My mom has an Element and its a cube truck inside but it drives like a bread van. And the 5sp auto never knows if it wants 4th or 5th gear. Makes a very decent road trip car though.

No brainer for me. Subaru Baja Turbo. Enough of a pickup when you need it. Seats 4 comfortably. Has some serious balls with the turbo motor. Gets totally usable gas mileage. You can throw some sticky rubber on it and auto-x it all summer and still get through snow all winter. Too bad nobody seemed to like them.

The Nissan Skyline raped and killed a girl in 1990.

1956 Lincoln. Mean looking beast with suicide doors in the back. You are required to carry a snub-nose .38 Special while operating the vehicle. DO WANT!.

Make it stop.

The GT350 should be a cone bashing V-6 with an extra 50hp, upgraded suspension, and only a manual transmission. Make it the king of showroom stock autocrossers. Right around $30K, not extraneous options.

@PrairieMoon: All I wanted in high school was as much subwoofer as possible in my car but I had no money. When I got my current car the factory stereo was shot and needed replaced and I worked for Circuit City so I got really nice Kicker speakers for cheap, an Alpine v12 amp and an Alpine 10in sub second hand and its…

Can I pick manual transmissions in cars? Even the best electronic dual clutch SMG is not as reassuring as kicking your own clutch. I really hope manufacturers never forsake those of us who want to row our own gears.

It took me months to be happy with the sub placement in my car. I tried everything to get as much bass as I could without getting boomy and obnoxious. Ended up being the simple behind the back seat facing the rear of the trunk sounded best along with learning the EQ of my head unit. Nice thumping but not bloated bass…

Hennessey Velociraptor 600. Where we're going, we don't need roads.

If any one remembers for the first 2 or 3 years of X-Games sports, weird shit like this is par for the course. I mean Super Unlimited Shovel Racing?

Assuming this isn't a coordinate hoax, its probably some sort of spy plane. Considering how interested the west is in the various conflicts in the region, we are probably looking at it as much as possible. But it would be cool as hell if it was aliens. Assuming they don't want to kill us all.

My 99 Jeep Cherokee already has the 4WD engaged. I wish I still had a giant field to hoon in. If I go to school its gonna be sideways.

BURT REYNOLDS. No man made more cheesy movies of pure hoonage. He is one of the biggest reasons I love cars. Smokey and the Bandit, Cannonball Run, Stroker Ace, etc. Also this.

@sighing: If you had a $7000-$10000 lens attached to a stick, wouldn't you want it to be the best stick you could get for the job? Its holding $15000 or more worth of gear, it should be the best possible tool for the job. For my $2000 worth of gear a cheap one will be sufficient.

Supermod Power Wheels. Its a PSYCHOBILLY FREAKOUT.

This will be the ultimate emulator platform when it gets hacked. Plenty of power to emulate everything up to PS2 games. I smell some N64 action in my portable future.

Great little car for more than double what it should be. I would totally be into this for like $6K or $7K but at $22K you can get a Cobra kit car that will do the same thing only better.

I heart Bokeh. Now the debate is use my Lensbaby plus creative app kit or my vintage 50/1.4? Both are bokeh machines.
