My little wasn’t even born before grandpa was asking if she would prefer a power wheels Corvette or Camaro. If someone has a hookup for a kiddie C3 I can respray to match mine, do let me know!

Having once been an 18 year old girl, I can confirm that no 18 year old girl should really be driving a Ferrari.

If I pitch on it, can I get halvsies? Would love me a ZAZ

It would depend on the course, but I have a pretty solid ability to memorize roads. It’s like having a HUD nav screen embedded in your eyeballs. Hard to explain, but I can just *see* maps as I drive roads. I use the skill for hill climbing, but with practice I’m sure I could get a pretty good grasp on rally stages.

I’d like to meet the gel that saves my ass in a racing crash, not just a normal one.

*Raises hand*

Picky, picky! I’ll die from wrapping that sucker round a tree at 100+mph long before the cancer gets me.

Sounds good to me! Cooling goop in the summer sounds awesome and bonus points for it holding me in place while racing.

But then Fiat would get boring. I love the quirkiness and focus on fun character. It’s like they stole Mazda’s advertizing department too when they nicked the Miata.

Honestly, I baby an Abarth, I’m failing to see the size problem with a Beetle, but if sizing up is desired I would say an X over an L. I will give the 500L it’s cool ass see-through A pillars, fair enough, but otherwise it’s tragic...and that’s coming from a Fiat fangirl. The X has much better styling and because it’s…

3 and a half weeks to fix my clutch. Otherwise, my Abarth has been nothing but divine. Wouldn’t trade that little bastard for the world.

Co-drivers are why I could never do rally. I guarantee at some point I would just snap and shout at them to fuck off cause I already memorized the road. This is why geography nerds sometimes make bad drivers, navigators are superfluous...until we get lost and painc cause we’re never lost.

But there was also a vast array of other car makers to choose from

Generally anything focusing on James May being James May.

Frankly, 2016 has been such a vicious bitch that I’ll be plesantly surprised if Clarkson doesn’t keel over before the month is out. As for May, I quite like him when he’s being quietly nerdy, so he is more than free to keep making shows involving putting things together as much as he wants. He can get all nesty in his…

Ford is a company with a grand history of slithering. We all know about the racism and historically creepy manufactured culture for employees, but I find it interesting that in the book I’m reading (something of a travelogue published in 1933) all the vehicles mentioned on the roads of Soviet Russia are Fords and…

My husband would jump on that so stupid fast! Manual brown diesel wagon with a Mazda badge, he would divorce me if I said no to it.

In my experience, those are the best kinds of dealers. If they’re tucked away or otherwise isolated from the rest of the conglomerate, they tend to be left to their own devices and this results in a freedom to operate how they want. The employees are typically a lot better and the experience is more chill.

I’m in a similar boat with Fiat. My local dealer here took three and a half weeks to fix my clutch. My Fiat dealer back home was the definition of awesome, so it’s actually kinda sad. I’m loyal to the brand because I love the cars, but damn do I hate the local service.

Well, I guess if you spend all your money on the car, you have to skimp on the model and wardrobe. Or maybe she is actually going to the beach in those shoes?
