I hope so too, this will be my son's first Auto Show, and the first I have been to in well over a decade.

The only two real things keeping me from buying a Miata for a daily driver are the lack of back seats and they topless nature of it. This fixes both of those things. Damn, I want one, but due to brand loyalty, I will likely go with the Scooby.

3. That is unavoidable with a sweet car.

Nice one. At least the Jackie Chan movie showed that people were in the way, and that these were people's homes getting destroyed.

So true on the bus comments. I recently lost my car, and have yet to get my moto running/registered, so I have been commuting via bus. I spend 8-10 hours a day on the bus for a 4 hour job. I have taken almost 500 buses in the last two months. It is a horrible way to get around unless you are lucky enough for it to…

I know it is supposed to emulate the good qualities of classic Brit roadsters, but damn i really wish they would make a light rigid non-convertible MX-5. I saw a conversion fastback today that looked pretty damn sweet.

I've always hated the drive through the favela scene, and wanted the movie to end with the Marines lighting up the H2.

Isn't the Acura TL based on the Euro Accord? I mean, I know the TSX is essentially a Euro-R Accord, but I thought Wikipedia sited the the Accord as the base for the TL as well. Which means the TL-S is the closest thing to an AWD Accord.

I always though "TaRD"

The short-shifter should be mandatory safety gear in any place that has those menacing car-destroying things called "Trees".

That faux-diffuser thing isn't too bad looking.

Oh yeah, there it is. I prefer the cleaner lines of my M59 to the M59/66, plus the M59 doesn't have to have the newb-tube gear removed to be Cali legal. Fun to shoot either way, though.

The distinctive boxer burble actually comes from the placement of the turbo creating Unequal Length Exhaust, and the NA version of the current Subaru O4 cannot be made to sound like that unless you change the Equal Length Exhaust.

Cali tickets are ass-rape expensive. There are all kinds of extra fees once you get to court. I got dinged for 17mph over and they are trying to get me for over $700.

You can get merged on or misdirected into these carpool only on-ramp lanes. Stanley Roberts can fuck himself with his smug "That's a $500 ticket" comment and his pushy attitude.

Have them? We invented them. I think that law passed back in '83, but we still waste money on seatbelt campaigns.

I seem to recall LA had some briefly in the early 90's.

Awesome. Is there a Video COTD award?

Maybe they were in mind of the 5 crashes in one weekend story that involved a lot of poor braking, and thought that would make a mildly clever pun. I lawled at it.

Journos like sensational headlines.
