@sdvictor: You seem confused. Why do you think immigrants are trashy if they're so well behaved? Maybe if you had a point you could be honest and consistent. Lying is a bitch, eh victor?

@nsdewitt001: I've ridden in a bunch of drunk or tweaker driven cabs here. It is so bad that I mostly only go to bars within walking distance now.

The price is pure crack pipe. I know all about the DTM. I think that German cars of the '80s are the absolute apex of European civilization and that everything they've produced since is philosophically crippled decadent garbage. Still, the least of the E30 M3s is twice the car this W201 batmobile could hope to be. If…

We're number one! We're number one! It is pretty amazing that San Diego manages to top the chart when a huge percentage of our population is exempt from all laws and the cops wave cabs past road blocks, letting another group of impaired drivers off the hook.

If anyone wants a used Veyron, hold out for one to make it to 24,000 miles. At the current rate of depreciation, it should be free. This is meant as a joke, but don't tell that to a friend of mine who bought a 7-series BMW used. He probably figured that having lost 75% of its value in 4 years, it couldn't do it again.…

@tonyola: Maybe it is one of those 'the perfect mate for Mr. Toad is Mrs. Toad' things. This is Hardigree we're talking about.

@Scandinavian Flick: This thread is quite revealing of the 'enthusiasts' who make up the numbers here. I was at Laguna Seca a week ago. One of my friends had his track tires and tools in a custom trailer towed behind his supercharged S2000 and the guy that won the last club race I attended was once again towing his…

It shouldn't be too tough to build a car for this engine that weighs less than a BMW motorcycle.

I've probably seen at least 25 Citroen SMs in my life, only 1 of which could move under its own power. Using one as presidential transport is right up there with using a hot air balloon as Air Force One.

My car was recently hit twice a few weeks apart. The first time it was hit by a painter's truck. There were witnesses, and the house painter just wanted to put the accident behind him. His insurer was State Farm, and the process was as painless as possible. They supplied a rental car same day, delivered the checks to…

@snapoversteer fronts the prog-rock band Camber Tweel: The auto companies should spend the money on contract killings for the 'safety advocates.'

@AMC_CJ: Why would you buy a truck from a company that you know likes to screw Americans? When it turns out to be a complete loss, you'll have nobody to blame but yourself.

@VioletVerq: He is the reason these assclowns still have a job and the rest of us are stuck with the bill.

Why not cross the train tracks? Trains aren't usually going very fast in populated areas and it isn't like they're going to swerve and hit you. If you're good at math, cross the tracks with impunity.

This car could pass for a Honda Accord Coupe, inside and out. All you'd have to do is change the badges. This represents an IMMENSE improvement over the current 6-series.

I suspect a professional. Someone hired by the neighbors, to be more specific.

"My vote goes to the GM X Body cars: the 1980-85 Chevrolet Citation, Buick Skylark, Oldsmobile Omega, and Pontiac Phoenix; the hugely publicized recalls and rapid deterioration of these cars nuked decades' worth of GM's hard-won reputation for building reliable vehicles," said Murilee.

Is cooling an issue on these? It looks like radiator resides in a sealed box that serves as the base for the center console.

I was at Laguna Seca yesterday. There were five SLS AMGs at the track, although none turned a lap. They are too big for use on this planet.

@buick61: I take it you're not from LA. That those particular cops were prevented from robbing or shooting anyone for a while is just gravy.
