I would have to say that the locks on my 2012 Fiesta sedan rank up there. On the outside there's only the 2 key holes on either front door. You can unlock all the doors by a sneaky "turn the key twice" system, but only from the driver's door. Inside, the locks are operated from a single button in the middle of the…

Artificially low speed limits. I'm not trying to say that all speed limits need to be done away with, just the ones that make no sense. For instance, the main road outside my apartment is wide open, two lanes in either direction, a median divider, little traffic, no pedestrian traffic, and very few intersections. Yet…

It's like someone saw the DragonVette and took it as a challenge to make it worse.

There's nothing more expensive than a cheap luxury car. The car may be cheap, but constantly fixing the bloody thing is going to drain your bank account.

I was at an auto auction. My first and last experience with a live- in person auction of any kind. I strolled through the lot, and there were a few cars there that I considered. Among them an old CRX with a manual, and some Volkswagen from the mid 60's that would have been an awesome project car. When the time came to…

And battery warmers! Seriously, though, it's the same car. It just boils down to which badge and front bumper you prefer.

Swamp Buggies! Even if it's just a redneck side mission in a game.

road kill?

Washington DC in Minority Report

Scooby Doo for gearheads!

I suppose the only difference between this and drifting is that they aren't going around a corner?

That engines need "back pressure" to operate best. This inevitably leads to the "opening up the exhaust so it flows better actually makes the engine perform worse." argument.

There's an fr-s in my complex that parks next to a mid 90's Escort. I never thought an escort could look big until I saw the two sitting side by side

I suppose, as a society, we have simply gotten used to the idea of bloated cars in general. The Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger are huge and they're probably the most common sports cars on the road.

I don't know how the IIHS makes it's decisions, but the FR-S is a pretty small car. There's one in my complex that tends to park next to an old ford escort. It makes the escort look huge.

Probably not as I prefer to have sleepers. The stickers that come with my performance parts tend to go on the underside of the hood, assuming they get put on at all. Now, if I was sponsored and had some sort of compensation for driving that tacky monstrosity covered in stickers and stripes, that would be a different…

Nash, but that's only because I love tiny clown cars.

You can have your snow. I'll take my palm trees, thank you.

It's been a few years (2009, I think) since I was on a road trip to Maine from Georgia for a wedding. Late at night, I pulled off the freeway somewhere on Staten Island to try to find a gas station as I refused to pay to have someone else pump my gas in New Jersey.

Reading! That's the most terrifying thing I've seen on the road. I'm driving along, happen to glance over, and someone has a book or gigantic newspaper propped up on the steering wheel!
