Nah. Mr. Regular was implying that Lehigh grads might drive an S4 which is maybe flattering. Unless you drive an A8; then the S4 is a peasant car :-)

10 seconds in... HEY! What does Mr. Regular have against Lehigh University? Alma mater to Regular Car gus like Lee Iacocca an Roger Penske...

father of two here. Best car for a new parent? Any car with a back seat. Get what you like and can afford and don't obsess over it. When we had our first kid, my wife drove a 2-door. Infants in car seats don't need much legroom, it turns out :-). Putting the kid in the seat was no big deal.

I drove a 1986 Pininfarina (Fiat) Spyder 2000 through MANY snowstorms. And slid it into snow banks. And pushed it out of snow banks. And affixed chains to it's rear wheels.,, it was my only car, and it was a part-time ski instructor. It worked reasonably well, though when temperatures went below zero F, the dissimilar…

Me. Volvo XC70. Need a new one, and would prefer 2WD rather than AWD on the next go-around.

Wow! Imagine the horror! That poor bastard got himself turned into a 1982 Trans-Am -(

My brother said it well: "A Volvo is for someone who could afford a Mercedes, but doesn't want to be seen as being rich." Hence the appeal to liberals. That demographic, and being the only decent station wagon sold in America is more than enough to build the kind of volume that Volvo's niche strategy would need to…

Huh? You have no idea. Toyota motor, aluminum tub. Fiberglass body, and common ricer brakes and electricals, the Elise/Exige is startlingly reliable. Three years and zero mechanical problems for me.

+1 on this.

Mature? Elegant? You mean "geezer"

"Elise's easily removable soft top"... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHaHaHaHaHaHahahahaaaaaaaaaa! Let me tell you about putting it back on in a hailstorm outside Watkins Glen :-)

Me too! Wife needs a new wagon, and she says "absolutely no AWD" (the AWD gas mileage hit on the XC70 is killing us). The only decent non-AWD wagon left is the V60.

If you are doing a YouTube car review, you park face out to be able to get good shots of the vehicle.

Even in the New York City area, I get the rich man's car attention.

Used Elise owner. $34 grand (it has the Katana-II supercharger). I can vouch 100% for the truth of this review. I find myself feeling guilty and telling people WHO ASK TO POSE AND SNAP PICTURES IN FRONT OF THE CAR that it's used and costs less than a new Camry. It is what I imagine Ferrari owners must experience.

Meh. Every "Adventure Touring" bike (BMW R1200GS, V-Strom, heck even the venrable KLR650) has been the motorcycle equivalent of an SUV. Right down to the fact that 90% of their owners never take them off pavement :-) I have no problem with that; these bikes make great light touring bikes for those who don't want a…

I thought the NJ regional food was Taylor ham and egg on a roll? Or just Taylor Ham. Never seen the stuff anywhere else, and in true regional food fashion, nobody who didn't grow up with it can stand the stuff.

Every track day I have been on requires your windows to be open. Just sayin' :-)

Why not wait till they come back to their vehicle so you can punch them in the face? That would teach them a lesson and it would be less cowardly.
