My plan: Move out of Massachusetts.

Maybe one with AWD, and better suspension.

Gamify drivers license grades, similar to CDLs. Match it with "achievements" on your car that can be unlocked by earning the higher ranks.

Chevy's "Celebrity EuroSport" package. Wrong on all three counts.

Seconded. I earned my Eagle rank in 1992, before I was aware of BSA's position on homosexuals or atheists. (To be frank, it was before I had fully developed my own thoughts on the issues, as well.)

I respectfully disagree. I think the line has been blurred between "novice gearhead" and "hoon." Yes, the populations can overlap, but there are differences. Any joker with an accelerator can get themselves into trouble. But a gear-head can usually get themselves out.

Therefore NOBODY can have an AWD, manual, diesel wagon.

The Earl of Grantham has really gotten himself into a fix this time...

The scariest part of the Notch is *who* is behind the wheel of those cars coming at you around blind corners. Half the drivers are misplaced New Yorkers, and the other half are Quebecois.

Smuggler's Notch in Stowe, VT. Twisty, steep, narrow and blind. And heavy traffic in both directions.

I disagree. Stick makes cheap cars more fun.

Put me on the list for 1, also.

Indeed. Modern viewers still reel in horror at the grotesque paint jobs those hapless vehicles were subjected to.

I like her deadpan delivery of "hexaflexamexigon" at 2:14...

The secret-stealth garage in an old SanFran Victorian

My first thought, also. But it would get shut down after the 17th fatality on the "reverse curve" bit.

Frighteningly, this thing already exists.

In the Snow-belt, the answer is usually Subaru. In this case, a turn-of-the-century outback wagon.

A trick I use to look at the camera - I move the chat window to directly under the camera on my desktop. Then, when I'm looking at them, it looks like I'm looking at them. And when I'm looking at the document/chart/whatever next to the chat window, that's obvious too.

Buy a 2011 WRX for the same money, better performance, better fit, and year round practicality. Hell - a real AWD Subie is at home on winter roads.
