must see? It's a freaking car with adds on them, why is that suddenly cool because they happen to be of Firefox?
  • wrestlingnrj, on 10/19/2007, -26/+125Too bad they used a celica. I would think Firefox would be able to get a much better car to use for shows.
    • bossm4n, on 10/10/2007, -3/+72And if someone wants to make an IE themed ride, I suppose they might use a 1972 AMC Gremlin.
      • knetworx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Nope, IE used a Geo. Only problem is, the driver got a late start because the car assumed he didn't know how to drive it, and tried to protect him from himself. Then of course it couldn't get up to speed, but it still somehow managed to crash on the way to the show.
    • SonicRush, on 10/10/2007, -5/+92Really. I mean they charge so much for Firefox, you'd think they could at least get a Lambo or something.
      • ThreeDee912, on 10/10/2007, -61/+4Firefox is a free download...

        EDIT: Oh wait, sarcasm. Nevermind. You can bury this now... :(
        • cococooky, on 10/10/2007, -29/+0I think he knows that.
          • cococooky, on 10/10/2007, -25/+0I got in before your edit
          • colto, on 10/10/2007, -11/+3Will anyone see this comment? I feel that I have it well buried with the comments that were posted above ;)
          • getrealnow, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13I see all
          • GawtMilk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6FireFox makes millions each year. They've got a deal with Google, they share ad revenue when people use the Google search at the top right.
    • MikeDirntRulez, on 10/10/2007, -2/+45Seriously, when I saw "sports car" the last thing I pictured was a Celica.
      • mem2, on 10/10/2007, -16/+4cry me a ***** river. Its a pimped out celica, so its not "car model u think is good" big deal.
        • BlakeEM, on 10/10/2007, -5/+19FWD = not sports car as far as I'm concerned.
          • rootstyle, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14FWD isn't a sports car as far as *anyone* is concerned. Similarly sports cars cannot have automatic transmissions, another point lost on a lot of kids today.
          • Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Amen. FWD = fail on handling. I've out handled reasonable well riced out civics and ***** in a bad handling RWD car. I mean, a wheel can onldy do so much, and don't even get me started on Manual vs Auto. The few kids I do see these days with manuals think they're cool cause they can make the tires chirp when shifting. Little do they know it's just cause they're bad at operating a manual.
          • BlakeEM, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2Hey I got an auto, with some cars auto is faster than the manual (with my car, a Toyota supra, this car has an awesome automatic trans and is faster than the manual). No delay between shifts and faster acceleration, faster to red line. This is mostly only useful in a straight line though. Also I can drive in San Diego traffic without going nuts. Don't underestimate a good automatic transmission, it blows away anything a human can do with a manual.
        • linoth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Umm.. for the record? That thing is ***** hideous. I cried when I saw the latest Celica generation, and that thing is so buried by stickers that clash with the paint as to make you gag.
          Stickers, decals, and bad taste will only get women laughing at your car.
          A little good taste and careful design will have much better success.

          Learn it a weep, ricer.
      • g00ee, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1"Firefox Rice Rocket" would have been more appropriate.
    • PRlME, on 10/10/2007, -9/+23IE=Pontiac Aztech
      FF=STI Impreza
      Op=BMW M5
      • carcrazy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+8I think Firefox should be rolling around on a Corvette Z06 body, but then, my opinion is a little biased.
      • ninja0, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2hahaha good comparison . aztech... haha...
      • daggah, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3As a Subaru WRX driver, I agree with this statement. :D
        • dclowd9901, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3He said STI, chump. You lose again.
      • pasta2000, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0IE would be better represented by the Ford Pinto.
        If you are wondering why, read the first line under Safety Problems at Wikipedia. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Pinto
    • schlottj, on 10/10/2007, -5/+10its a nice car, and there are alot of words you could have used to describe it but, sports car its not
      • sulf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Don't know why you are being dugg down. Ricing the ***** out of a 4-cylinder car doesn't make it a sports car.
        • dclowd9901, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1The aforementioned STI is a flat four, and I guarantee it'd beat any RWD in 0-60, and most in 0-100.
        • rootstyle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1*Any* RWD? Like a Ferrari or a Lambo or even a 2008 M3 (4.2s 0-62)? No. I don't think so.
          0-100mph? Even more far fetched, these overstrung i4s always fall off once you start comparing higher speeds.
    • Antwan718, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2They should have used the new challanger with the 6.1L hemi or the new camaro wit the LS2 botha them have the sexy orange ;)
    • kali25, on 10/19/2007, -8/+4I own and love my 2001 GTS Celica. And I call it a sports car. It is only 180hp but it does the job just fine.
      • LegendOfLink, on 10/10/2007, -4/+4Celica's are slow-balls entry level compact cars.

