Without an American team/driver you're never going to have anyone with an advertising budget who cares.

Is there an American manufacturer or driver competing? If not, then probably no.

That's fine for personal computers, but doesn't really work with cars. Again, one has greater potential for loss of human life than the other.

I... I don't know what to say. Just, WOW. Heartclick indeed.

A computer doesn't potentially become a massive projectile in a public thoroughfare upon software failure. (Rocket powered PCs not withstanding). If you're overclocking to the point of causing fire (meaning your thermal shutdown failed) and you don't have a fire extinguisher anywhere in your house, and you've failed…

I feel like an older 5 series would have been better suited for the list. Not that the 3-series is bad or even not a luxury car. (How bad could they be, they're a dime a dozen here in Los Angeles?)

Honda CVCC.

Stallman doesn't really address the liability issues in improperly modifying automotive software.

I can get a new WRX sedan with over 200hp, leather and navigation for less than the cost of a new 3-series base.

I'd be willing to bet I could buy an economy car similarly equipped. The only thing making it "luxury" is the BMW nameplate.

I'm amused by the 330i showing up. It's the economy car of the BMW lineup, and it makes the luxury list?

Here in Los Angeles, 911s are probably the most common 80's cars still around.

Love me some Miller-Meteor!

The correct phrase should have been "DriftER type".

5 shades of grey/silver, 2 puke greens/yellows, 3 shades of dirt (tan/brown)

I like this idea too.

And 9 months of shitty weather.

While the appeal of a used (and therefor discounted) WRX is strong, how does one tell if said used WRX was used by boy-ricer or mid-life-crisis man? (Assuming stock appearance.)

:D Turbo Trans Am is on the list!

If you're willing to buy a rough example turbo Regal, they can be cheap to purchase. If you're looking for a clean Grand National, they're not.
