Hahahaha ahhh. I wasn’t listening to the audio. I suppose I see the problem then.

It doesn’t matter how handsome Ryan Gosling is, he does not have the ability to drive highway speeds in reverse. How many backwards gears did that Mustang have? Sorry, no.

Hahaha, well, Chet better be a manual or you’re going to catch some real hell.

Thank you, Doug. I have come up with a few other completely original ideas to help you, and, by extension, the Jalopnik readers:

Ha, kinda want this to be COTD now just to find out

Today I’ve decided to thoroughly address this situation from top to bottom. To do so, I will ask all the tough questions: How did it start? What happens next? And what will we do when our nation’s used car lots are bogged down with electric Nissans that cost as much as an adult llama?

I don’t know what Tom’s source is, but I’m pretty sure he’s plainly wrong. On top of that, your comment doesn’t make sense, since Wahlberg is shown driving a non-S throughout the entire movie.

Someone else said that, too. But why in the world would you do it? Swapping the hood, exhaust, bumper and then dubbing the sound of the supercharger in would be at least as expensive as just getting the real thing.

Best in class interior. Mazda 3 will give it a run, though.

They could, but why do it if you’re not going to do it to all of them? Would have to change the exhaust as well. Plus, you can hear supercharger whine throughout shots of the red one and not in others.

There are actually a lot more differences than the exhaust, but they removed most of them for the movie. The other differentiator, which they left for the movie, is whether or not you see a hood scoop or not.

Calling BS there. I’m pretty sure they only ever show the woman driving an S, and the other two are never an S at all. Here’s a shot from the movie when Wahlberg isn’t driving. Plus, I’m fairly certain that they could have taught Wahlberg. Going out on a limb to say he’s faced more difficult challenges on movie sets.

Had never noticed that. I did notice that the other two are never S models, though, which is bothersome because the engine noise is way cooler when they’re shooting the blue car throughout this scene.

The answer is 8. You’re welcome:

Half of these are awesome.

I think that was on Jalopnik, actually.

This will be the trashy car of all the trashy cars in about 10 years.

I’d sneak The Art of Racing in the Rain in here. Anyone who enjoys reading is likely to enjoy this book, and accidentally gain a handful of cool knowledge about racing and Ayrton Senna.

That was some truly piss poor driving. That said, I’m impressed by how flat the underside of a 328 is.

Haha yeah I thought about the electric parking brake scenario. Does your car have hill start assist?
