Agree. I'm 6'3. It is physically impossible for me to operate one of those little windup cars.

How does the 240sx keep beating Z cars on these lists? If anything the Z cars are easier to find in non-thrashed condition and are certainly more fun to drive.

No one mentioned hunting from a moving vehicle?

Preach on! My second job is at a used car lot (with garage) in the 'hood. The stuff that rattles and limps its way in there is frightening. My fave? A Taurus down from up north. The subframe had rusted loose from the unibody. The lady was a couple of bad pot holes from recreating that Herbie movie where both halves of…

I'm of two minds on this. There are some scary unsafe cars on Tennessee's roads, no argument. However, everywhere I've been where there has been any kind of inspection system it is usually pretty corrupt. Either folks are paying extra to get a sticker on a car that would not pass or people are getting screwed with…

Used to live in Atlanta. You just had to know the 'right' inspector to get a sticker. I once had a oil smoke belching Maxima pass inspection. :)

I have the misfortune of having a LeSabre as a company car. They are HARD on brakes for some reason. Also, it sounds like you keep up with your routine maintenance. Once the semi-metallic friction material is gone off the pads you have steel grinding on the rotors. It will destroy them in pretty short order.

Same thing. Got used to everything more complicated than "Hi" being done with a witness.

#6: First time ever pulled over, I'd had a driver's license for about a month. I'm at the side of I-80, terrified. My stepfather had explained that if I got a speeding ticket he'd yank the engine out of my car and put a 4 cylinder in it (he could've too).

The V6 isn't bad. I had a '07 as a company car for quite awhile. Respectable for a FWD car and more engaging to drive that a Camry or Accord. We got 298,000 miles out of it before unloading for something a lot worse.

Ya know, on your #1 answer...sort of. I had a nice 300zx for awhile—fun to drive little car. Not so much in stop and go traffic. I replaced it with a human sized Grand Marquis and would not trade back on a bet.

I did the four donut spares on a 1987 Ford Escort wagon years ago. It was a blast. Picture driving something that handled like a shopping cart.

Ultra cheap: If you're parking in a really bad area take the fuel pump relay or fuse with you.

This was just idiotic, and I suspect there is a LOT of bourbon involved. At least he took himself out with this stunt and didn't cause a fatal car crash instead.

Did something similar to US Customs going into Canada. Good times.

Yeah, I fondly remember the first day out on the driving course. Many orange barrels were slain backing that Freightliner up the first few times.

Word of mouth, and start with something simple like a tune up or brake job. Also seeing how they respond when correcting a mistake is telling.

Had a prop say good bye to the world on a friend's boat. What a sadistic, and deserved, idea to pull on this a-hole.

Really amusing but way, way, way too expensive.

Neat idea, it would cover that stupid airbag graphic on my sun visors.
