@rocco.butterscotch: haha. At some point, you can't rebuild a car without spending ridiculous sums of money on it, which makes it more expensive than buying one of the collected cars.

@rocco.butterscotch: On the other hand, if they did drive them there wouldn't be E30 M3s in this good condition now, would there? Not likely. The collectors help preserve cars. Enthusiasts who are born too late to have enjoyed the E30 (I wasn't born in the '80s...) may yet have the chance to buy one :P

"Another show room with a Porsche in side..."

FSO Warszawa. With a body kit and new paint.

How do you change gears? There's no shifter in the interior pic and no flappy paddles.

@Homerjay is utterly alone.: Trash the iPhone then and get a smartphone that can actually do useful stuff ;). Even the lowly Blackberry Storm can multitask...

@Schm, enjoying his first desert winter. .: But, thanks to some very generous citizens in the UK, we DO get Top Gear within a few hours of airing. Yay torrents! And without paying TV tax.

@GreenN_Gold: there are uses for knowing who owns an IP or web site... [whois.com] is a database of web site owners.

blarg. Just doesn't look right. Add 1 part overweight, cheap American muscle car and 1 part exotic Italian sportscar and you end up with... this ugly mutt of a car.

Yeah, I saw the screenshot, but had to check the vid to see for myself.

Wow. You guys have to have very quick eyes. I barely noticed it when he was typing "who is truffaut" and had to pause it and go back over it a few times slowly to determine for sure that it was "who is the stig"...

@Brian Bourgeois: *incandescent lightbulb*

Based on their punishments for possession of a lightbulb, I'd be sentenced to die. Three times. By hermit crab.

How would unintended "acceleration" be scary on a Prius? It's not capable of accelerating at a fast enough pace to scare anyone... I've only ridden in one once, and I nearly fell asleep.

@BigCanada: lmao! I wouldn't have noticed it aside from your comment.

@JuryDuty: How do you know it runs movies "very nicely"? It has a 1Ghz processor, which is sub-netbook, and Apple hasn't released graphics card details yet, as far as I know. My netbook can do 720P HD with the H.264 codec, which so happens to be Apple's codec on their videos. Netbooks only weigh 3 pounds. If…

@r.b.3: Everyone thinks that they have some ability to drive while on a cell phone that everyone else just doesn't have. Stop fooling yourself.

"Make phone calls" NO. I've been almost run over by too many motorists who do this. If your mind isn't on the road, you're driving irresponsibly. Phone calls, or pretty much anything productive, should not be done while driving. As a motorcyclist, I beg you. :)
