@Chaparral: Actually, AWD helps in every aspect, not just getting going. A smart winter driver knows not to use the brakes unless absolutely necessary, and even then, only in combination with engine braking. It also helps significantly in cornering because you have four powered wheels to potentially pull you out of a…

@pauljones: Clearly, you've never heard of the Alberta Tar Sands. This province is not exactly renowned for being environmentally friendly.

@pauljones: Especially if they are LeMons Drag-Racin' Struttin' Playa Prius owners.

@Tyson: A hybrid gasoline and tiresmoke drivetrain would also be acceptable.

EVERYTHING destroys the environment somehow. Cars contribute, what, 7% of the emissions that destroy the ozone? Something like 85% of the emissions are coming from the various plants, such as the huge coal-fired power plants in China, that are used to manufacture the products we want, or provide the services we demand…

@beercheck: Hm. Not a bad analogy... and not a bad image either, depending on the circumstances...

@engineerd has lost the funny: Since when did any Ferrari afficionado ever need any more smug? Hell, they don't even need to OWN a Ferrari to send the smugometer off the charts.

@steelwheels: an eeror in every psot!: That almost made me choke on my lunch. Hearty-clicky for that one.

@engineerd has lost the funny: Did you see the new KFC contest where you can win either a Falcon Super Pursuit or a HSV Maloo? I didn't see anywhere in the rules where it's restricted to residents of Australia...

SACRILEGE!

@Chaparral: And, hey, a Grand Caravan has even more cargo space!

@engineerd has lost the funny: Let's not forget the XXXX Angels, especially now that they appear to have new uniforms to dance in.

@beercheck: See, I am perfectly okay with people thinking the R8 is unattractive. I acknowledge that there are different tastes out there, and not everything is going to suit everyone.

@leavethegun-takethecannoli: I think it would be a very bad idea if I ended up with it on a day where I hadn't had enough coffee. We'd need Jim Ross from the World Wrasslin Federation to follow me around yelling, "OH, THE CARNAGE! OH, THE HUMANITY!"

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I still remember the manual for my Buick Century. I tried to replace a burned-out taillight bulb — one of, what, 40 they put across the back of that fucking car?? — and turned to the manual for instructions.

@Hello Mister Walrus: THANK YOU. Fucking heart-click for you. The sheer stupidity caused my brain to short-circuit for a minute there, you managed to flip the breaker for me.

Ahh, thanks Ben, that's what I needed after getting a little pissed off.

@engineerd has lost the funny: I am a little cranky. I came into this article and drooled a little over the Bruce. And then got promptly kicked straight into a bad mood by our resident troll. No, it's not a fucking Corvette, thanks for pointing that out. Why is an R8 harder to work on? Because it's fucking…

@nataku83: Vastly superior... if you don't care about things like, say, comfort.

@zeeboid: Why are they making the R8 again?
