HOLY HDR

That hairpin at the end was kind of a conspicuous place to cut the video. I wonder if the driver got a bit too confident on that one.

Okay, we'll settle for just figuratively killing the messenger then. ;)

I won't bash on you specifically for not writing about cars, but I agree that the guys at Jalopnik shouldn't be putting these unrelated stories on the front page. Not that it's a bad article or anything. It just belongs on Deadspin more than the front page of Jalopnik. Just because Detroit is Motor City doesn't mean…

First of all, we're steering clear of some of the coolest front wheel drive cars ever made because handling isn't their priority. The original Oldsmobile Toronado and its more expensive cousin the Cadillac Eldorado were seriously cool cars and we would kill to own one, but we'd rather be whipping in something light…

No, I mean I agree with what you quoted, but this doesn't count as messing with a guy's car. The prankster didn't actually do anything to harm the car or even touch it. He was merely being funny in a certain way near the car. Ferrari man should have just cracked up laughing when he saw the bottle and owned up to his…

I don't think that's his assumption at all. What I took from it is that he's saying if you don't work for it, you don't earn it. He's saying that it (normally) takes a lot of work to land you a job that would pay as handsomely as crime can; not that people who work for lower pay don't work as hard. There's a…

Doesn't matter, as long as it's not Maximum Overdrive.

I want something open-wheeled (okay, maybe some fenders) and kind of old school. Like a Morgan, but Bugatti.

Could have had a V6 Mustang!

"Try not to make ugly cry face?" Wow man. Some guys around here, including myself to some degree, can pull off owning unusual or classic cars with some grace, but if you actually do own an Elise, it sounds like you just do it to give a big "fuck you" to everyone else on the road who can't afford or doesn't care to own…

Well... yours and mine are different, but even still, isn't the timing belt cover just a safety cover? Either way, I'm sure it will become apparent the first time I get the aux radiator out of the way, maybe remove the front bumper, and then I can get a good look.

My oil leak was non-existent before I did the timing belt, and a huge issue after. I drove it a couple miles to my usual shop (with it not leaking badly at first) and by the time I got there, it was down about a quart of oil.

Does yours have the hydraulic brakes, steering, and ABS? 'Cause that is the biggest weak link in mine. Fuel injection? No problem. Though I do plan on upgrading to the 034 at some point if I keep the car long enough. Right now though I have a huge oil leak from the front. Still haven't had time to diagnose it, but in…

My first vote goes to air-cooled 911s as well, but the one that first sprang to mind was the Lamborghini Countach. One drove past me as I was walking into Best Buy once and I heard it before I saw it and knew something special was coming. You could just tell it wasn't American, and definitely not common. No ricer or…

I don't daily drive this like Jetstar does with his old car, but I can attest to some of the things he brought up. The differences being that this car ('52 Buick Super) doesn't have power steering or power brakes. What it does have is a straight-8 engine, a big steering wheel with a lot of play to absorb bumps, a…

Pretty true. American driving involves a lot of crossing vast distances in a single day without stopping, and bigger cars usually do that better without causing fatigue for drivers and passengers. Europe doesn't have the same needs, so of course they can get by with cheaper, smaller, easier to park, more efficient…

I think you're confused or something. The Cadillac has nothing to do with Mercedes and is a pretty respectable car. Not sure where you got the idea it's a rebodied Mercedes. Are you confusing it with the Chrysler 300? Even then the difference is far more than just "rebodied."

wat.

But it's actually functional.