        Last time I checked that doesn't fit the definition of sports car. Should've gotten a Vette or Viper.
        • foss3, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1The Celica GTS has a 4 cylinder 1.8 liter engine that revs to about 9k RPM. Combined with 6-speed MT it's definitely a sports car. It's not a MUSCLE car, but if you think it's a "slow-balls entry level compact car", you are a ***** retard with a tiny penis and you certainly have NEVER driven one. (You probably don't even know how to work a clutch).

          I bet it's a lot faster than your car.
        • Ricky8765, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1It is not a sports car... Go look at an S2k, M3, Vette, or Z and then try to tell me that a celica belongs in the same classification as those wonderful pieces of machinery.

          And just a hint: it doesn't
      • g00ee, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1My Chevy Malibu has more horespower than that, and no I do not call it a sports car. (just kidding I don't have a chevy malibu)
  • oneoverzero, on 10/10/2007, -5/+523The IE car must have crashed.
    • Bricks, on 10/10/2007, -4/+145You can crash the Firefox car if you jerk the wheel enough; except it teleports you out before impact, and automatically reassembles itself.
      • h4mx0r, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19Then teleports you back to your last known session! I mean, location!
      • svivian, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17And the Opera car does the same, except that it did it 5 years earlier ;)
        • Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4Don't say that, the linux kiddies who think that firefox is the only browser will digg you down. Seriously, I started using Opera about 6 years ago when I was a Java developer, I've never looked back. It is by far the most feature complete browser out there. The subtle nuances in its operation make all the difference in the world.
      • je12u, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Just like the Wraith
    • RoyHobbs, on 10/10/2007, -11/+4Brilliant!
    • Sino, on 10/10/2007, -15/+2The IE Car couldn't start
    • Sino, on 10/10/2007, -19/+1The IE car couldn't start
    • InvisibleKid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+40Yeah, and the Safari car is still having it's paint job done
    • userini, on 10/10/2007, -2/+35Too bad they didn't show the lynx unicycle
    • over90000, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9you must have missed this story.

