@Fast_Nel: In other news, the drivers of all vehicles sponsored by Castrol, Pennzoil and Lucas Oil Products just resigned...

Alfa Romeo 2uettotanta. Hopefully they drop the ridiculous unpronounceable name in favor of just "Spyder," but that's the only gripe I have. The car's so pretty I almost don't care about performance.

I can totally see myself buying one of these in four years when the free maintenance ends and the depreciation hammer has mauled resale values. Maintenance costs? I ain't afraid of no wrench!

Once LeMons is done, this car and Speedycop need to travel the country solving crimes and righting injustices on television. It's got to be the most hilariously terrible car ever, but it's just so damn epic. The interior just makes it better.

@TheSwagger: A modern, well-made Montecarlo / Scorpion with proper rustproofing? I could get on board with that in a heartbeat. I'll never be able to afford this Stratos, so all I can do is hope for something like that with some trickle-down technology.

The more I think about one particular aspect of this car, the more I love it. I love the gearing and the fact that they didn't sweat the top speed. Really, top speeds among supercars have become nothing but a penis-measuring contest. We've all seen the conditions necessary to top out a Veyron. Granted, that's the

@Mabrouk: There's only one way to describe that car: totally badass.

@Pessimippopotamus: I knew a guy who lost both legs at the hip in Vietnam who drove a '68 Shelby GT500 and a '67 Corvette 427. He had them both rigged with hand controls for the throttle and brake.

Holy CRAP. Pretty sure I would part with major limbs and / or organs for one of these.

@Mirageowner: Funny, I'm an LEO and the thing that scares me about this is the head-up-ass Crown Vic driver. We know teenagers in muscle cars drive like idiots from time to time. That's what the body kits and unpainted hoods and shouty paint jobs are. They're like a big placard indicating that the driver is a

@Slave2anMG: And that sums it right up. Well played.

@orbit: Been there. The look on a driver's face when they thought they were getting out of it but then realize I know they were retarded, it's going in the report that they're retarded, they're getting a ticket, and their insurance company is going to drop the hammer on them is PRICELESS.

@BrianMadigan: Ooh, forgot to nominate stanced-out Golfs. There seems to be a strong bro factor with those around here.

@Spiegel E. Coyote: So if a six-wheeled car rates "Mother of God," an EIGHT-wheeled car just straight up explodes your mind, right?

@Mack41: Depends on your reasons for buying it. Because it's a solid performance value for the money? You're good. Because it looks mad sick and you can get some dope body kits and rims and put a big-ass stereo on it and all the bitches will be ALL up on you in that ride, brah? You just created the Mustang

@eaglen: These Swedish bros (Volvbros?) say ja.

@Octomac: If this isn't comment of the day, there's no justice.

@formuladave: Umm.... a lot of folks think Hawthorn was doing just that. His Jag, the "Merceater," was heavily modified and Hawthorn (who had lost several family members in World War II and still had an axe to grind with the Germans) was known to brag that "no Kraut car could beat it."

Dunno where this happened but under Kansas law (and I imagine everywhere else in the civilized world,) the Crown Vic / Grand Marquis driver actually bears a substantial portion of the fault in this accident, as he did not properly yield to traffic already in the roadway before turning. Decent money the Mustang, at
