Deutsche Post lost my shit a lot less that USPS has recently.

Could this guy be from anywhere but New Jersey's current caricature?

Your irony needs some work. I know some hipsters you can call.

I was rowing the gears my New Beetle 1.8T (thanks, Mom!), though I think I can count the number of times I hit 3rd on one hand. It's quite the unexpected little hero.

Done. It's really something else. It's non-stop, there are no breaks; by far the most engaging and challenging driving experience I've had. I wish I could've turned turned around and done it again but I was en route to a friend's in Tenn. and was racing daylight. The best part was that it was in January and as such…

So, he doesn't list the mileage, it's got all of the V8 thirst with none of the V8 power, and the cabin looks like it used to be a wolverine nest. On top of it being hideous. Uh-huh. No thanks. My last car was a '94 626 with just as much horsepower, a stick with more gears, better MPG, and was built within a decade of…

The first one was the Venom 1000 Twin Turbo, a Viper-based car. The second one is the Venom GT, which is what the article's about.

Not usually that far east/south, but there have been one or two spotted outside Lexington in the past year. Plausible.

So something like a French Mille Miglia?

RE: #10

I had the same, except by "had" I mean that I never took it back to the library and over a year later I wound up paying more than the value of the book in late fees...

They sure do. I did a year abroad in sleepy, Baroque Bamberg (in which bike theft is probably the most serious crime I was aware of) and the police still carried MP5, though rarely openly. It's rumored that the town is so quiet it's pretty much used as a breaking-in facility for greenhorns.

Wippermann. Nice choice!

All of the discomfort, exposure, and lack of storage of a motorcycle with none of agility or cool factor!

Yeah, Aston was definitely the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw that grill and that paint. Perhaps this is what the Cygnet shoulda been.

Maybe a "Ranger of the North" that will eventually man up and take the royal throne of the F-150? With heated washer/headlight fluid, battery and block warmer, heated seats and mirror defrosters?

@SteveR32 It's guys like you that make me proud be be a part of such a friendly, enlightened, and accepting community. Your input inspires me. Thank you.

Have you SEEN a 650i convertible? I don't think there's much of a comparison. Z8s are also movie stars. BMW also has the Z8 in its museum, 6-series, not so much. And BMW will build 6-series as long as people order them; there's less than 3k Z8s scooting around the US, and that number's not getting any bigger.
