I was kind of embarrassed when a passenger noticed me double clutching and asked me if I thought I was a race driver or something. I told him I plan on making my synchros last 300k miles and that I only do it on downshifts or when the tranny is really cold. Still felt kind of a tool, but it's muscle memory at this…

Wow- can I pre-order one now? The current car may be good at some things, but man is it boring and homely. I really hope they stay true to the concept as much as possible

I thought massive veiny cocks are usually found INSIDE the bimmer...

What ever happened to good old fashioned tire slashing to prove an expensive, but not total-loss kind of point?

Nailed it- this is THE internet car. The fact that you just can't get one over in the states unless you're Paul Walker, and nobody's really seen one except at SEMA shows makes it extra special and susceptible to internet conjecture and forum superstardom.

The comment about the small business owner doing well thing is hilarious. Totally agree on that unless the business is a gym or landscaping shop... For a while it was H2 all the way for those dudes. I have no idea what their go to is since that automotive abortion is no longer sold. F350 king ranch maybe?

I think the answer really depends on who is asking. I usually say "Nissan Cube" just to see their reaction.

Agreed- Matt's on-screen dialog makes him sound like a Clarkson understudy. Not a bad thing necessarily, but sometimes you need to STFU and let the cars do the talking.

Sorry-I love the BRZ, what it stands for, and the fact that there is a cheap lightweight RWD Japanese sportscar again that's not a Miata. But Gottdamn does it sound horrible.

Loved that car on Comedians in Cars getting Coffee. An old Seinfeld driving an even older Letterman in a supercharged volvo wagon... good episode

Have you ever seen the European idea of an RV? Their caravans are pretty lame. Here in the greatest country on earth, we pull 35 foot 5th wheel campers and 6-figure speedboats on triple axle trailers with big-ass 8mpg duallys. Don't hate.

For any of you who have ever been processed, we should take that cop to county and have him hold his coinpurse and jump up and down while a group of inmates taunts him and cracks jokes about his little twig and berries...

Didn't they already do this in Texas? IDK, I think it's fair to let the manufacturer sell direct to the public... why not? How else would a boutique car company like Tesla move their units? Maybe they can strike a deal with Costco or Sam's Club to distribute their overpriced junk (did i say that out loud).

Ahh the early 1990's... in my opinion the pinnacle of Japanese automotive design and manufacture. I think this was a KL series engine, which is the granddaddy of the Ford Duratec v6- which was also used in those ridiculous Noble supercars. So in a way this is a distant relative of the Noble M400. Neato.

Now just imagine that same run in a nut-job 2000hp diesel semi truck. Mike Ryan is a very brave man:

This is a witch-hunt. It sucks that 51 people died in fiery car crashes, but you know what- people die in car crashes (around 30k per year in the US actually). If the NHTSA is the sanctioning body for automotive safety, then didn't they screw up by letting Jeep put these 'deathmobiles' on the road in the first…

I think I might be the only person here who likes pretty much everything about this car. I like the funky looks, I like the engineering/technology, I like that it's the underdog in so many ways... I'm a little surprised that fellow Jalops are so anti-this car. It's a small turbo (with an available manual trans) that…

High top conversion van with 26" flatscreen and PS3. I have kids so my requirements are a little different... I'll take space and kid-distracting gadetry over a drop top or something fast, cuz there's nothing slower than a road trip with bored kids.

Sliders on both sides is hot- Look out Mazda5

She never had her car... I guarantee if she had been double clutching instead of granny shifting, this would have never happened.
