E34 M5. Didn't make it to the US for another year or two, but sales began in 1988. So it counts. And it counts so hard. Subtle. Quick. Effortless. Intimidating.

I still need my daily dose of slip angle. This did not satisfy.

Yeah man, 5MT 1.8 turbo is where it's at.

I've been autocrossing one of these for a few weeks, and I gotta say, it's a hoot, even a bit scary, on the limit. It can understeer the bejeezus out of one corner and kick the tail out on the next, much more so than one would think of a FWD square with such a short wheelbase. Trying to use first gear the the whole…

There's a difference between intimidating and terrifying. A blacked-out Excursion is the former. That image is the latter.

The rape allegations are against one of Shelby's employees. Who is probably not 90.

H-click. I think I just got my ab workout for the day.

Yeah, the phrasing is still off: "...how DID they sell 100,000 cars?" Looks a lil' bit like they already sold that number, but the figures only add up to half that.

Seconded.

Alfa Tipo 33 Stradale. Hand-wiping the dust off those curves would be utterly pornographic.

Because firstcar.

On what planet is a designed-from-scratch sports coupe an econobox? I'm moving there.

Because F1 is so rife with humor and lightheartedness.

Goodyear tires are one of America's cons?

Hear, Hear!

Are you on the other side? Right leg?

'Twas the highest in the world according to On Point yesterday. Batshit. Only 108 down here in S. Cackalacky.

Or the Forza 4/GT5 argument since, well, GT5 will have to slug it out for another 5 or 6 years before GT6 shows up to relieve it.

Divine nectar you say? Yuh ain't from 'round here, is yuh?