    • IEatHamburgers, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6You haven't seen nothing until you've seen the Netscape car... http://girtby.net/images/homer-car.gif
      Oddly enough, the engine is identical to the one in the Firefox Celica
    • Tobeman, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3The IE6 car was left unlocked, and consequently got broken in to... and then was defaced with penis enlargement and viagra adverts.
    • quentinp, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1The Blazer car has almost no windows and can't usually finish a race.
    • asvasv, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7The IE car was based on Vista and had some driver issues ;-)
    • Flare, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1In soviet Russia, Firefox drives you!
    • picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Meanwhile the el CAMINO low rides on down the street
  • bullsfan03, on 10/10/2007, -3/+96How's he supposed to drive with that huge sticker on the windshield?
    • 89vision, on 10/10/2007, -2/+180Yeah, he needs adblock plus
    • wisie, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1Turns out its just a show car
    • soupnrc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22Ask Ricky Bobby
      • ahoyhoy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Frenchie Le Pleu in the IE Car!
      • Superflks, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3This sticker is very dangerous but I do love Fig Newtons!
    • schlottj, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0those are probably removable vinyl stickers
    • Dylan47, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Its most likely that material that allows you to see through it in one direction but not the other, my P plates are made of the same stuff. until they made it illegal to use plates that stick the window in Australia =/
    • jman2807, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6That sticker is dangerous and inconvenient but I do love firefox.
  • Bricks, on 10/10/2007, -6/+126Fastest car I've ever driven, and love how my windshield blanks out all the billboards on the freeway.
    • insinuate, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6haha. I can't digg this comment up enough. cheers.
    • Noceous, on 10/10/2007, -0/+35Only downside is it leaks gas like a sieve
    • schlottj, on 10/10/2007, -12/+3i c wut u did thair
    • HigherLogic, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11You've obviously never driven the Opera car ;)
      • KWhat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1The only browser Firefox beats in speed and memory at startup is IE. Seamonkey and Opera both smoke Firefox when it comes to speed and memory consumption. I can browse to 5 pages on either browser faster than Firefox can load digg.
        • Twelve-60, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3digg has horrible loading times... with all the ajax for this comment system I even get loading timeout errors if I open enough
  • ThreeDee912, on 10/10/2007, -2/+17More info:

  • nairbil, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1How do you drive a car with two giant Firefox stickers on the windshield?
    • calibration, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2Pedals and steering wheel perhaps?
    • schlottj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0ya dont forget u roll up your vinyl window stickers and toss them in your backseat
    • jhshukla, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21. remove stickers
      2. drive
      3. park
      4. stick stickers

  • whymanwhy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+68Watch out for Mozilla's next car, the Thunderbir....
    • FortyCaliber, on 10/10/2007, -8/+2Hmm wut sort of lawsutes shuld we half if ther wuz a thunderbird car?

      That took longer to type than real English.
      • whiskeymb, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6It also took longer to read then real English.
  • NeonElixir, on 10/10/2007, -12/+6Cool for Firefox, lame for the car.
  • NessTheHero, on 10/10/2007, -4/+83Does it leak large amounts of gas?
    • zephc, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3No, it runs on rice
    • mucnix, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1No, just memory.
    • Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7It doesn't leak gas, the horsepower and torque just steadily decrease until you have to pull over, turn it off, and turn it back on.
    • PRlME, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1@ NessTheHero and Spuy767
      lol only true geeks know what your talking about there
  • MagicCake, on 10/10/2007, -21/+40T-shirts, crop circles, now a car... Stop it! Just stop it! It's a ***** web browser! I know it's nice, I use it too, but COME ON.
  • itskarangarg, on 10/10/2007, -7/+0Mirror: http://www.BhejaFry.net/digg/firefox.html
  • jayyoung, on 10/10/2007, -2/+44It probably runs well for a while, then starts to slow everything else down until eventually you need to shut it down and restart it to make it run properly again.
  • TheHayze, on 10/10/2007, -18/+5Opera > Firefox. Hands down. And digg me down, too guy. Because I know you will.
    • ElectricGrandpa, on 10/10/2007, -6/+4I can't digg you down because I agree :)
  • taitacakes, on 10/10/2007, -13/+2Why did they decal up a sports car? It gives the false impression that Firefox is a fast browser.

    ** Used to be an avid Firefox fan but moved to Opera about 6 months ago and never looking back.
    • insinuate, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2whoop de freakin do
      • taitacakes, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Wow, quickly dugg down. Entirely valid statement.
        I used to be one of you fanboys, but even before the extensions I loaded it up with, its the slowest boot of all popular browsers.
        • schlottj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0you probablyH got dugg down cus you called a celica a sports car, in reality its a crappy econo-chic car
    • osbjmg, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Because it's a celica, not a "sports car" anyway.

      front wheel drive
      skinny tires
      BLEH.

