"Her friends are so jealous

People are overwhelmed. People are underwhelmed. Why isn't anybody ever just whelmed?

If this was the best way to set up an M3, then Munich would have set it up this way.

I don't want to laugh, but I must.

I'm buying you an Imo's!

I never really pondered the design of these before, but it's funny: the nose looks like the 80's and the tail looks like the 50's. I guess it averages out in the middle.

Wow. That brings home in the most visceral of ways the combustion part of internal combustion.

did variable geometry wings fall out of favor principally because of complexity and high maintenance requirements?

while y'all are arguing back and forth, I'll be preserving the purity of my bodily fluids, thank you very much.

Oh for Pete's sake, if you don't like the Prius don't buy one. Bashing the Prius on a car enthusiast blog is like bashing McDonald's on gourmet food blog. Tell me about why you love your Mustang, not why you hate the Prius. Some people don't have an emotional connection to their car. Deal with it.

What airline do you have to fly to get the numbered smock?

I'll let you in on a secret: ALL advertising is fake. There's nothing real in any commercial.

"...before the model got needlessly bulky and added the unnecessary heft of a V8 under the hood."

Modern supercars are stupid. They have far more horsepower and capability than their average wealthy buyer can handle, and seven-tenths of their performance is inaccessible on public roads. If I won the lottery the last thing I would buy is a new Lamborghini or McLaren.

I don't really like racing. Not on race tracks anyway. I like cars because they are a useful application of a unique combination of design, technology, art, and engineering. A car is a sculpture that can take you and your family and friends places you want to go. Going around and around in circles on a racetrack is…
