Drove the Charger nice but I want a manual trans. Hence my gripe with the 6 only offering it on the base trim.

Indeed

He should've drove a Probe-

I care about speed records and lap-times because I enjoy talking about cars and often the conversation turns to high-performance vehicles, so I kind of geek-out on knowing that stuff. I guess it would be kind of like knowing the stats on any number of players/teams in a sport you follow. Does that stuff really matter…

I'm not crazy about the Panamera but I love this Tourer concept.

I was much younger then and didn't know those tricks, I've gotten the rear to step out of my Mazda3 a few times. Some on purpose, some not. :)

I thought I was going pretty fast, but maybe not I didn't want to do anything stupid. And the tires on those Coopers are pretty wide considering the size of the car.

I tried this once in college with my Mini Cooper S, I did not hit anything but certainly did not drift, just kept doing really tight turns. Oh well, it was still fun.

The verdict is out because the Mazda6 diesel is not out yet, so I am going to wait and see what it is all about.

Well, since Miata and E30 M3 are taken, I will go with a MKII GTI. Since the majority of drivers out there will be stuck with a FWD car for most of their life, it would be nice for them to know that FWD doesn't have to be boring.

I had run-flats on my '04 Cooper S. They were so loud, with the windows down it sounded like there was a swarm of bees around my car. The grip was not bad, but not as good as it could have been considering the handling limits of the Mini. I had to replace two tires in a short time including a rim, luckily I purchased…

All I'm saying is they should offer a manual in trims other than base.

Related- Fastest selling car in March was the Audi S6, spend an average of 8 days on the lot.

Brilliant!

As a Mazda3 owner, the new Mazda6 is tempting, but I am afraid I'm going to hold out to see what the verdict is on the diesel motor. It also doesn't help that Mazda won't sell you a manual unless you get the cheap-skate trim.

One of the more knowledgeable commentators said the GT40 wasn't a successful racecar until the MKIV which was an American design.

Yeah the GT40 was a "derp" on my part.

Can't escape...
