I was disappointed that I couldn't find any TV coverage of the race until I saw this video. If this was in any way a highlight of the race, then I missed less than nothing.

Is she from Easter Island?

The reason sighted people hate the Panamera is 100% the fault of the designer, not the photographer. I'll admit that photographing the POS is a hostile act, but it isn't the photographers fault it looks like it does. The Panamera looks far worse on the street than it does in photos anyway. There was a matte finish one…

I think E28s and E30s are the pinnacle of BMW. Full stop. They rusted or lacked in various other ways before that, and they stopped being quality cars afterwards. As far as I'm concerned, West German cars were interesting. German cars? Not so much.

I had an '88 E30 with an M20 and loved it. When I sold it, it had 155K miles and the mechanicals were still fresh. The body had lost its starch though, which was my reason for selling. Mind you it had been airborne a number of times... I've a friend that restores E28 M5s. His first one had high miles and hadn't…

The first engine lasted 120,000 miles. The replacement engine has 100,000 miles. How much is it worth when it is a 240,000 mile grey market wagon in need of a very expensive engine replacement? The mileage hurts it as an ownership prospect and the lack of the original engine doesn't help its prospects as a future…

Public management has already failed. All Otto Flimm can do with his obstructionism is make sure the track gets neglected to the point that all really interested parties can claim it is dead and repurpose the land.

The TSX is definitely the one I'll miss. I drive a 2004 when I'm visiting my parents, and it is a great combination of qualities that came together to form an even greater whole. The FJ is interesting too, but everybody that wants one probably already has one, and they're not the sort of car you're going to pile miles…

The Corvette Museum is going to restore these sports cars. Fiat does this to Chrysler's heritage sports cars on purpose.

It was supposed to look five hundred years into the future. Turns out it was two years. Oh well. It was funny when it first came out.

The thing about these frames is that they were built by a supplier in a UAW organized plant that didn't maintain the written specs of the contract. While it was irresponsible of Toyota to rely on a UAW supplier for such an essential component, it doesn't make me want to buy a truck that has even more UAW content.

In other words, Volvo liked it too.

Of course, this is all going to come down to the way the production Levante looks, drives and feels when it goes on sale... eventually. But as a more exclusive competitor to the Cayenne and Range Rover Sport, it won't have Jeep roots to drag down its reputation – no matter how good those roots would've been.

Based on factors like safety, reliability, quality, owner satisfaction and performance, CR put the Tesla Model S at the top of their list, saying essentially that it's high-tech, great to drive and puts out zero emissions. Ka-kow!

There is a big lesson to be learned from this, one that absolutely no US State Department has ever learned. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend.

The 500 Abarth has a drag coefficient of 0.367, a figure that would have been respectable thirty years ago. I never said anything about what people should or shouldn't buy. Just because an Abarth isn't a hot hatch doesn't mean it shouldn't be of interest to anyone. I said in my first post on the topic that it was a…

We disagree. What can I say? Cars like the Golf, 3, Panda, Fit, etc.... are designed from the inside out. While packaging is compromised for style sake, the primary purpose is functional design. The current 500, Beetle, and Mini Cooper had the opposite genesis. Their design process started with an image of another car…

I have three Honda products. All three have been recalled in the last year. I already mentioned the Acura. The wires were fine after 10 years, so I didn't bother responding to the recall. How often do 10 year old cars get recalled for such things? If the wires had needed any attention, I'd have marked it down to age…

Honda and Toyota are targeted by the NHTSA in order to allow UAW brands to put out lists like yours. Our 10 year old TSX was recalled for possible discoloration of under hood insulators. Does that compare to Jeep fires? Escape fires? Cruze fires? Cobalt steering column lockups? Buying a UAW car is so stupid that it is…

This expresion, "space efficient," I don't think it means what you think it means. The 500 is the bones of a space efficient modern hatchback(2nd gen Panda) dressed in a late '50s costume cut for a rear engined car. It is the opposite of space efficient in the modern hatch mold, having the same wheelbase and about 60%…
