Driving the snot out of your vehicle when the engine and fluids are still cold, drives me nuts when people do that.

That's good for your personal preferences, but there's plenty of us that wont even consider a car unless it has a manual transmission, myself being one of them.

Of course I have, but its still not a dual clutch or manual option, which I think should at least be offered on a car like this.

Its still a torque converter automatic, so technically yes it is a slushbox.

Still an 8 speed slushbox? How about a manual option Lexus...

Kind of sad to see the LS7 go, although it lives on in the Z/28, I wish they had kept the Z06 N/A.

Saw -26 celcius yesterday in Calgary, which is fairly normal for this city, supposed to be +5 celcius today, damn you chinooks!

My BRZ is parked for winter, solely because I have a 1994 AWD Impreza Wagon for winter.

Ferrari Fteenthousandths of a second saved with clever tricks

Thanks, just ordered some KWs off them, saved almost $400 of normal pricing!

Anyone see any good deals on aftermarket parts for BMW 135i? Mostly looking for suspension stuff.

Huh, I was just watching this yesterday on youtube. Seeing snow on the ground at Tsukuba makes me wonder how cold the track was and how much better the lap times could have been on a warmer day, as I am sure those cars are down on grip.

I'm heading out to Mt. Norquay access road to log that, as well as highway 1A west of Calgary. Those should prove to be very fun tracks!

Hoping for a 2.8L Diesel 4X4 Crew Cab Manual Transmission Z71 for around $35K out the door here in Canada in a few years!

The BMW sure is an all time favorite for me, the Lexus puts up a good fight though. I like how the Lexus in manual mode doesn't seem to upshift and downshift on its own.

Looks like a bland mini Legacy with a somewhat tarted up front end. Disappointment, Subaru better not give us some BS "updated EJ25" engines either...

My ugly, rusted, fuel leaking, nearly bald tire-ed, rebuilt title $1000 Subaru Impreza L Wagon is more fun to drive every day than my $37000 380HP BMW for various reasons. The Subaru has more playful handling with the way it has been set up, its cheap and I don't have to worry about it getting ruined, it looks goofy,…

God I want a Vette so bad, working for GM I can order one for invoice pricing, but I just don't have that kind of budget right now...

I picked up a 1994 Subaru Impreza L Wagon on Sunday for $1000. 2.2L engine out of a 1998, 2005 WRX suspension, rear diff/subframe and disc brakes out of a Forester S, no rear sway bar. Its not fast but its not slow and its a hoot to throw around with a little left foot braking, and it keeps the miles of my newer BMW.

We do not get the option here for those. Every BMW wagon in Canada is xDrive and automatic it seems. I wish I could have bought a 123d like over in Europe instead of my 135i.