      it does handle decent and is pretty light though, fun to drive
  • cuoops, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/cuoops/firefox_cat.jpg
    • shawnanigans, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I wish I was that cat. My back would probably be less hairy too.
  • staffrocket, on 10/10/2007, -12/+1LEAVE BRITNEY SPEARS ALONE!
    • patrickewen, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1If you dont have anything sensible to say, dont bloody say anything at all. ffs.
  • novaneil, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1@nerditup ITS NOT A WAGON
  • zyklon, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7Where can I get that extension?
  • Mc_Carter, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2Those stickers are dangerous and inconvenient but I do love Firefox.
  • KolosoK, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1Mc_Carter stole my comment. How do you drive with those stickers blocking the view? hehe.
  • frederoil, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9you'd never see someone with an internet explorer car.
  • idc5, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23i wouldn't really consider a riced out celica a sports car...
  • GuitarMC, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21I am all for firefox, but a Celica is not a sports car.
  • sspooner, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Not even vaguely a sports car.
  • zango, on 10/10/2007, -12/+6wow a car with firefox on it!!!!!! who cares..nerds.
  • TheBigBad, on 10/10/2007, -8/+7NOT a must see - buried.
  • IIIKrazyKiDDIII, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Install fasterfox extension and it should gain a couple horsepower.
    • Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Bah, that's like a K&N Airfilter. Switch to Opera, and you've got a whole new engine.
  • Sil369, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3Looks like an elephant just took a dump.
  • xquizit, on 10/10/2007, -5/+1where are the add-ons?

  • swordedge, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3When I first saw the picture, I was wondering if it was a race car for some class of racing that I've never heard of. No, just a gaudy car.
  • CbME, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Yuck
  • jbschusty, on 10/10/2007, -7/+4gay
    • DCUK, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3We don't want to know your sexual preference, but thanks for letting us know anyway.
  • oatmealsnap, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2is that a Celica i see under all those stickers? I think it is...
    hot!
  • IceZZ, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Typical for open source... all show and no go. The Celica GT is a not a sports car, it is a sporty coupe. Real sports cars do 0-60 mph in less than 5.5s, and typically have 300+ HP.
    • TechCF, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1You don't know what's under the hood :)
      • IceZZ, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Except with a Celica, you don't care what is under the hood. ;)
    • psykiv, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Your definition of "sports car" sucks. Under your definition, my 4-door sedan is considered a sports car, which it is definitely not.
    • Spuy767, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I "allegedly" have 276 Hp, but I can bang out 4.7 0-60 in street trim.
    • b3nj4m, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0It's a show car, not a race car...
  • FreakyD, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I hope there's an update soon
  • DejectedRobot, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2Screw everyone dissing the Celica. I own one.... -_-
    • kali25, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Amen brother. I love my Celica, any faster and I would be getting tickets all the time. So a 300hp street car is useless. The Celica is just right!
      • mhender, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1That's like saying you're proud of your 4 inch dick because of the fact that in the vagina the first 4 inches contain all of the nerve endings. Many girls will beg to differ that 4 inches is 'just right.'
      • wrestlingnrj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1so STi's and EVO VIII's are useless now? (and anything else that happens to be fast or have a lot of power)
  • bangmalley, on 08/30/2008, -1/+1the car will become very slow when it goes to digg.
  • rnd1, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I've gotta need for firefox speed
  • kevyn, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2does this mean its also free?
  • pizzaface200, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3I wonder how tabbed browsing would work in it.
    • IEatHamburgers, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1When you pick a second destination, the car splits in half and drives to both of them
  • digitalblood, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3safety first :) must stop all popups cars
  • haentz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6That's not a sports car. That's a Toyota Cellica.
  • AuburnTigers, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0It's mostly decals, anyway.
  • caLt, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I guess we'll be seeing many "Top 10 firefox plugins for your car" posts in blogs in the near future....
  • jestho, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Wouldn't be too nice driving seeing that there are two giant stickers on the windshield. Nice car tho'
