Great Themes, Great Cars, and not one bloody E30. Are you still going to tag the BMW's like you did the last race?

I remember when this concept was introduced.... yes I am that old...

@Triborough: Dealerships are individual businesses similar to the appliance dealer or the furniture store in your town.

This guy had quite the set-up. A fully preped BMW, Race Trailer, and looks like a Sprinter (motorhome conversion?) pressed into towing duties.

This is not all that surprising, since this was really nothing but vaporware to begin with.

@junkman: So, what color did you finally paint the (oh I forget what that custom Toronado is called)?.

@Uncle Bo, piston forger: Ugh, Georgia. Even if the job paid twice as much as I'm making now, there would be no way I'd relocate to Georgia, though there's a lot of bargain homes up for sale right now.

Is it so wrong to enjoy these cars and participants over the cars and participants of that damn Gumball rallye? These cars are genuine, those are movie props. These participants are real enthusiasts, the ones in the gumball rallye are cartoon characters. These people are down to earth, the others are full of…

What's Oxycontin have to do with this? What, it's not the addictive pain killer? Oh, then never mind.

@85_Grand_National: Man, that is just wrong.....

Well, she looks about as well worn as some of those projects she's modeling with. Is it enticing? No. Is is vulgar? again, no. Does it make me want to try and purchase these heaps? Well, the heaps do, but not necessarily with her posing all over them.

So many of the 80's concept cars had that retro-futuristic theme. You can tell every decade by the "Futuristic" interpretations. The 50's future had tail fins, the 60's were mod designs, the 70's were shaded in pastel colors (Mauve comes to mind), and the 80's had these very sharp creases, that melted into oval blobs.

ahhhh, I've tried the Tilt Shift website as well, very cool indeed. While I'm not a big fan of Photoshop, I have been trying to get my arms around GIMP. It's going to take a lot more time than I have to get proficient, I'm afraid to say.

All this talk about how unprofitable fleet sales are, and how they kill residuals. Well, GM and Ford have taken the steps to cut back, and the Korean car makers stepped right in. When we all go on vacation, or on a business trip, we want affordable car rentals, and the only way to do that is to have affordable cars to…

So, the US Government will be taking majority control of the company. It's really not a big surprise. It's American Leyland, and it will turn out exactly the same as the British Counterpart, producing cars no one wants, with build quality second to everyone, and still collapsing under it's own weight.

@jodark: That really makes absolutly no sense at all. Last time I looked, the French don't have mass graves since the 1940's, neither do the Dutch, the Danes, the Belgians, the Swiss, the Swedes, the Norwegians, the Fins, or the Spanish. Don't equate Socialism with Totalitarianism, in which the key ruler is large and…

I don't know why the car companies don't rent their tracks out to SCCA, NASA, LeMons, for events. It would be one way to make money.

@elwood: oh phuleeze.... NASCAR is exactly the opposite. All the cars look the same, instead of Champagne, the audience is swilling in very stale, very cheap beer; instead of dressing to the nines, they are barely dressed at all; Instead of conversation in a hushed and reserved manner, there are streams of expletives;…

Again, I'm taking the low road on this. All those prety Ferraris, Porsches, and Ford GTs. People seem to get excited about looking at these thoroughbreds, but like the horses that were in the run for the roses, only used to delight the wealthy elite that gather at these events, raising champagne glasses, and toasting…

Killing the Wrangler? KILLING THE WRANGLER? Are they mad? Are they Insane? What a bunch of idiots.... ok, now I've calmed down....
