Eh, not by much. Tires make about 80% of the difference, as well as a good sense of car control. You'd be surprised how little we put the Sierra into 4WD during the winter months.

Yeah, but a sandwich requires much more delicacy.

I wonder if a handoff could occur at a stoplight. Guy reaches in the back, hands off a prepped sandwich of the delicious variety, I hand the guy a fiver and he drives off.

I think they did a wonderful job, honestly. What people wanted was a cheap, genuine sports car, and for once, somebody actually gave a fuck and made one. The closest competitors this car has are the Genesis and the Miata, and that's it. However, the Miata is pretty much tapped out as far as power goes without doing a…

So many Miatas.

Nope, pretty much the only Eastern European import we got was the Yugo; after that, it's been dead silent.

Eh, that's E92 territory in the used market, or a sweet-ass Z32, an AE86 and an E46, so I'm gonna skip it. Unique to be sure, but all I see is a less-attractive 510 with some good (and bad) modifications.

Still inbred, still Muhrican, still making turrible decisions based on something contrived, that said I can't really respect you opinion or anything you say, for that matter, because you decided to open up with where the damn thing was made.

I'd settle for an eye-tracking HUD that gives you distances to targets.

What other remarks to you resemble?

Glad I plunked down early for the season pass, can't wait to download these later!

Delicious, such a wonderful combination of things. God willing I'll run a Porsche on Laguna Seca one day.

You'd probably have to do that with most of it, sadly, but I could make a coffee table out of the motor at least.

"Forced at gunpoint"

I wonder if the wheels would be any good, there's a couple grand from the hands of a MKIV Golf owner.

I'll give you $200 for it.

Wait, we still listen to Consumer Reports? They're like the Yahoo! Autos of printed automotive Journalism. Seriously, didn't they try to tell us that a giant SUV couldn't handle high-G-force emergency maneuvers last year?

Normally, this sort of failure (no rear brake) wouldn't phase a normal cyclist too hard, because most of the braking is done with the front wheel anyway. But when you have an 800+ pound "Sportster" between your legs, you need the braking power of a semi to stop the sheer lardassitude.

'What's that? Some Mazda? Meh," is exactly the reason the guy I know bought it. He's trying to find a permanent fix for the rear diff, but otherwise he's really happy with it.

Mazdaspeed 6. Looks basically like any other Sixer on the time, but with AWD (albeit intermittently) and the same powerplant as the MS3, they can do some serious damage. I know, I rode in one recently pushing 290WHP, and it was more than a little psychotic.
