@TSJ:

I humbly nominate the 1998 mk. I Ford Focus (Europe/International). With its multi-link suspension and crisp handling it redefined what a small, family-friendly car should be like, and it is affordable to boot. Beside being a great driver's car, it also looked awesome compared to anything else in the market at that…

@Eggwich McSpencer: I spent this summer driving around LA and SF a bit and you are right. San Francisco isn't a bad town to drive in if you just let it take the time it takes. (LA is much worse)

So sad. My thoughts go to the Lenz family.

@Pessimippopotamus: They did go all in on glitz and glamour around the eyes didn't they?

@Tom.Cruise.Is.Weird: Haha, awesome.

@skitter: Thanks.

@zekestone: Perhaps, although he does tend to drive fast, and not always under the right circumstances. I'm surprised he hasn't crashed more than that one time.

@BrtStlnd: Was that not a bit uncalled for? Seeing as English is not my main language, grammar can be a problem at times. Speaking three different languages does not help either.

@highmile: Exactly. This is by far the best automotive safety ad I have ever seen. It pushes all the right buttons when it comes to altering peoples habits.

@BrtStlnd: Of course. Cufflinks are on of the few signs of a man who takes his appearance serious. I have quite a few sets which I wear as often as I can justify and I'm only 21.

".... and then it went bang!"

A 100 mph isn't that fast. I do that on the motorway often. The thing is to do it under the right circumstances, i.e. light traffic, good road conditions, good visibility etc.

Hey asshats? Yeah you! There is a reason why they have stunt drivers, roll cages and a shit load of cars when they do this in movies: They fuck up sometimes before they get it right.

@Ash78, working for the rat race: *Cheeky monkey

@1AJeremy: True, I bet if you peel of the nice bodywork it'll be patched together with some shoddy wielding. They probably cut some corners on the safety-stuff as well, you know, to keep the weight down.

@1AJeremy: That is VERY custom. I like the paint-job though, you can really tell they put a lot of effort into it ;)

I would yank out the batteries in it and save a bit of weight. Less weight = more fun. Although I'm not sure how that will affect the weight distribution. Knowing Porsche they probably thought of that.

@BroncoMech: That could be a fine match. The 250-260HP it produces in the current version could be upped nicely with a turbo (Abarth could probably help them there)

@BroncoMech: True, but I would still prefer a trubo-V6 than a V8, but if it can't be any other way at least it will have the same sound as the original.
