The wheel humps are very Mazda-y.

THIS. Yield does NOT equal 'dead stop while you wait for the car 3 lanes to the left to pass when it's 100% clear right next to you.

6. Get educated. Learn what a bumpy, reducing radius, off-camber off-ramp is, and how you're supposed to drive one.

This list should be made up of M-cars and C-cars primarily.

Doors that lock when you put a car in gear and/or get above a certain speed. I *LOATHE* this so called "feature" every time I see/experience it.

I desperately hope that Saab pulls through. By the time they're making products all their own again, without any GM-ification, I may be able to afford one of their awesome quirky little hatches.

4 large for an all wheel drive stick wagon with a free spare turbo, and still half you folks are voting CP? What did you do, grow up in the 90's on SUVs? I guess I'll go curl up on the jump seat of a Crown Vic and beg for mercy from the wagon gods.

Trying to finish the deal that DeLorean organized all those years ago.

Agreed. It scares so many people when there is NO noise, that it's one of the best noises of all.

I can agree with that - I've got kids too. It is a slow car that's fun to drive fast. Don't think of it as a hybrid. It's more like a small-engined car with an electric supercharger attached, especially when you slap the 'Sport' button. Go test drive one. Drive it in Eco just to watch the 50-60 MPG numbers come up -…

That's not a "man." That's an overage juvenile delinquent.

AGREED. It's not a super fast rice-rocket coup. It's not a super-efficient hybrid MPG monster. What it is, from my experiences with it, is a PURE BLAST TO DRIVE. That's what comes as most important.

I thought at first this is the one you were talking about, but nope. The luckiest thing about this is he walked away from it, IIRC.

If gadget geeks are like gearheads, Steve was top Jalop.

I graduated from high school in 2004. There were a lot of gearhead kids with 60's era Mustangs, that knew what a real car was. There were a LOT of morons with Eclipses that had no idea how to drive. One of them ran a stop sign and hit myself and my girlfriend on our way to a concert for my birthday.

Or, Elantra Touring.

Or maybe you're doing it VERY right. The M for me is a Z3 M Coupe. :)

This. For the love of all that's good and upright, THIS. While I enjoy saving money by getting good MPG, I also have a hope that one day I'll have a job that pays well enough that I can walk outside, look at my cars, and think "Screw MPG today. I'm taking the M."

MPG. I hate hearing people ask "how many mpg's does it have?" about cars. It doesn't HAVE any. It *GETS* them, depending on how YOU drive.

That's a Hyundai Elantra (2001-2006).
