The PC term for a "chick car" is, simply put, "cute." Chick cars are cars that girls think are cute and therefore desire to drive. Performance and pedigree are irrelevant.

Learning to drive a manual is only hard on a crappy car. On a sports car it's super easy because the clutch is responsive (i.e., not a mushy mechanical clutch) and there's decent torque for how much the car weighs. I imagine a Corvette barely even needs any gas to get started.

You believe in the bible? Please say you mean metaphorically and not literally.

Does it make me a racist if I make an educated guess as to the demographics of this church?

Seeing videos like this makes me wonder why I even bother fiddling with my near-stock MR2 when there's always going to be someone driving something like this...hehehe.

A highly modified Car X is still a highly modified Car X until the DOT recognizes it as having been remanufactured as something else.

Regarding the 911 GT1 video, I LOVE how the engine is mid-mounted instead of rear, yet they still call it a 911... It's Porsche admitting that the engine has been in the wrong place the whole time, yet they still refuse to build a mid-ship 911.

There are better, faster, cooler cars to do major swap work on than the SVX... Like putting an RB25 into a 240SX/Silvia, a V8 into an RX-7, or turboing a Miata.

The problem with racing costs aren't the speed, it's economies of scale.

I fly Delta between Asia and the US once or twice a year and I get all the free beer and wine I want, and all the movies/TV all-you-can-watch on demand. Food isn't bad considering that cabin air and altitude kills your palate.

Compared to what you get on an international flight, that is peanuts. Plus, the WiFi NEVER works properly on a buses because everyone is using it. "Relatively slow" is a codeword for "worse than 56K." You're better off using 4G.

The term bucket list comes from the English metaphor "kicking the bucket." So, no.

Bullshit, buses don't have amenities, period, or more room. Even the bathrooms are more cramped than airplane lavatories, if you have one at all. You're confusing buses with passenger trains.

The Roadster/Miata doesn't really belong on five-lugs anyway. Also, YESSSSSS. Cars have largely gotten bigger and heavier every year for the last 25 years. It's such a refreshing change for a car to get smaller and SIGNIFICANTLY lighter.

F1 driver, Toyota. Ok, rich people's problems.

Engineering the sound of a Harley is one of the biggest things in determining whether a bike goes into production or back to the drawing board (or the circular file). Believe me, the guy who is in charge of sound engineering is probably one of the best paid people outside the board of executives.

Skeevy-looking mongrel-Asian* import tuner models are by far the most depressing real job in the automotive industry. Especially the ones who go frontal.

Car tax on a Corvette or a Camaro costs over $1000 a year, which is more than 10 times what a Japanese Kei car costs and almost three times what a typical compact car costs. And that's BEFORE insurance and weight tax. Not to mention American cars are generally inferior to German cars... They are a tiny, tiny niche.…

Yep... and everywhere but England unless you build one from scratch. Here in Japan you'll see 20 year-old mid-range models going for 30-40K. Even the Suzuki-powered 120 is selling for like 50-60K here.

Sexy alignment tools are sex! I need a set of these...
