Pretty clearly the A3 TDI: http://jalopnik.com/how-to-squeeze… =)

A lot of people regularly got 30 MPG out of the Elise. Especially the earlier models.

Can't tell if meant to be compliment or insult.

I did.

Smart money's on Dyer.

the taxonomic grouping of VAG

But Will It Bab... oh. Dear lord... This is crazy even when measured in the not yet standardized Torchinsky Scale of Dementedness.

Oh man... That has the best potential of everything I've read thus far.

Pitch number 2. Put Demuro, Torchinsky, Okulski, Ezra Dyer and Jean Jennings (with regular special guest Ralph Giles) together on a TV show, I don't care what the original idea of the show is, as regardless of what they are supposed to do, the end result will be the most amazing automotive TV show ever. Have cameras…

Give Torchinsky full creative control, a(n) reasonable unreasonable budget, and let him do anything he wants, as long as it is automotive related. I would watch this, buy the collected sets, and mourn when it finally ended.

In my experience, hearing about 8 ownership is typically 3 pictures of a stationary car in various stages of assembly for every one picture of it in working order. (Granted, this is a limited data set and I'm extrapolating, but still).

Nope. Was going to submit his name next (Vince Neil was my first). Fatal accidents while intoxicated that result in the deaths of others in exotics? Fuck them.

Vince Neil. Killed Razzle in a drunk driving accident in a Pantera. Still goes on to sing about the rock and roll lifestyle and cars. And has had a DUI since (in a Ferrari).

Multiple engines, or multiple engine choices?

It seems that Travis and I share a lot of similar tastes.

Well, to be fair, if someone came up to me and said: "OK, pick any modern Ferrari for your DD." The 599 GTO would be number 2 on my list (after the FF, because I have kids).

You're confused? Imagine my surprise when I encountered it. My eyes still haven't quite recovered.

This one!

We are not a patient people.

Although this brings my time with the Ferrari to a close, I still plan on doing two more columns: one to sum up my thoughts on the ownership experience, and another to document exactly how much it cost to own a used Ferrari for a year. You can expect them both next week. And then we have a new car to choose.
