I totaled my Dad’s 2010 Impala when a section of tree just too short to miss the bumper came off a trailer (no gate or even a strap), the car in front of me saw it, but slowed when they swerved, leaving me no room to dodge.  Fortunately, a firefighter from Texas chased down the driver and he was honest enough to come…

Don’t know about the quad4, but my Dad took a Series II 3800 to 375k in a ‘99 LeSabre without any major problems.

I always thought it was a crime that the Fiero didn’t last long enough to get the 3800 V6.  ~200 hp with bulletproof reliability in a light package would have been a killer combo.  

I believe its a joke...

Honestly? If it looks as good as the XLR did, I say go for it.  Something about that car has always spoken to me ever since I saw one in the flesh.  I know nobody bought one, but they looked awesome.  

I miss Kobayashi-san in F1.

There was one near me with 240 miles (not a typo) for 8k off sticker.  Somebody else got it first.

How much is one of these things new?  I could use a dependable vehicle for the next 30 years...

I don’t follow drag racing but I have nothing but respect for those with the guts to drive like no one else on the planet. So sorry to hear that we lost one of the good ones.

I love articles like this

If a celebrity wants to endorse someone or something, that’s fine.  Just don’t do it during the race.  Or anywhere I can hear about it.  

I don’t think the resource curse has anything to do with resources, it has to do with how cultures develop and respond to technology. But that’s another discussion entirely.

I think I know somebody that has one of these, in the US.  And, as far as I know, legally.  I knew it was a Fiat, I just thought it was older, from when Fiat still sold cars in the US.  I know they left in the 80's and I thought that this was maybe their last gasp kind of thing as it has a vague 80's vibe.  Now I’ve…

Absolute best way to buy a car long distance - hire a local lawyer. Seriously.

So the perfect car for a teen is large, heavy, has TC/ESC, is safe, and has no horsepower.  So a base model Flex?

This works extremely well riiiiight up until the sixth kid comes home from the hospital.  

I don’t have any pics handy, but we had an ‘85 Suburban that came with a massive aftermarket rear bumper that only had an issue when it was backed into a tree.  No, it wasn’t me.
