This is probably the truest thing I have ever seen typed in an internet comment-section.

LOL, that is the perfect reponse!

And these people also have a level of knowledge of their car and/or class that rivals Stephen Hawkings knowledge of astrophysics and will throw out numbers and information so minute and irrelevant to anyone but people just like them. Most people could care less that in ‘on January 4th in 1971 Ford ran out Ford brand…

While not directed at a single particular car, there is a group of people who I have come across who I call the ‘Car-Show Super-Competitor’. These are the guys who enter car-shows for nothing other than winning trophies and plaques to claim they have the ‘best car’ (That never actually gets driven)

Me? I’m indifferent, but I only deal with it the rare occasion I drive my wife’s 17 Highlander.

“becauseleaked details are gushing out quicker than piping-hot, redolent urine from a racehorse’s majestic meatus.”

This is something that I think many gearheads run into no matter the community.

This I can’t argue with. I have become an avid autocrosser and what I’ve learned in the short time I’ve done it is that you can have fun in whatever. I drive my STX rx8 and love it, my friend has a 220k mile del sol that burns oil and his exhaust broke on our way to the last event. He still had a better PAX than me.

This is easy. Saab Turbo-X Sportcombi manual:

First, I FINALLY got my airbag recall completed in my RX-8. Hopefully I will never have to use them.

Me too. If one is going to extract more efficieny out of a gasoline engine, this seems like the next progression.

This is tough.....

For me it’s anything Mazda rotary. I can manage eyerolls from even my closest automotive friends when I really get on a roll.

I would buy that.

Ugh *facepalm*

Great article as usual. You provide some of the most sensible car-buying advice on the internet.

This comment needs to be higher! Star for you sir!

Different strokes as far as I’m concerned. I had a Pontiac Fiero that ran high 10's at almost 130mph (and drove it around in the same spec) that had over 75 1/4 mile passes on. I also dragged my current fun-car, an ‘04 RX8, and ran high 14's at 94mph. I had fun doing both.

Turbo Teen’s freaky-ass face disturbed me when I was a kid and it still hasn’t got any better.

I sometimes am truly baffled by how hard it is for some people to not be shitbag human beings.
