I own a Corvette...I despise at least 90% of my fellow owners. I was once at a show where I saw a factory fresh C7 take home the award for best paint. I swear to god I nearly vomited

Hi, I’m a maniac C3 owner, but not as you describe. I am the kind of maniac who looks at a slightly beat up but still fairly nice ‘82 CE and says “yep, that’s the height of Corvette perfection right there.” Late C3 owners are really kinda their own breed of weirdo within the greater Corvette community. We like to take…

Sure, the dealership sounds douchey, but there’s a whole lot of us who would absolutely love to be making $30+/hr

Focus ST. Hatey hate hate! On paper, it’s good. To any sane and logical person, it’s good. To me it’s too damn quiet, fat, poorly laid out, lacks usable space for its size, and it’s very uncomfortable. But the highest sin it commits is having no soul. None. Not even a flicker of personality.

Hi, I’m a 28 year old millennial with a house in the ‘burbs and a 15 month old daughter. I generally haul the kid in a Fiat 500 Abarth but occasionally give her a ride in my C3 Corvette. Oh, and I recently picked up a project MR2

Preach! I never buy cars for anything that comes in numerical form (minus alphanumeric names.) I buy 100% on how the car makes me feel. Does it stir my soul? Will I be smiling in it every single day no matter what odd squeaks, rattles, or catastrophic explosions it produces? Does it produce a consistent 180 degree…

That’s what kinda caught me for the seemingly very lax organizers. In the past they have complied with safety regulations for other events, therefore there’s every reason to believe they would have complied in this case if they were asked to.

I have a kiddo and while I agree that the modern safety standards aren’t there, my daughter occasionally gets to ride in my Corvette with me. There’s no airbags and like half a mile of hood between her and a front end collision. Sure I get dirty looks from soccer moms in suvs, but getting to sit with your kid next to…

This is amazing! What an experience for you and Otto! One day I would absolutely love to take my daughter to something like this. She was autocrossing in utero and at her first cars and coffee at one week old. An event where she could actually ride in or one day drive the cars she sees around her all the time would be…

I feel bad for the organizers too, but hillclimb isn’t autox. I’ve had the worst happen to me at autocross, my worst injury was bruised collarbones from my harness. A homie of mine had the worst happen at a hillclimb, it nearly killed him. Safety is paramount at all events of course, but the risks on the hill is much,…

It’s not even necessarily red tape. We had a hillclimb cancelled where I am and ooh lawdy is/was the rumor mill in full effect. The real reason for cancellation (sorta a land dispute, hard to explain) somehow hasn’t been spoken of so it seems like most people are saying it was because of a crash. Being transparent is…

I’ll admit to being nervous about the MR2, it’s completely different from anything I’ve ever driven so the learning curve is steep. Thankfully the friend in charge of the build knows AW11s like the back of his hand and races them as well so I have his brain to pick and example to follow

Last may. I came out of an element late and had to transition too quick into a slalom at autox, tried to save a spin and thanks to a very stiff car and some unlucky pavement I flipped. I was fine, car was obviously totalled. I bought another 500A then got drunk and emailed Jalopnik for the what car should I buy…

I’m 5'4" and a tire iron is about the same size compared to me, so you can ballpark that as her height

Saaaame. When I flipped my Abarth, it was in attempting to rescue what would have just been a spin

Welcome to the League of Scorpion Killers. It sucks, I know. But chin up, you’re ok and the car wasn’t yours

My 87 MR2 told me to tell you to say that to her face.

He seems like kinda a dick on a personal level, but with 5 kids, the D is probably pretty decent and day bank account doe.

Mufflers are for bitches...which is why mine came from the factory without one. I agree for power in most cases, but sound is sometimes important. I’m an Abarth owner, this is a brand historically known for exhaust. If you take one of our cars and don’t do your absolute best to make it sing like an angel, you’re doing…
