@Tossed Mazda3hatch's Chicken Salad all over Accord's face with a plate of croutons and Bleu Cheese dressing: He had the TVR before emigrating to California. The 996 was a 996, so no more Porsches. Next he got the first S2000, which he loved but replaced when it was a few years old. The next S2000 was one of the 2.2…

@Quattro-luvr: It won't just show up on car blogs. If there are good spy photos of the next generation of one of the ten best selling cars in the land, they will show up on cable news, splashed accross Yahoo landing pages, and pretty much everywhere else. This is why the manufacturers disguise their prototypes.

@Tossed Mazda3hatch's Chicken Salad all over Accord's face with a plate of croutons and Bleu Cheese dressing: Have you driven a Fit? I know this British jackass who has had a TVR, a 996, a G37 and two S2000s, the second of which he complained about because he had to turn off the stability control 'everyday.' He is…

@Alfisted: COTD - I'm not even going to bother trying to follow that.

Giving our valuable technical secrets to China? Who does he think he is, Bill Clinton?

No more M6s? This will destroy the market for 24 and 26 inch rims in San Diego. Boo hoo.

@Tvaan: It wasn't the engines that ruined M cars. It was the festering garbage BMWs that they were based on.

@Quattro-luvr: You really understand the auto industry. Honda only sells 285,000 Civics a year in the US alone, and I'm sure they want people to wait for the this one instead of buying in the next 18 months.

A guy I used to work with moved from Virginia to Colorado with his Volvo 240 wagon in the back of a Penske moving van and his girlfriend's Toyota pickup on a tow dolly behind it. Or maybe the pickup was in the van and the Volvo was on the dolly. Either way, he used the loading dock behind a big department store to…

@smokyburnout: I've sat in terror while various women have displayed perfect concentration, on their phone calls.

No mention of cell phones? I declare shenanigans!

All that is missing is the USPS logo.

@Festering neon distraction: I would rank Chinetti as number 2 of the people who did make their list, with Ike at the top and Fitch the only other one who should have even received consideration. Oh well. If you're coming here for the quality of the writing staff...

@hotmud'n'exhaust: There is a mid-engined Honda Beat running aroung Pacific Beach on weekends. The owner has shaved all the Honda logos, so it is only badged by Pininfarina, who designed the body. It is powered by a 656 cc naturally aspirated engine that makes 63 hp at 8,100 rpm, and it weighs 1,700 lbs. Top speed is…

@Fodder650: Is it possible that this awkwardness of position is the result of Frank having the steering cranked over at full lock while turning a tight circle with his right leg splayed out on the ground as a pivot? The normal seating position may be a bit knees in the face, but it could well be exaggerated in this…

I saw a bumpersticker on one of my neighbors' cars. You should send a camera crew to document it.

@sinyster: Touché. That said, I have no idea what you mean by sparkling skin. Not too many jumpsuits in my wardrobe though.

It doesn't take as much courage as you might think. Those Escorts handled like they were on rails, er..like they were on a monorail at least.

Evel Knievel obviously didn't foresee a world where chicks dug wimps pretending to be vampires and wolfmen.
