I skipped right to the comments. Why? Reading about a shitty old Schwinn is in no way interesting. Buy a vintage Litespeed or something remotely interesting, and I might be vaguely interested, but .... dude. You probably paid for that bike writing this column. Next, you’ll be trying to interest us in some old beat up…

Most taxi drivers are contractors and yet somehow Jalopnik never had issue with that either. 

I actually had an S1 Exige in the US back in 2000 that I bought new out of Germany. Long story, but I had it here 2-Years, it was a gray-import and not fully legal, I shipped it back to Germany to sell in 2002. I would buy it again in a minute and plan to put one in the garage when the 25 year rule comes around. I…

Different strokes. Per my post below. The back seats are perfectly usable, I use them all the time. My expectations may be different. I went DCT, which I know is sacrilege, but I’ve had and have plenty of manuals and prefer the DCT for a DD. I love it. Steering is fine, but not sure what you are coming from. It’s very…

My kids are small adult sized, so no car seats. It’ll fit them until they can drive. We are rarely running 4-deep in the M2. Have a family SUV for that. Love the M5, but it’s massive. I like smaller footprint cars, and in absolute terms, the M2 is not small. It can easily seat 4 adults. Of course, we also roll 4-deep…

M2 Comp owner here. As a reliable comfortable DD that doubles as a track car, there really is nothing at this price point that compares other than a GT350. With a little track prep <$5K, you can also easily run ahead of or with all the cars on your list. It’s also a new car. I have Cup2's a 550HP tune ($2k),…

I tried to run that search.

Wow, agree to disagree there. That’s a weird hot take. I’m curious what your ideal car is.

Cool. Cool. I didn’t realize that a little basket ridicule would trigger folks who can’t handle cascades of macho-sweat all over their well-tanned red-blooded American bodies. When I bike, my bulging thighs glisten off my sleek carbon frame, while my hip commuter backpack soaks in my man-moisture and my big…

God invented backpacks so that no red-blooded American would ever have to put a basket on a bike.

Nope. Totally wrong analogy. This is more like trying to delay the inevitable. Death is knocking, and we think that just hiding will make it go away. It’s just waiting for us. It’s unknown and unlikely that we actually saved anyone. They will just die later. Best that we just get to it then. That’s Sweden’s tradeoff,…

I’m down. 

As a lover of power tools and especially angle grinders (sparks!!), that video just pained me. Use the right tool for the right job!!!!

Yeah man. I love it. I like it a lot better than ruining an old classic, or someone trying to make a Safari Fiat Abarth in their backyard. I actually don’t like all the homebuilt safari crap. I love this. This is serious, and screw the Ruf Rodeo. That thing is terrible. This. This is hardcore fun.

Agreed. Lambo seems to be having the most fun with it, so I totally get why their owners are into it. I would even say they are the most ‘self aware’ of super car makers. Ferrari, by contrast, is probably the least self aware.

Fun fact: BMWCCA won’t let the X6 or X5 M’s on the track at BMW club track days, so they better be more practical cuz they sure as hell aren’t track cars. I actually like em. I’d never buy em, there are too many better options for any intended purpose, but I still like that they exist. 

or, 3) Leave it at home or at a boarding home. Pretty much what almost everyone has done with most of their animals since the history of flight.

I bought a new 1997 Integra Type-R in 1997 off the lot at the Acura dealer in Burlington, VT. These cars were selling at a premium in TX in CA even then, but ... not in VT. I loved that car, and promptly spent big $$$ on quality upgrades. JUN Cams, JUN Header, JDM front end, Sparco seats. Don’t judge, I was living…
