@Matt Hardigree: Oh, good vehicles! Now I understand why none of the giant utility grill Audis made the list.

I'm not going to argue with the choices. I was surprised that the first US market WRX didn't make the list, as well as coyote ugly cars from VW and Audi that had the nightmare over-and-under grill design. They look like they crashed into Trane heat pumps. Also, I thought the Hyundai chosen was an Infinity G37 until I…

Gold trim on luxury cars is mercifully over. It was about as tasteful as facial piercing. I suspect giant NBA hoop wheels are close to being over too. They've been showing up on square old people's BMW M6s and Range Rovers here, making them about as avant garde as adult diapers. The fuel economy mandate will have…

@BrtStlnd: He burned it out of frustration after the detailers at the car wash ruined his matte paint job by waxing it and making it shiny.

Land Rover is currently fighting it out with Volkswagen and Mitsubishi for the title of making the worst cars sold in the US. I think they may even be winning. Not sure how that makes the current ones better than the last ones that at least made sense off road.

@powermatic: I wonder if the shares will really sell. Are memories that short? The WSJ article basically says that Tesla has been inflating their own estimated worth while their problems have been getting worse. These shares were valued at $6.67 internally not so long ago, and all they have now is more debt.

@CABEZAGRANDE: I wonder what happens when the housings are glowing and you splash into a river ford or mud hole. Could be dramatically bad.

@powermatic: Sorry about the duplicate post. When I tried to post it initially, I was asked to log in again, and then the post itself vanished into the ether. Reloading the page didn't bring it back, so I wrote it again.

@straight6: The point is that most of them never see 10,000 miles. Look at Ferrari classifieds. 6,000 is considered high mileage.

@powermatic: The document you linked to no longer exists. Maybe they're correcting their arithmetic. I have found other mentions of estimated 1.5 billion dollar market cap, but nothing with the weight of the WSJ. Seems pretty absurd when their fishing for less than 12% of that amount from new investors. Those…

@powermatic: The document you linked to no longer exists. Maybe they're fixing their arithmetic. I can find the words 'estimated market capitalization of 1.5 billion' in other, but completely incredible, sources. Seems silly when all they have are losses to go with their massive debts and GM's market cap last time…

Looks like we aren't the only country with insane farm subsidies. I lived in the Netherlands for 6 months, and I find these images hard to swallow. Dust getting kicked up in Holland? That place is a nasty swamp. I can't believe there is even a Dutch word for dry.

@zekestone: Ferraris aren't that high maintenance because most of them average dozens of miles a year rather than thousands. I've lived in many parts of the country, and I've only seen meaningful numbers of Ferraris on the road in the ones that have dealers. Coincidence?

@powermatic: Please explain your math. They're hoping to capitalize to the tune of 178 million. Divide that by 35 and multiply by 100(to keep Musk's imaginary 65% in play and avoid immediate default on the federal theft, I mean loan) and you're looking at a market cap of half a billion. That is less than their…

@CABEZAGRANDE: Thanks. I didn't look into it that deeply. There should still be plenty of room in the engine bay of a truck to house a couple of turbos. I think the warranty answers your price concerns stated elsewhere.

@gman1023: If the T-bird is a turbo, it will fail to proceed. I think the Cadillac is probably up to the task. Looks like it is heavily damaged though.

How terrible is the new Ford Boss V8 when HENNESSEY only gets 605 hp out of it? And how badly is the new F150 packaged when the only place to mount the turbos is as replacement bumpers? Big trucks should be easy to work on because stuff does break in the field.

How did we overlook the first Mercedes Benz 300 SL? While I liked the Pagoda SLs of the '60s, the 300 SL would remain the only real sports car that Mercedes would ever make.

@akiranimus: What about the legendary BMW 328 of the '30s and the very first produciton BMW which was an Austin built under license and called the 3/15?

Mercedes Benz 300 SL. The Pagodas were nice, but never again would Mercedes make a real sports car.
