Having been to a couple track days in the past few months, it is inescapable that spending more on anything else is a complete waste. Five figure Porsches might as well be parked when a ZO6 is on the track. There are several hundred thousand dollar Porsches and Ferraris that can keep up, but they aren't as cool as a

@mostlymartian: Maybe he was just equating driving expensive and practically useless cars with men having sex with each other. Seems like overkill as an attack on electric cars, but maybe he knows about the mines in Africa and the blight of battery production.

Travis Pastrana for President!

I must say I have more respect for Vince Vaughn for not buckling under the pressure. Awesome to see in this day and age!

Damn those Mythbusters for giving people hope that they can polish a turd!

@Dustin Dunkin: I didn't know there was a fix. Apparently, neither did our dealer. It was my father's car, and he did not abuse it. He always idled it for 30 seconds before shutting it off too, but that didn't keep it healthy. It had a vented hood so you could tell when the head gasket was going by the smoke rising

@RX-Elise: Well, he is taking two spots which are probably the closest to the building, considering their proximity to the handicapped space. I'd be fine with someone taking two spots far from the building.

@87CapriceEstate The Next Generation: I consider the clam-shell hood, the horizontally split grill, and the lower doo cutlines that are bowed uselessly and don't match any other element of the car to be Saab elements from the first 900 generation. The one you've posted is a sedan. The 96s and 99s were sedans too. The

Is it just me, or does this thing look more like a Saab than anything Saab has sold in decades? GM hobbled this program the moment they rolled out the concept car. It was styled with exaggerated RWD architecture, portending a '65 Mustang impact and demand. So what made it to from show car to production years later?

Maybe the 318 rear end means that it started life in under the back of a Dakota powered by a 318 V8. 2WD V8 Dakotas were quick enough to drag race with the Mustangs and Camaros of the day.

Any truth to the theory that Veyron is short for very rich moron?

@Autojunkie: True. This was a meeting of the mindless.

@Dustin Dunkin: We had an '85 2.2 liter turbo. It was fun between headgaskets, which basically had to be done at what passes for oil change intervals today, starting at 17K miles. I'd rather have had a Mitsubishi engine.

I had a car like that back in the day. It was a hell of a lot more entertaining than Conan O'Brien.

@verdegrrl: I came from hating Toyota. People who drove Toyota pickups during my teenage years tended to be insufurable rednecks who jacked them up to fit 40 inch tires and painted 'Yoda' on the tailgates. I drove American, Italian, and German cars, and I held a grudge against Japanese products based on breaking

@verdegrrl: I think your problem was with my assertion that the strength of the Milano in LeMons was that they were so useless as cars in their day that the $500 survivors are considerably less fatigued than $500 Hondas and BMWs. I find it incredible that you're claiming that a Toyota pickup was more problematic and

@alfasud: I actually like many of the Milano's qualities, but I also remember that many new car customers were burned badly by selecting them over competitors like the E30 and Acura Legend. I'm glad you enjoy yours.
