The original Saab 900.

Not exactly classic, but I plan on doing exactly this when I get back from my study abroad. Heart click!

Same. The Fords and Chevys really don't do much for me. I've always found the Mopars, AMC's, and even the Mercurys, Pontiacs, and Oldsmobiles to be more exciting to me.

Man, I need to stop missing these QOTD's.

I have a cousin and uncle that do tractor pulls. It's actually kind of cool how much power they can get out of the smaller tractors. They've had electric entrants, completely covered in car batteries, in some of the open classes too.

Especially this guy. It's not like he can't afford track time if he really wants it. Hell, I bet you he could get somebody to give him money to flog his LF-A around a track.

I missed the QOTD thread. Consider it a late addition.

I'm not quite so sure it would either. It's not exactly easily replaceable, that's for sure.

You know, at first I was just going to leave this comment down in the gutter where it belongs, but I think I'm going to make an example out of you instead.

I'm surprised the spectators were standing so close to that thing. All I can think of is that thing snapping and taking off a head.

*Developed* world. EU member nations have more or less the same crash regs. All of the developed Pacific nations are pretty similar as well.

I totally have this wallet.

One would *hope* that you could trust a dealership with a major automaker franchise to operate in good faith. Apparently not, though.

I like the cut of your auto-political jib. When it comes to crash standards and even fuel standards (US diesel regs, looking at you), we really should harmonize with the rest of the developed world.

I had a white Breeze as my first car. I've been debating trying to find one with a stick shift when I get back from my study abroad for my next car. It'll probably depend on how much money I have, though.

Oh, that it does. My first car was a Breeze with the 2.0L/4-speed, a dog if there ever was one. It could still hit 110 pretty easily, and remain stable even without spoiler support.

As would I. The photographed car was apparently a budget racer from Canada.

You don't like articles like this because Mercedes dunn-goofed and sent a group of vehicles made for the rough streets of Los Angeles out into the Outback? I don't see why this is the article's fault that some dude in Stuttgart fucked up.

I have a soft spot for the 1st gen "Cloud Cars", AKA the 1995-2000 Dodge Stratus, Plymouth Breeze, and Chrysler Cirrus.
