You're like me! I have a Miata for use in the rain. Of course we also have a 500 Abarth, for those days we need an SUV.

Thanks for sharing this concise and definitive explanation of sports car enthusiasm.

I'm very curious to hear how much punch the performance tune adds. I know that the Chevy Volt guys are getting some serious performance improvements through programming interventions; like 0 to 60 times in the 6 second range.

Excellent! I'll be pulling for them. That looked like a savage hit.

Ouch. Their race is over before it has even begun.

What a moron. I cycle commute and haguy people who bike through red lights. That gives the rest of us a bad name. (I like to catch and pass these guys after the light changes)

Completely different driving experience between the Abarth and the 500 Sport. I have an Abarth and was given a Sport as a loaner. The Sport is slow, but kinda fun in a slow-car-fast way for a little while. I'd never buy one. I want to buy Abarths for everyone I know. If I won the megahellalotto, I'd do just that.…

Yes, the B23x is one of my all time favorites. I don't have a strut bar on my car and don't miss it. I have other cars for hooning, so the Saab is mostly a comfy cruiser for me. Were I tracking this car or even hooning it heavily, I'd look at a strut bar and probably also one of those rear shock tower braces (the…

I've got a 9000 Aero, which uses the same driveline as the Viggen in a boxier Guigaroier body. I love the car and its violent passing power. It may only accelerate to 60 in the 6 second range, but it positively flies in third gear passing lines of cars on two-lanes.

Generally there is a couple of weekends of school. You're driving your car on track in the school, so it's fun. You then run with a novice tag on the back of your car for a couple of events while you're getting acclimated to the wheel to wheel track experience.

Well done! I hate seeing cars upside down on track, especially open wheel ones.

<ultrapedant>The first Fiat was imported to the United States in 1908. It was not until 1968 that the mid engine Dino 206 GT was sold that the public could buy a mid-engine Fiat. Although, technically, at the time Ferrari was not owned by Fiat.

In car CHUD; scary...

I think it looks great. The view of the dash and driver's hands is interesting. I wonder if that will be distracting. Can't wait to play it and see!

I think you're doing well. Jalopnik has a creative personality again. For a while it seemed a little too 'publish-or-perish'. I realize site metrics are the end all and be all of the web business, you've managed to meet those needs while also giving the site a good feel.

The guy they rescued has a daughter named "Chardonnay Hooker". I was unable to process anything else after reading that name.

Bookmark deleted. That site has been marginal for a while. I'll give my views to less stupid sites. Perhaps minxy Murilee will find a more worthy place for her junkyard treasures.

I'm a cyclist. I ride Roubaix and am an avid climber; I'd love to ride with these guys. While I am middle aged, I don't think I'm a candidate for an MI. While they might leave me on the climb, I'd be back on 'em in the descent. I'm a bigger cyclist I carry a bit more weight than I should because I curl in the dark…

Cyclist was riding on the edge of the road. Motorbike lunkhead target fixated right into the back of him. The admittedly properly attired operator of the motorbike needs to thank the cyclist for saving him from a potentially worse crash.

This is hilarious. You need to photoshop the airborne cyclist onto a motorbike.
