Wait. It's not?

maybe they mean it more literally?

yes, but the blood and spooge apparently wipe right off.

If you limit the award to just new models how many options would you have in a given year? Sometimes a redesign completely changes the character of the car and those redesigns deserve consideration, but I don't think minor yearly updates should be eligible.

Small complaint over the math, but you should also include a number for mileage for a fleet of 44 STIs transporting 219 people (hint, multiply the STI's value x 2). If you don't need to make the round-trip (to take them in "your" car) the mileage is way better.

Seriously. I thought this article was for serious until I saw the picture of the unicorn and the "diesel wagon"

If the body is as indestructible as my hot wheels were (not the axles, those always broke) then it could be a bargain.

That just looks like a carnival to me :)

or you have a safe search filter turned on (which I think it is by default)

Oh, is that all it is? Just the same audio calibration as home theater systems?

Alan (or anyone really, I just wanted to say "Alan"),

Well it isn't vanilla anymore. It actually has some character -whether or not this is the good kind of character though is a different story. It still isn't for me.

I'm assuming the "it" you're talking about is diesel?

Yes, exactly. Only you said it much more eloquently than I could have :)

maybe he couldn't afford the insurance?

How did he even get the car off the lot? Most dealers here won't let you drive off the lot without some proof of insurance.

A few of the other comments called it a kit, I was referring to them. When I go back and read through the comments again though, there aren't as many people calling it a kit as I originally thought.

Please, guys, don't call this a kit. He custom built just about everything and calling it a kit does a huge disservice to this accomplishment.

Does this open the door to (more) cars with 4 wheel steering? (I think I remember a few trucks with this a few years ago but I can't remember hearing anything more recently)
