Yes, responsibility. I know ALL about that. See, when I was single, I was so IRRESPONSIBLE, it drove my parents to drink. My whole life from age 17 on until I got married was CARS. A job was just a way to fund my passion. I would deny myself any luxuries in clothes or entertainment so that I could buy the next great…

Yes, sad, pouting, downtrodden, crestfallen face. To think that I could have had an Exige rather than an Evo X in my garage.

Yes, you are so right. Kind of the story of my life. I could give other examples of either cars or TVs or houses, but you get my drift. Timing is everything as they say.

Robots. Autonomous cars. Everything computerized. Kind of reminds me of the end of the movie "Patton" with George C. Scott. Patton is riding a horse after the war has been won and being interviewed by a group of reporters:

OMG, a cement mixer on its side sliding right towards that car. THAT would be a nightmare.

It is indeed, but I am not a practical person. You can't beat the cache of the Lotus. See, I almost bought a new Europa back in 1976. But, I only had money for one car at the time, so I bought a new VW Scirocco instead. For me, Lotus personifies the essence of what a pure sports car is. The problem with the Europa as…

No, I am not kidding. I wish I were. That is why it hurts so much. They wanted to get rid of them. They were 2006 models that had sat for 5 years. The interiors had a little fade as did the paint, but that could have been addressed.

Stop it. Stop it right now. You just had to post this not knowing that the Elise/Exige is my dream car. At a dealership near where I live, there were 2 new Exiges sitting forlornly for several years with no buyers. I wanted one so badly. But, the price was too high. So, I bought a new 2011 Evo X. Of course, right…

The main thing is that I shut your trap. You said it was not functional. I said it was. I called you out for being a nobody and you have demonstrated that you are that. I am vindicated. I am not mad, but I will hold fast to what is the truth. Think back to your original, nasty post to me and successive posts where you…

No risk to anyone but the Dear, Glorious Leader. Go Pro dash cam to capture his amazing flying skills while everyone else is safely on the ground.

I feel that F1 needs to be reinvented. There has to be a way to get more money equitably to all the teams. There should be room for innovation so that people like Adrian Newey don't leave. I would personally love to see an engine equivalency situation similar to the 70s and 80s where teams could use a 3.0 N/A engine…

The RS was unobtainable even back when it debuted in 1973. I remember all the car magazines going gaga over the car as did I. The chances of ever seeing one in person was between zero and nil. What put the car on the map for me was when Mark Donohue raced an RSR version of the car in 1973 at the Daytona 24 hours. Both…

Dear Glorious leader is so multi talented. Flies airplanes, maneuvers a submarines, learned to drive at age 3, drove 75 mph at age 8 and is the heartthrob of every woman in North Korea. Imagine that all the young, sexy women are ready to rip their clothes off for him. People everywhere adore him. Now, just for…

Dude, I am a baby boomer. B0rn in 1952. There weren't many Yuppies buying 16v Sciroccos in 1987. Most people buying them were fellow boomers. Here is mine just to prove to you that it was no Yuppiemobile:

Back in the 1960s, I had never heard of Toyota. Honda I knew because of their F1 car and motorcycles. What put Toyota on the map for me was the 2000 GT in the James Bond movie, "You only live twice". This Corona was kind of cool for its time. Sadly, this was my only connection to Toyota back then:

This car makes the VW Beetle look like luxury car by comparison. The concept seemed fine, but the execution is horrible. I would rather have called it the "Heartburn Zeta " rather than the Lightburn Zeta.

Naw, think about it. Having Stef AND the 911 would be a match made in heaven.

I sometimes wonder if this whole thing is a ruse by the DOD to confuse potential enemies so that they will underestimate the plane. One would have to assume that there are some things that are not being disclosed. And, you may be right about Canada. I really want to believe the best about the F35, but there is so much…

It seems like the F35 was crafted to be a jack of all trades so to speak. Given that the military has made mission specific planes become multi mission in their performance, I would think that CAS would have been given more consideration. But, obviously, I am no expert on the topic. I am rather simplistic about how I…

Stef, if I were not married, I would propose to you. Any woman who has such a fine appreciation for cars, especially savory ones like an air cooled 911, is someone who should be pampered, respected and loved. Thank you for all the wonderful articles you have given us in 2014. Hope you have a great new year and may we…
