It’s really not inappropriate at all. I understand that a lot of people put way too much emphasis on nudity and the sexualization of it. But if you are in art, which these students have to be, nudity is a part of your world. I drew endless figure studies of nude models, some of which are students making extra money.…

I don’t think this article changed my mind about the 4C. Granted, I haven’t driven it yet but I really get the feeling it’s a great car to drive but not a great car to own. Hell, my Cayman is already somewhat of a pain to drive on regular roads and it’s a “luxury” car. Screaming engines are awesome on the track - not…

Trippy, that is exactly my car and exactly my thought. I have heard though, that the newer Caymans are flirting closer to luxury cruisers than ours. I’ll like to drive one to see, since I just drove mine around at a Track Night in America event and I don’t think anyone with me would confuse it for a “luxury” car.

That’s the polished skid pad, if I saw the info correctly. Too slippery for skid marks.

This argument only works if you hold your foot over the brake pedal at all times - which leads to leg fatigue and letting your foot rest on the pedal, leading to excessive brake wear and confusing signals to the drivers behind you. If you keep your left foot on the dead pedal resting position then it takes just as…

Whoa - I knew about the inboard brakes - but the spring isn’t actually attached and separates when on a rack? Or was this during some suspension work? Although it’s awfully clean and new looking, some sort of adjustable suspension setup?

This used to be the case more when cars had less then 500 hp. Short of huge amounts of downforce or active aero like on a Zonda, modern AWD cars usually trump RWD simply because getting 500+ to hook up on any sort of street legal tire is tough. You notice that in the cases where the Vette is putting down these amazing…

That surprises me. The older Z06s had a rep for not being able to keep up cornering speeds. I did see the optional aero package adds a lot of downforce. That said, which would you rather commute in? I think the statement it’s the best all-rounder is sound. I’d love to ride in one of the Turbos - they say under the…

Sorry, nope. It’s slower to 60 and the quarter mile (though just barely). What make’s you think it’s going to be faster on a road course where the AWD grants even more advantage? You do notice that it is close behind the 918, which is pretty close to a million dollar hypercar? The Z06 is awesome for the money - but…

Really? Post up an add. I found this to be dubious and ran a quick search. I found two for 5900 - with undercarriage damage on one and flood damage on the other.

I’m not so sure that is really true. I’ve not driven one myself - but I have enjoyed other mid-engined cars. They do handle different. And the MR2 is pretty well known for rotating. At one SCCA autocross I attended, there were two; a first gen and a second gen. Both spun out repeatedly in the slalom. They were…

Real road makes a huge difference. I while back I read a bit where one of the car magazines tested which car made the best police car. One of the tests was to chase a “perp” around the police training facility which was a 4-5 block city simulated area, with potholes, gravel, man holes and such. The cop cars failed to…

Hmm, I guess Acura is probably in the same segment as Lincoln? I think they are sort of “near-luxury”? Or do Lincolns cost the same as BMWs? So BMW, Merc, Cadillac, Infiniti, Porsche are all RWD (with some AWD offered). Audi, Volvo, Lincoln and Acura are AWD or FWD. Hyundai went RWD when they decided to go upmarket.…

Ha, after driving two seats sports cars for a while now, I can’t imagine cruising about in a class A. I’ve always enjoyed RWD but it’s amazing what some of the manufacturers have done with FWD these days. I don’t think it will ever match up on a track day but for normal street daily, it’s not near as bad anymore. As…

Wait, what? According to some people in the internet (I think they are called “haters”), Ken Block can’t drive and never wins anything? Heh.

Ha, you really do have a thing for V8 in the front driving the rear wheels. And I found driving a dually to be... interesting but not fun. It feels like the read end is always dragging a bit when you turn. Made me think something was wrong. And cars should be fun - like I said, there are a lot of different things that…

I keep forgetting that people read Jalopnik that have desires other than oversteer and wheel spin. But seriously, I think comfortable/luxurious can exist with engaging and fun. My point was that there are more was to make a good car than the V8 and rear drive formula. Although, in this case - if comfy and luxurious is…

A) I was giving him some grief. He even laughed. A community of car guys should be able to joke around. B) Fuck you and die in a fire. C) I drive a Porsche Cayman S so if you think I dislike fast rear wheel drive cars, you fucking failed at reading comprehension. Don’t lecture people in the comment section - it’s…

You know, all medical insurance is required to cover mental health visit these days, so you could, you know, talk to someone about your belief that a 94 Town Car is good looking. :)

Alrighty, a 1990 Honda Accord LX stickered for $15,895 or so. Adjusted to 2014 dollars, that’s $28, 357. You can get a 2014 with the CVT and the 4 banger for $26,500. And that is with more than 2 speakers standard, a ton more power, much larger, a standard rear view camera and a plethora of features that were unheard…
