Just like anything else, definitions constantly evolve. Yesterday's "supercar" is schooled by a Corvette. Today's "supercar"s will be schooled by some tiny high-torque electric econobox 20 years from now.

I love how John says "...than is modestly called...Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive".

I care.

Make it lightweight.

Turn this bad boy on its side, link it up to a rear-drive platform, and I'll consider paying almost $31k.

Just think of all the brand new or slightly used cars you can get for ~$31k, then don't think about the Beetle.

Very touching. Even so, some of these scenes show the utter disregard, disdain even, some people still have for pedestrians, like when drivers don't bother to stop for some old lady or crippled child in a crosswalk/zebra until a big man jumps out of the car to usher them through. WTF, it's like people think in their…

Regarding #6 — the entire Scion brand: A good friend was recently shopping for a brand new car, and I recommended a Scion because it was well within her budget and had everything she wanted, to which she responded that they are cheap "teenager" cars. When I informed her that they are in fact very high-quality Japanese…

The Fusion is actually nice car, as is the Focus. If I was shopping for a brand new family sedan, I would actually consider one over the current Japanese offerings in the same class (Accord, Camry, Altima, etc.). In fact, I was once a hardcore Accord loyalist, and now...now it's just kind faded to grey and became so…

That's far too tidy and would never work for me. Where are all the cables? I don't see a single microphone. And is everything virtual? No amps, guitars, or other instruments besides a single bass on the wall? That chair also looks might uncomfortable. I have far too many things that clutter my works space, but I use…

Exactly right, because in a real manual transmission using
the standard 1-2-3-4-5-R pattern (with 1 at the top), you pull down to upshift, and push up to downshift from 1->2 and 3->4.

Fuck everything about #6 (turn signal bullshit). It's shit like this that makes me cringe at new cars. I will take a simple, solid, working, dependable, predictable, unambiguous, and clearly labeled control over fancy some algorithm-controlled doohickey any day.

8.) Wait Out Left Lane Hogs
7.) Flash, Flash, Back Off, Wait, Pass On The Right

Can't figure out why they labeled that Camaro an '09. Was it an Easter Egg?

The only reason these are "midlife crisis" cars is because by the time you are "midlife", you can actually afford your dream car.

Hey Travis, you are dead wrong on this. While I agree it's really damn annoying when asshat drivers clog up the left lane, getting a ticket for going under the speed limit is absurd. It's a limit......A limit.

The quickest, best experience I've had with buying a car is when I bought my first Mercedes (a 1-year old '06 C230 Sport with 5k on the odo at a substantial discount). I called the dealer and we arranged a deal with a firm price. I then went to my credit union, they cut me a check, I drove to the dealer, checked out…

Ah, the VR6.

Carburetors, merely carburetors!
