Dude... what?!

Very similar drivetrain to the original Quattro, but this is my '91 Audi 90 Quattro 20V.

Both are on all-seasons and the Audi's were older and crappier. But the Audi has a lockable rear diff, so I'll still stand by my statement. Similarly equipped, classic Quattro > WRX in the snow. I've gotten myself out of the same situation in the same location before, but the snow wasn't as slushy as it was for him,

Haha, that's true. Plus this is actually MY Quattro pulling my friend's WRX. To be fair, I wasn't able to get him up the slope, but he was very high-centered on the ground and snow by the time I was done giving it a shot. Before that, he couldn't even get part of the way up the slope without sliding back down.

Quattro > WRX

Wow, that's surprising! I've had my hood up in 0 degree weather (or less, but can't remember if that was wind chill) without any trouble. It probably helps a bit that the Grand Prix has dual supports.

I have one of these hydraulic hood supports on my Audi and two on my Grand Prix. Both are factory units. The Audi is 22 years old and the GP is 17 years old. Neither have any sign of sag.

Seriously, there is absolutely no reason to not have this. I live in a climate that gets pretty cold (northern Indiana) and have

Time to bring back Pontiac!

The designer should probably take it easy on the wheels. Also this really does look like a "sport compact SUV" or something rather than a compact sports car.

Isn't that the same car as in the article?

Dude, I'm pretty sure that's a 2015 Mustang.

Saying he was testing the car's limits doesn't necessarily mean he deserved what he got. That said, it looks more than likely that this happened at "a high rate of speed" even if much of the damage was caused by fire. It seems unlikely that two gentlemen, both of whom are known car enthusiasts, were out on the highway

"Some may call it sacrilege, but I actually found the Pontiac Firebird to be the prettier, albeit more overlooked sister of the Chevrolet Camaro."

Who would call that sacrilege? Pontiac made the better car, but the only one I'd have (2nd-gen and up anyway) is a Trans Am.

That sounds epic, and I'm looking forward to seeing it! My only advice is, don't post all 600 photos. That's just kind of overkill. Cut it to 50 on the high end, probably, and that would be better.

I hope I don't miss the post.

You could purchase those cars for Corvette money, but you couldn't maintain them for Corvette money. Apples and oranges, in my opinion. The Corvette, at least generations prior to the C6, I see as more of a sports car version of a muscle car.

My post may have been argumentum ad absurdum, but it had a point. Not all that is pure, primal, and without nannies is that great. The Corvette is a great car, and always has been. You have to consider the price point. Through most of its life, could you think of another car that offers that amount of power at that

I suppose you crank start your Model T every time, right?

I want to see this thing in standard cab form.

Except that the new 500s are HUGE compared to the originals.

You'll notice that I never made mention to braking. Overall I agree. But since no configuration of driven wheels helps or hurts braking, I prefer AWD in the winter because you can have a ton of fun with it. RWD is fun too, but not as fast.

The lug nut wrench in my '91 Audi's toolkit has been incredibly useful.
