“Sorry, just sold it man! But we got a Mustang GT in the back if you like sporty.”

I met the Wrapify guys at some car event a few months ago. They were super nice guys. They offered to wrap the Million Mile Lexus (which as of this writing has 935,000 miles) with a Castrol High Mileage ad, and based on the accumulated miles on that car and the ongoing road trips, I could have made a fuckton of cash,

The V-8 SHO is probably the greatest case of “excellent engine, shitty car.” That’d actually make for an interesting QOTD - “What awful car had a great engine?”

In fact, whatever happened to QOTD/AOTD?

Actually, I live in a particularly snooty part of Chicago whose neighborhood committee (which I am NOT a member of) would never so much as allow a Jamba Juice regional manager within three miles of our newly-landmarked neighborhood.

The TVR Cerbera’s alien heart for sure. I love that TVR overdesigns everything.

Actually, all the issues were pre-snow plow. Since then, it has run perfectly! I think this means the snow plow use FIXED it!

“This turned out to be exactly what I and many others suspected: there was a small rock caught between the brake rotor and the backing plate”

You have to wonder about the charging port... specially after the ginormous automated snake charger.

No exhaust pipe, no Tesla fun time!

I think this guy needs to log off for a while

It’s almost like it’s built for actual driving on actual roads!

Americans like their crossovers.

Sweet car, awesome story to hear someone bringing one of these back from the dead. Only issue for me is that monster truck ride height. I am not a “stance nation” fan, but this could use a healthy 2" drop, in my opinion.

um, turbochargers HAVE to suck*...how else are they going to get all that air in.

I can’t begin to count the number of times I’ve heard this, from men and women, young and old: “I’m not into cars, but I love Top Gear.” If it didn’t serve as a gateway drug for cars, it at least helped the normals understand us enthusiasts a little bit.

Actually Chris you are the reason why I care about Cars.

It's even better if you read that comment in Chief Wiggum's Voice

I haven't read a piece that engaging since Henry Chadwick's "Discourse On Fielding Percentages As A Matter Of Base Ball Aptitude." Back then, if a sporting news analysis didn't run at least 15,000 words, we demanded our nickel back.

I'll read it again on my daily monorail route tomorrow.
