@hvrock13: Ban automatics and watch the accident rate plummet.

@curlypaul924: Interesting... I have never seen such a thing, but anything is possible. But even in ghetto-sledding, the Five Hundred is surely outshined by the 300C.

@Buzzboy7: I say IOE is a slam dunk if that thing completes ten laps.

This thread was made for the Ford Five Hundred / Mercury Montego twins. Introduced five years ago and already basically forgotten.

To shamelessly steal someone else's comment on that Olds-engined, chopped VW squareback from NPOCP about a week ago:

@robai: $500 or not, they're showing up to an ACTUAL MOTORSPORTS EVENT in what has to be the most hilariously terrible car ever conceived. There's no way this abomination against God and science will be anything more than a rolling chicane. The $500 limit was put in place to prevent competitors from buying victories

@juicysushi: At present it's running about 11% NP. I'm guessing it's about 4% hopelessly deluded folks and 7% people screwing with the numbers and trolling us into wondering who could be voting NP for this thing.

I'd rather have the Boxster, and for the price I could probably have two. This is headed for an epic CP walloping. I did my part.

@therealmusashi: Yeah, pretty much exactly like that. Let's have some achievements before we start falling all over ourselves to crown The Next Big Thing.

And yet it's already the car of the year. Hate to overuse this photo but it keeps fitting.

The only way I could induce oversteer in GT4 was to lift in the middle of a turn. Here's hoping they've made it to where overzealous throttle application on exit and other such things gets your tail out of shape in this one, or there are going to be sixteen GT5 gamers picking their teeth out of the Armco at

@dmoon: I think it's his blood type. Type A, Rh+.

Triumph Spitfire minus a good portion of the British Leyland crapulence, plus a good dose of horsepower and Miata reliability, with only 48,000 miles for $6,000? Yes please.

Hey BMW, hire her. That would bring me Joy, if you insist on sticking with that silly ad campaign.

That's actually a pretty cool nod to history.
