@Baby Beater Benz: the prescience of Idiocracy really was disturbing wasn't it?

why are people so dumb?

Rest in peace young man.

@Scandinavian Flick: and an overdue <3 clicky for you too.

@rodrigotrigo: Agreed. <3 clicky for that. I hate the knee jerk Prius hate around here.

This is so awesome I can barely contain my elation.

@pauljones: Is it possible to have a Thread Of The Day?

I want a cellphone jammer for meetings! That would be great!

@BeanBone: 'sup.

@pidgeonsplatz: What? Limited slip diffs are poor-man's 4wd! the LSD in my Miata made it my favorite winter driver in PA last year. Just stupid fun and almost unstoppable. If you did get stuck it was so small and light it was easy to shovel/push out. I had a permanent grin on my face driving that thing in the snow.

@heltoupee: Good call. There are Cheerios so deeply embedded in my car that they will inevitably be there until the car goes to the crusher. And we're not even going to talk about stains from known and unknown substances. Kids can ruin a car faster than most other things.

@compOsvt: that brought a tear to my eye and I'd promote this incredibly sad story if I could.

@BeanBone: I picked up a bone stock 1.6 NA and the car just demands to be revved. If you don't redline it at least once on any trip I swear I hear it crying after I shut it down.

@They call me MISTER Scroggs!: A Blessing on your garage good sir. Thank you.

Too late. This already happened to my Matrix when my wife was driving home a few months ago. It didn't totally stall out but it acted as if the throttle cable was made of rubber. You could floor it and it would rev to ~2k.

@a1veedubber: I'd promote this if I could. Brilliant.

@Motor_Yakuza: I hope it is number two. The back in photo #3 is horrible. Why do designers insist on giving us hatchbacks that can't actually carry anything and have horrible rearview visibility?

Congrats on the COTD.

@JackTrade: I too have a geeky fascination with and appreciation for those guys.

I just love how no official will explain or take credit for what happened.
