Unless GM really screws up the product mix with manual pink convertibles or something, the early cars will sell quickly or will be filling existing customer orders. Sending them to dealers that sold last year's run-out cars is just about rewarding dealers that helped keep the line moving. I guess the 428 Roadster…

Whoever wrote that bit about demand initially outstripping supply so they need to get cars to the dealers that can move them quickly doesn't have logic at their disposal.

I peeked at your history. You denigrated NASCAR fanaticism in the face of objective reason. The effort and talent that goes into restoring this car to recognizable functionality could just as easily go into something that could make you very rich. In the case of a Mini Clubman, you're not doing the world any favors…

It's such a hard fought title, being the car that killed ultimate driving machine. Was it the cynical Z3, built on old chassis parts to a price and at a time when BMW was already scrimping on things like cooling components? Was it the heinous E65 that ruined 40 years of graceful(if Corvair inspired) styling…

I like the idea of an Isle of Fiesta TT. They could run it like an autocross. Maybe do it on a weekday morning to minimize the impact on other park users. Too bad we have such a bunch of jerks in local government. Anything new will be summarily denied while established programs of powerful political cronies are…

Apparently Volvo/Chery stopped buying these engines from Yamaha in 2010 and stopped using them in 2011. They don't have a good reputation in the Volvo tech community. Odd that they're racing them. OTOH, I suppose they could be racing any engine and just saying that it is the 'Volvo V8,' just like back when they said…

I live very near by. There's no reason to leave the road at a velocity sufficient to clear the beach. It's a park, and there are definitely lots of cyclists, people walking their dogs, or setting up their camps to picnic, kite-surf or fish at 7 in the morning on a Saturday. I think the speed limit is 30 mph, although…

That sums it up pretty much. There isn't a single topic Obama is right about.

At least it wasn't an F1. These are still available.

Agreed on the donk part. Looking at the first photo, these are spoda wheels; as in you're not supposed to be here. It's his car. He can do what he wants. The Arrow pickup paint job is in good fun, but 18s on a 901 based car is...not to my taste.

Good point! I didn't notice them there.

What if they suspended basic services for 21 years? 25? Maybe they could just shut down the city and zone it 100% business. Get rid of the "schools" and social services. Relax environmental regulations and taxes. People with families can commute to work from solvent cities.

Did Audi make him remove the rings? The twerp loves making a big deal about how he can't stand attention, yet he drives a leopard print sports car. I'm not overly sympathetic.

Is that you Saddam?

When did they go out of production again? I'm not sure I've ever even seen one.

And yet the Civic Si sedan was still quicker than the last GTI and the Focus ST in Car and Driver testing. I guess 'sports compacts' are a pathetic class now. OTOH, a Civic Si costs the same in Bernanke bucks as the Prelude did 20 years ago.

It is possible for women to enjoy sex within a monogamous relationship. I enjoy beer, but I walk past some bars without entering them. I enjoy driving as fast as I possibly can, but I try to leave it at the track. I enjoy pizza, but I still fit in a coach airplane seat. In my experience, while sluts may have more to…

Maybe their property values are low because too many people park GM cars in front of their houses.

This shouldn't constitute a crime, because property values.
