Do any of the hosts actually have kids?

Maybe I am in the minority here, but I wish Mazda would just build a damn fixed-roof Miata. I would love for a little hatchback, or in imagination land, a shooting-brake.. But I would settle for a new version of this:

Dude, post one example of it working. One single one.

Come on, people. Haven’t we figured out by now that “public/private partnership” is a grift? The anti-government hysteria whipped up by businesses looking for taxpayer $$ has made people into easy targets. Infrastructure will never be, and should never be a profit driven enterprise. Pool our resources and get it done

Now playing

While not technically a V8, the W8 is my favorite 8 cylinder sound. To quote a friend “it sounds like a wookie orgasm”.

This guy pretty much sums up my mental picture of every "Facebook Freedom Fighter" I see in the comment section of any news story posted online.

Steps for those interested in buying this car:

If you think gun laws in Texas are strict, you’re smoking crack.

“Think of it this way, they’re not punishing people for driving a competition vehicle, they’re just rewarding those that buy the products they make.”

You guys really should fact check this stuff. Mercedes Benz’s of about 15 years ago used to be over engineered. These days they are rolling around with a modular engine made when they owned Chrysler that was based on some Pentastar plans. In comparison to the cars that earned Mercedes their reputation the new vehicles

The facts charts are so out of wack. It’s like the E class 0-60 in 2.3 seconds and gets 200MPG and only cost $12,000. Yes the little italics indicate which version but they don’t belong together in the same group. Each class series should have it’s own group so people can judge if they are getting a decent car at 52K

This. Lower A-pillar rust usually means the repair is a potential clusterfuck as the windscreen might need to come out.

This looks bad. Still, for overall package NP

Top of the line in utility sports, Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!

Yeah, that’s my ruling also. Technically correct, but the headline is really fine.

Just to back you up a little bit, in your own article of the most expensive crashes the only more expensive single-car crash was the Ferrari 250 TR, the repairs of which probably cost less than the $4M write-off this Agera has become

Those ultra-rare classics don’t actually cost that much to repair though, and they do get repaired. It’s just some steel and aluminum and a few guys with the skill set. This thing, with bonded CF monocoque is probably just a write-off.

Well, the two vehicles that were worth more than this and involved in a single vehicle incident were both on a track in an HPDE or a race of some sort. So, while you may be technically correct, and while that may be the best kind of correct, I think I’m going to have to give Justin the benefit of the doubt and assume
