Pretty much this...

Always been nostalgic of the C4 Corvette gauge cluster, I still think it looks futuristic

Exactly. I would love to sit and pick his brain about cars. It seems that he knows more about the cars than some of the reps that he has on his show, and it's their car...sometimes the new model!

I know how well the 12C's suspension works outside the racetrack, and this is basically the same system with some tweaks.

We've driven a few of the 12Cs and, despite what they're pushing, this is largely a 12C.

What's funny, is that I remember on a Jay Leno Garage segment that Jay said that Porsche was the first to use a prancing horse on it's badge (the horse on the coat of arms). I was thinking he may have meant actual production cars, but this little test provided some good info.

Yeah, there were only two fires caused by the part in question and over 100 failures total. That's not even accounting for fires after accidents or impacts.

Regardless, it's just an example.

And you're wrong, there are cars that spontaneously catch fire pretty often. Ferrari had an issue with the 458 early on when…

Dude, I mean really.

Search any car you can think the Tesla compares to and you'll find that there have been even more fires than the Tesla.

Why? They happen to use a very flammable liquid to propel them.

Tesla's catch on fire more…

Yeah, dude. And that scene where he changes clothes? Totally unrealistic.

But the transmission software bug they eventually patched on my car isn't going to burn my house down.

I didn't get this in in time (hah) but I just entered (hah) one of these for the first time (ok still hah) yesterday and I cannot imagine doing anything in there but driving.

"Mercedes AMG, dominating through Land, Sea, and Air...."

WHOA you just said the miata isn't a sportscar. While I agree with you, prepare for Armageddon.

So I didn't read this whole thing yet, so sorry if these were already addressed....

Out. Get out. GTFO. Out. You're done. No more Jalopnik for you.

exception to rule 1

Typical Audi product placement

NBC would be doing everybody a favor by giving "Jay Leno's Garage" a time slot.

They wanted "a car that makes everyone feel joy and happiness," he says, a car that makes life a little bit more worth living and becomes an "irreplaceable partner."
