@layabout returns: Yeah, I have to agree with you there. It's an existing car with a transplanted electric pipe-dream. I mean, powerplant. It's good for nothing but getting some more press from outfits like Jalopnik.

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Then why would you ever put in another quarter?

@FP - missing Pete and the SHOwagon: That's rather a frightening thought, isn't it? It really, truly, genuinely is Malaise II. And based on how well Nibbles II is working out, I think we know how well this is going to go.

@Jo Schmo... IS BACK!: Well if they'd show her face, I might have a better chance of recognizing her.

@Formerlythegreatestdriver: You, sir, make me tremendously proud of you. In fact... I'm off to pour another drink.

@POLAЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯ: I've done my best to carry on your legacy, m'lord.

@Syrax: You put out; aSoundofSleep doesn't.

@Pete Gaines wuz here: YOW-ZA! She's YUMMY.

@skaycog 0.0: I have no idea what that is, but that has never stopped me from drinking any substance before. Thanks!

@Alphamazing: I think it's just that you don't love me that much.

@DEAЯTHÁIЯ: Also... There's an American version of this song? The only version I've heard, starts with,

Yay me!

@aSoundofSleep:You know, if Syrax doesn't beat me to it, I think I'm just going to follow you around and click the "promote" button under your name until someone gives you a damn star. Thanks man. :)

@tonyola: I'd also have to nominate the Vigor. The owner of the audio-video shop in my hometown had one, and while he was a bit of a skeezy fellow, the car was beautiful. Black on black, chrome wheels, slightly lowered, a great "VIP" treatment to it. Wish I could find a photo of the Vigor that wasn't awful. This'll…

@FP - missing Pete and the SHOwagon: I hate to bring back the "lipstick on a pig" analogy, but it's only a marginal improvement at best. I'm just... not sure there's anything you can DO to a Venza to make it look good.

@LionZoo: Actually I generally equate Subaru drivers and Audi drivers, and I'm not particularly fond of either of them. For all the harping I do, I do genuinely like Subaru's technical prowess. I just get irritated that they feel, when I drive them, like they're made of cardboard and bits of tin... and wrapped in a…

@SoK: Oh sweetheart, don't start getting all "you don't know cars" on ME, I've been building and racing them on tracks, strips and streets for years now, thank you very much. You've taken this from good-natured banter to assholishness, and that's the end of it for me. Do me a favour, fuck right off, don't bother me…

@LionZoo: See, I know what you're talking about. I've had multiple FWD cars, and have experienced that horrendous understeer.

@engineerd misses Uncle Pete: Dear Foot In Mouth,

@Ash78: NOT AL NAVARRO! OH, THE HUMANITY!
