Things I wish I thought of: Exhibit A

I think it was an honest question because most Alabama fans don't really know what English sounds like.

No. Reviews can't account for what comes in the future.

So there is an objective scale then? The fastest car gets a ten? If you are norm-referencing then I guess that makes sense, but only if you go back and re-evaluate or change the ratings on every car if a faster one comes along.

I'm curious as to what the final cost of it all when it was said and done.

It's an interesting story all in all though.

Not going to lie, I want one. As a daily driver to boot, but not to impress anyone. Sure, a new car may approach the same HP and be AWD, but because of bloat, rapidly hurtling towards 2 tons of girth and electronic gee gaws up the ying yang. You definitely have to buy into the "intangible mystique", and think at least…

Continuing to nitpick comments (sorry!) but this comment right here sums it all up perfectly.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but there's a few facts about the GT-R you've got wrong, or rather, facts you're ignoring.

Yes, it would have been a AWD Supra... But still, such a nice car and the rarity adds a lot to the allure. Is it incredibly special only based on the look, ~300HP and AWD... Its in the upper echelon of coolness on that alone. The rarity adds a ton though. And the fact that only other car people would appreciate adds…

I actually agree with you. As much nostaligia as we want to have for some of these vehicles.. (especially so for people like myself who grew up playing the original Gran Turismo on the PS1 & have loved every Fast & Furious movie made) I would never even bother looking into owning one of these vehicles. I also agree…

They use to make a credible alternative to the 3 series, but with the Q line, no manual, electric steering, and dumb nomenclature, they've clearly lost their way there.

Yep, pretty much. It's a neat car, and the "we can't get it here" factor always made it a lot more appealing than it really is. But when you get down to it, it's a Japanese M3. A semi-exotiic-ish sports sedan from the late 80's. If you were dying for the driving experience, a 3000Gt, Supra, 300zx, RX7, etc would get…

Water you talking about? It looks eau-k to me.

It's like Inception, except with cars!

Please, the whole region is backwards and living in the past. The opinion of a Middle Eastern country I value the LEAST is the opinion that comes from another country in the region. Why? because the Middle East is a playground full of kids, living in the past, and fighting over who is right.

No, but most Finebaum callers are.

Andrew Sullivan would've written a 5000 word post on why living in NYC is akin to slowly dying of pin pricks.
