What about AR vs. FAL? And I mean Armalite vs. FN.

End of story.

I believe he was responsible for a way to make compact American cars that is sadly in the minority.

It's not strictly a comeback, but Jochen Rindt posthumous F1 Championship deserves a place of honour.

Volvo, stick a Garrett "snail" under the hood and call it a day.

Yes, but if the car didn't fit it as standard it'd be messing with a classic... scary.

I meant the original 1968 GT40. In the new one I'd fit rather well, since I'm a couple inches shorter than you.

I wouldn't... Unfortunately I'm too tall to fit in :(

Because it gives you more control over your car. You're the master, she's your slave. You rule. She obeys. Use your stick right and she'll purr like a kitten or roar like a tigress. Thrash her or be gentle. You choose.

Weight =/= build quality. Is a Plymouth Volare better built than a VW Beetle of the same era?

Yeah right! Let non-racists stop using Stars and Bars so that only racists will fly them now! Brilliant!

I think it's more like wearing a pair of Nike air max in a black tie party. I find it too tall, too ostentatious and too pretentious. But then again, I like Citroëns and fintail Mercedes, my tastes are somewhat peculiar.

I mean that the styling Bangle introduced at BMW was appropriate for a brand with no image of its own. Something flashy and avant-garde, but not really what came to mind when one thought of a no-nonsense Ultimate Driving Machine.

That we can give sensible advice to non-gearheads because, you know, we know about cars.

It all began with Chris Bangle, who did his darnedest to make BMWs look like Kias with kidney grilles. And succeeded. Then all went dowhill. That, and the tendency of car stylists to get on bandwagons and follow fashions. Harley Earl or Virgil Exner created fashion, nowadays we don't know who leads and who follows.

Have a POS car.

That's the Spen King Method: use rocket exhaust (in sir Spen's original idea, turbine exhaust) for extra downforce at all speeds without the fuss, aerodynamic drag and dependence on speed of wings and spoilers.

I'll always "love" how in Europe turbines are bad for the environment but smelly soot-spewing Diesels are kosher.

They were not bad. They were just worse than the Golf it is based on, and more expensive to boot.

Never understood circumcision when one doesn't suffer from phymosis.
