What on earth are you talking about? This has gone so far off topic, it has to be intentional. Continue. Let's see where this goes next.

Lol, but you just flamed me to prove me wrong. All I said was I don't think I've ever seen an anti-Republican statement flamed ON GAWKER - a traditionally pretty liberal website. I was not expressing my own political views. But thanks for proving me wrong. It was entirely worthwhile.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone get flamed on Gawker for making fun of a Republican.

I agree with you to an extent. But it's pure logic that a 40 mpg car will use half the gas of a 20 mpg car. Given a gallon of gas, you will go 100% farther in the 40 mpg car, meaning you used half the gas per mile.

Of those listed you listed, I'd go for the Road Runner or M coupe. For that kind of money, I'd also consider a nice late-'60s Mustang of some kind, or maybe an early 2nd-gen Trans Am with the SD 455. You could find a cheap DeLorean and spend half the budget restomodding it to your heart's content. I'd like to get one…

You're coming off as a bit of a know-it-all here, and from your screen name and stated car preferences, it sounds like you like anything considered "jalop" and anything considered "beige" is just horrible. And of course all American cars are just the worst to you. Even if they weren't all bad, they're just so common;…

I think it looks fine.

In true Jalop fashion, the car I was supposed to be in after our wedding broke down that very morning ('52 Buick Super) and was replaced with a Lincoln Town Car.

Together we have solid memories of the incident.

Haha, I actually forgot about that part of it! My dominant memory was how the deer spun for several yards down the road before getting up and running off into the woods.

I've seen that. Two things you should consider:

You're right and wrong all at the same time. If you manage to hit bumper-to-bumper, the damage can sometimes be pretty minimal on modern cars. But if you're unfortunate like me and rear-end a Tahoe with your Grand Prix, it's not quite as pretty. My bumper went under his, and his hitch caught the edge of my fender and…

Nah, the '50s Buick is too high for the deer to end up in the windshield. I think the car hit a deer at some point in the past or something because there is some slight front end damage. The upper grille bar that says "Buick Eight" is cracked and the driver's side of the hood is very slightly bent, but it's hardly…

Lol, it will do no such thing. I've had to actually come to a complete stop for two deer in a road before, and no amount of flashing or honking deterred them. I simply edged closer until they moved off.

The most frightening deer-in-the-headlights moment came after a day I had taken my father-in-law's 1952 Buick Super into town and I was heading back out to the countryside where my wife's family lives. Cruising along at what I estimated was a leisurely 40-45mph (lights on the dash weren't working), I came over a hill…

Just adding this to the discussion.

Haha, no worries. Even I didn't recognize it as a '63 immediately. The angle is a bit deceiving or something.

Slightly gaudy? It's one of the classiest designs of all time!

The Ferrari's price is pretty much spot on for what it is, even with the backstory. I wouldn't be surprised if it pulled another $100,000 more, but I don't know what Lennon's ownership is worth to some rich dude.

1st gear: Chevy is going to need to ditch that ugly corporate grille and learn how to design cars without just using the scale tool in Photoshop. A small, light, RWD sports car shouldn't look like a Cruze.
