"at least 383 pound feet of torque,"

Gotta disagree. You would tire yourself out after about 1 minute of going at it with a crowbar and probably hurt your hands doing it. Using this method, you can do a lot more damage in the comfort of your air-conditioned car while listening to your favorite tunes, and not get a scratch on your body.

I vote lover's quarrel too. Only an SO can make someone that enraged.

As a two-time Camaro owner, I must reluctantly agree. I feel a sense of envy every time I see one on the street...but I feel better after remembering that I can still take an R/T without even trying (SRT8, I may think twice).

Dealers are just shady subhuman shitballs anyway. When I was recently looking for a Camaro SS (I was considering new or low-mileage used), one dealer tried to sell me a really nice "one-owner" in perfect shape. This thing was spotless, like brand-new, and had only 2,500 on the odo. My red flag was that it was about…

I've actually driven a 2nd-gen Micra (in Europe) and it wasn't half-bad. In fact, I'm pretty sure it had the 1.3L 79hp engine, but it had a manual trans, and it's a featherweight, so it actually felt responsive and sprightly. I wouldn't personally use it as a DD, but it didn't make it hate life like the Versa.

Nothing wrong with 1.6L or 106hp, as long as it's fun and the engine is ready and willing to deliver all 106 ponies in a relatively enthusiastic fashion. First, with CVT, all the joy is immediately killed, second, with modern engines that restrict power and responsiveness until you rev the ever-loving shit out of it,…

I'm no banker or financial expert in any way, but I'm pretty sure charging $47,000 to a regular credit is um, not gonna work. Unless you have the American Express Black (Centurion™) card.

Well, these are sport sedans by anyone's definition, but does the fact that they're sold by Nissan and Toyota mean that they're not? Car companies are actually capable of making a wide range of cars for different purposes.

Cheers good sir! Please enjoy this Stella on me.

And it'll be worth every penny.

Patrick Jane would definitely drive this. So quirky, so different, so boldly strange. All kinds of awesome...plus I could sit in the driveway all day long and play with that epic shifter and not even have to drive the thing. This receives my vote.

Asking nearly 30 Grand for a modified (and likely unreliable) nearly 7-year-old SUV is Grade-A, unadulterated CP.

From one Tercel enthusiast to another: I still have my '96 Tercel, although it's currently half-dead and sitting my garage. I considered junking it, but I've decided to keep and restore it, even though I have three other, really nice cars. There's something about this car that's so special - I see it as something…

Or you could just take a personal loan for $3,000. I know there are lots of pros and cons to this, but at least you wouldn't empty your savings.

6.) Paper Cone Speakers

Pennsylvania police this week were pulling people to the side of the road, quizzing them on their driving habits, and asking if they'd like to provide a cheek swap or a blood sample — the latest in a federally contracted operation that's touted as making roads safer.

My '96 Tercel also doesn't have one. I understand it's a base model, but how much would it have cost them to slap one on there and improve visibility by at least 50%? Maybe $30?.

I think this is one reason that low-end American cars can undercut their foreign counterparts. This must have shaved enough few pennies per vehicle to justify. Even if this saved $10 per wheel, this could mean a hefty $1+ million CEO bonus for cars with large production runs. Rinse and repeat.

I hate this too (my 2010 Camaro had a pump instead), but I always thought that this was a weight-saving, not a cost-cutting feature, although a donut-size spare should only weigh about 35-40 lbs.
