Does anyone work for Blackwater that isn't a veteran? It takes a myopic form of self-delusion to claim support for our fighting men and attack Blackwater. I have numerous friends who've each had multiple deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq. They're officers though, and they're not badly paid. Most of them have…

We're not spending money on roads and schools, and the Democrats would never even think of it. When they say schools they mean teachers' unions that want to do less work for more pay while being unaccountable and plowing their ill-gotten gains back into the Democratic machine. When you say roads you mean mass transit…

What you're advocating amounts to living like there are no resources today. We're plowing money into dead end scams under a political patronage system while failing to provide for our energy needs of the very near future.

That's part of the problem, but did you notice that this one only lasted 9,000 miles? I'm told that is quite normal.

I don't think the Porsche folks I know will take 'bargain' early Boxsters for free anymore. They were buying them cheap for the track a few years ago, but it wasn't worth the bother because of the engine issues and a few other mistakes made by the factory. I don't recall seeing one at a track day since about 2008. Its…

I remember reading an article where the Honda guys were saying that this Type R was faster around a track than the S2000 Clubsport. I've seen what a well-driven S2000 can do at Buttonwillow and Laguna Seca against some much more powerful sports cars. I'd love to have a stock Civic that is fast enough to run with those…

Well, to be fair the Carrera GT was priced above garden variety 360s, 430s, 456s, and 575s when it was new. The problem is what it means for owners of junior Porsches. I asked the guy whose shop that is what will happen when Caymans and Boxsters with dual clutch gearboxes start coming in off warranty for new clutches:…

There's the short lived little bastard.

This is what your ridiculously cool Carrera GT looks like once it hits 9,000 miles and needs a $25,000 clutch job.

I do love the oil rigs. I love driving there in my car. I love packaging that preserves the food that I eat. I love that I can afford to buy that food. I love that I can choose to go to Huntington Beach if I want to and get there in the privacy of my car. I love all the freedom and prosperity that oil affords me.…

I know about you now. Energy shouldn't be a luxury good. There should be enough of it that even people like you can survive on your wits.

Planes don't displace thousands of people, scar the land, and fuck up life on earth either.

Garbage in, garbage out. This list is a pathetic effort, but most of the posts here explain how it happened.

There was nothing boring about the Lancer. People complimented the looks of ours all the time, even though it shared the driveway with a new Porsche we bought after it started revealing its true nature around month number 3 of ownership. It also wasn't boring always wondering when the Lancer ES Turbo's next headgasket…

I hate both parties, but Republican corruption often leads to more jobs and wealth, while Democrats merely redistribute wealth while destroying the means of our prosperity and our economic freedom.

I'm guessing 'the rednecks who slap NASCAR stickers all over their cars' do so because they like NASCAR. It could be worse. They could advertise their idiotic political views instead, like with many imported diesel owners. If all this had amounted to was Saab owners with ill-informed bumper stickers, I wouldn't have…

The Excel was styled in Italy by a famous Italian, and Europeans have always had the capacity to build unspeakably ugly cars. European styling was a statement of fact, not a marketing claim.

This. One wonders how long it will take children raised on video games to learn to buy cars that have anything to do with how they use them in the real world. Oh well. Naive people make the world go round.

If you've really missed the difference then I can't help you. Saab cultivated this illusion and it was taken as gospel by fans and journalists alike. GM and Ford are involved in NASCAR, but I don't think anyone has brought up NASCAR in a review of the new Malibu or Fiesta, nor have their makers run "Born from Stock…
