@zeppelindan: Oh my typo, *straws.
White people, we all know they don't run as good as their competitors sometimes, but I'll be damned if they aren't easily hopped up and strung out on maximum-caffeine-boost.
@bradyb: A stock engine is not the definition of an engine swap.
I fail to see the racism, it seems the "tap dance" is a TV term, and they made a lame joke out of it.
I have one of these bugatti wind up cars, bought it in Austin last spring break. Buncha cool tin-cars.
@brandegee: as a kid I remember the Beetle before anything else, being retro.
That car has to be a hoot to keep sideways.
@tastypotatoes: The Nugget burns and leaks a quart every few weeks, it would seem. It only smokes if you run it out past 5,000 rpm, and the blow by isn't terrible.

@doug-g: In fact, Mercury and to some extent Lincoln were complacent with making boring and utterly average luxury cars and look what happened to them.
@doug-g: But the LS series of motors and the Sigma (Very close to the Zeta) platform are no Clydesdale. Both things known very well in racing. And beside's Jalopnik's ADD approach to the car, it's very subdued and comfortable when driven as such.
@doug-g: There was no point, besides Cadillac doesn't make land barges any more (the DTS being the closest to it).
@pauljones: Actually, that was for you.
@ttyymmnn: Holy dog shit! Texas, only steers and queers come from Texas Pvt. Cowboy, and you don't much look like a steer to me so that kind of narrows it down!
