Women are like kittens, they just wanna be taken care of. You gotta let them know you're willing to be their man-mama.

Did you see The World's Fastest Indian, about Burt Munro? It's a story not unlike Caswell's, and they did a good job of avoiding schmaltzy sentiment.

@BigHarv: GM's been doing right by manual-lovers with the CTS and Camaro lines thus far, even if they sell more autos. Just think of the backlash if they put their new 3 series fighter on the market without a manual.

@BigEngineSmallCar: Nah, they'll just use Marvel's Pym Particles.

@Scandinavian Flick doesn't need snow to oppo: Last I heard, the next-gen CTS is gonna be built on a long wheelbase variant of the Alpha platform. I think the idea is to make the CTS plusher without jacking the weight up and sacrificing performance.

@Weather and darkness will not be an issue: Yeah, with the R8 TDI. The prototypes kept bursting into flames. I think it stemmed from the transmission overheating due to the engine's monster torque output.

@Spiegel, Earl of Sandwich: NERRRRRRRD!!!

@CJinSD: Russia is considered a transcontinental country, part of both Europe and Asia. Only 1/4 of Russia, from the western border to the Ural Mountains, is in Europe. Everything east of the Urals is in Asia. So we should either go by the geographical locations of the factories, or say "majority rules" and call it…

@geolemon: An Insight would be a better donor than a Prius. The Insight's hybrid system has a bit more oomph than the Prius because it uses the electric motor to back up the gas engine, whereas the Prius has it the other way around. It's why the Prius gets better mileage, but car magazines almost always prefer the…

@dallasmay: Two points-

@geolemon: Until there are as many charging stations as there are gas stations, and engineers can build light-weight batteries with gas tank-rivaling capacity, there will always be penalties for electric cars.

@geolemon: People always use the "I don't even drive 250 miles in a week, so that's more than enough range for me" rationale to defend the Roadster, but I just don't buy it. Green or not, the Roadster is sports car, and is therefor meant to be driven hard. That means unless you live next door to a track or some…

NOXOST? More like NORNGE.

@BigHarv: The best one I've seen in my neighborhood is a New Beetle with a plate reading "OHMYBUG." If you know what "bug" is northern New England slang for, you'd be amazed the car's owner got away with it.

I found some exclusive video of the gathering, wherein the club enjoys their favorite non-driving activity.

@luisthebeast: Seconded. This one belongs to a friend of mine, snapped a picture of it on the street the other night.

Can't believe nobody's posted this yet.
