@OA 5599: Whose 356 is this? At first I thought it was Janis Joplin's, but Google images confirmed it's not.

@Rock517: Why not? He drove a hemi powered 300 back in Chicago. He clearly likes rear drive v8 sedans.

Not redneck enough, needs more leashless wolf-looking dogs.

@snapoversteer 'bout to get told: People need to live their paycheck and not their credit limit.

@ThreeLitre: It's the official tattoo of the Cheese Eating Surrender Monkeys LeMons team; we kick it nerdcore. There are 5 of us with it. I got the idea about 10 years ago and then finally went for it with two other Monkeys. Here's our blog post about getting inked.

Magnets? Pah!

@Bret:

@FTGDWolverineEdition'10: I think I've curled with them. Too much Fireball clouding the memories...

In case of rapture, this CTS-V will be occupied.

@TR3-A: Exactly. I walk by the Seattle Tesla dealership every day going to and from work. I want one desperately. If I ever get one, I will perform my eco duty by hooning the everliving snot out of it on a daily basis. You know, just to set a good example.

This is where the EV crowd should be focusing their efforts. Give me a machine that is green and will make poo come out whenever it is driven fast and you'll have the hoons beating a path to your door.

I'll take one in black. Then I'll go M3 hunting.

Failure CR-Z

@Ray Wert: Extra kudos if you can get kicked out of an event for snoring or yawning loudly.

Nice stool samples.

Jalopnik, Fuck Yeah!

I have to admit that I'm seriously impressed. This by far surpasses my expectations. I really like the styling, even the hard to not make look weird the Alfa 156-esque back door handle treatment.

Thanks for the excellent article Sam. It's a sad day for this Saab guy.
