@Straight6er: "Ignorant blanket statement is ignorant."

@Bueller: But did you like my use of through instead of threw?

That poor little car looks like a development of the Fiat 127 that was the best selling car in Europe in the mid '70s. What it doesn't look like is anything ever sold as a Fiat 500, thank you ignorant commentator. I hope Robby through the car's owner a couple grand for the damage he did to it.

@Mr.CardHolder and Mr.Doe: Cops need to stop crying about their image and start acting like they aren't just another organized crime ring.

What qualifies Matt Hardigree to write about cars?

47 out of 63 (74.60% right)

We could all get along if everyone respected property rights. They're the foundation of freedom.

@81DaytonaPaceCar: Your link is still perpetuating the error that there was an MGB chassis under the Modena Spyder's body. It was a custom made tube chassis with 4 trailing link located Ford axle and upper and lower A-arms in the front. There was nothing MGB about it mechanically. Misinformation is tenacious on the…

The Ferris Bueller's Day Off Ferrari wasn't a rebodied MG. It was a Modena Spyder with a bespoke chassis and a Ford V8. It was convincing enough looking that Ferrari sued them, forcing a company reorganization and renaming. Maybe the makers of the original Modena Spyder car sue Ferrari back for ripping off their model…

Perhaps the message here is that automakers looking to raise their CAFE number by fitting little turbo engines to every car in their line had better be ready for some buyer resistance by people who are familiar with turbo ownership. It could also be because this was a version of the GM high feature V6 that was…

@patman: They got out of the game because the Camarobirds were slow sellers, they had no appropriate platforms to share components with, and they had the Corvette as a halo car for Chevrolet as well as the Solstice in the works for Pontiac. Even you conceded that a year of 75K sales to fill a 7 year void isn't…

Mustang sales flat? That doesn't concern Ford. Windstar axles snapping and another Pinto/Explorer scale product liability fiasco on the cards? Now THAT concerns Ford!

@hoon_n_friends: True, especially when it comes to German cars. Even people who claim they want manual transmissions often reveal themselves by complaining about cars with what they consider narrow power bands. Wouldn't want to actually have to shift, I guess.

I still blame Chris Bangle. Most cars used to be tastefully styled until he made ugly the new black. Bastard. And I hate the clowns that bought his BMWs in spite of their hideous looks. At least Acura buyers were confident enough to stop buying when the cars stopped looking nice.

Why does his Aston Martin look like a Nissan 350Z with a body kit?

@Electro Gyrocator: People were modifying, racing, coveting, and building aftermarket parts for 510s practically from day 1. The only Sentras that received anything like a similar reception were the SE-Rs of the early '90s. If any of them beat the Nissan parts supply and materials curse, they will probably be cult…

@Zer0OrDie: Great joke.

I believe those wheels are 14s or even 15s.

@stuntman_dan66: You've got to put the girl you knocked up in the car first.

With the effects of model bloat, how does the Escort afterbirth C-platform compare with the Volare replacement K-car in terms of wheelbase and track? It goes without saying that the new econobox weighs more.
