Here's what I use as bookshelf decoration in my place. A little easier to move around in a small place. It's a cylinder head from a Suzuki SV650 v-twin. My own SV, actually.

Small apartment? Want to be able to LIFT your table from time to time? How about a 750cc air cooled straight six block from a Benelli motorcycle? I would also accept a Honda CBX 6 cylinder, though it is a bit bulkier.

Cool, but I read up on the specs and the cost... It runs 100$ a year with three cars and additional content (cars and tracks) cost extra. That's kind of BS right there. At the very least they should offer everything in one price. Or make it open source and free. Or just make it a real game you pay 60$ for and own…

I just googled the Series I, which I never knew existed. Holy sweet mother of Jebus that was a nice car. But only 7 were made. Bugger.

Amen to that. I adore cinder-block Landies, and hack jobs usually turn me off - but this one is just too sweet to overlook.

The day I stopped putting faith in "consumer" guides was when I was browsing a Lemonaid at the local bookstore. I read the passage on the Audi A6, which berated it for terrible reliability and electronic gremlins (fair enough... everybody knows that right?).

What, you think this is worse than a couple of hundred gs on an over-restored Hemi?

I build superdetailed models in my spare time (unfortunately I don't have much of that anymore)

God bless em for building it so light while still being a proper car (not some paper-mache subcompact city scooter)... In this era of portly compacts it's amazing they were able to pull this off. Goes to show that the manufacturers don't really have a good excuse for why cars are so damned heavy today.

Ooh! Ooh! I just found a great one to add to the pantheon (I'm 28 days late, sorry).

I'll save that imaginary money and hold out for a clean Alfa 164S 3.0L with a manual.

A good friend of mine had one - red (of course) with a 6 speed. He lent it to me one day and I took it out on a twisty backroad. Holy sweet mother of jebus it went like a scalded cat and drove like a go-kart. The night before we had been hooning about in a V10 M5 that he somehow managed to get as a loaner from the…

4wd and winter tires are great for giving you grip to accelerate in bad conditions... But as for stopping, there is no beating physics. He made the classic error of a bad winter driver - driving faster than the conditions allowed, and then mashing the brakes.

Land Rover Discovery II. I utterly, madly adore that truck. And I don't like trucks, nor do I any possible use for one. I also know they guzzle fuel like an Abrams, the interior is cramped and uncomfortable, they are joyless to drive and slow, and have a criminal record for reliability. They depreciat(ed) like cold…

The Seven isn't phallic. It's a goddamn condom. You don't drive it, you wear it.

If you have ever tried to hookup a litrebike you know it is a real test of nerve and skill. You either spool up the rear tire... Or you flip over. Those are your options if you are ham fisted. Rolling starts are easier but still dicey. It takes a pro to lay down the power fast and smooth enough to go ripping off the…

The fact that the Miura is not on this list is criminal.

1. Take it from a Canadian - you have NO idea how much difference good winter tires will make. Whenever I see a video of cars slithering around and bashing into each other in 1/2 inch of snow, I immediately know it was filmed in the US because everyone is still wearing summer tires in December. All season are indeed…

I've stood next to Gilles Villeneuve's Ferrari while it was being warmed up in a paddock (Legends of Motorsport at Mont Tremblant, I go every year). Seeing the LEGO version gave me a chill. That's a testament to how good it is.

Another closet C4 lover here. I would hate to be caught driving one without a mullet, but I have always liked the idea of a cheap, light, fast, V8 powered wedgemobile and the C4 fills that bill nicely (particularly the cheap bit).
