I am as well, and in reality I would probably buy a bunch of Camaros and Vettes (at least one from every generation for each).

Not all chicks dig dudes with money.

Oh, you have a McLaren 650S Spider? How nice for you, I suppose. But for those of us who aren't on food stamps, meet the McLaren Special Operations 650S Spider. You can't even handle how bespoke it is.

I always thought it was pronounced like Brahm

Pretty sure this was supposed to be an add shaming teachers for taking their class outside to dance around trees. Shame on you indeed.

That's funny. The only problem I had was the ignition switch also. Couldn't turn the ignition off though. Had to stall the car out and disconnect the battery until I could get it to the dealership.

I've got 130,000 miles on mine and still driving 120 miles a day in it. I'll get it fixed pretty soon, but I'm not stressing about it until then.

Maybe I'm just one of those not smart people. I actually like my cobalt. I've been impressed how much I liked it over the honda accord we had before it. I have had one issue with the car and mine was actually the opposite problem they are having in the news. My ignition wouldn't turn off.

As an engineer, I would say that most of that is incorrect. Particularly the "absurd amount of control" and "override most any managerial decision". And not dealing with customers. Although most automotive engineers don't deal directly with customers.

Not exactly, the key simply turns from run to "accessory". The key doesn't fall out.

So they have made all of these variants. Which ones are the ultimate editions... say one road car and one track car?

I needed a cheap car for my 60 mi (each way) daily commute for a new job and wanted to get a XFE, but couldn't find one anywhere. Had to get one transferred just to get a manual. I actually really enjoy the car though. It's not fancy, but it gets good mileage and can easily carry my wife and kid. I do need to get…

Yep, this is a really cool story, but probably overstates the impressiveness of the accomplishment. Cool way to go about proving someone wrong who has insulted your technology, but 40 years later, CVCC is a neat historical oddity and the cat converter is standard equipment.

This cat just took away one of my arguments for dogs in the cats vs dogs debate.

UK is definately better than US. Those are the only two that I have experience with. I still record every episode of the US version, but I usually end up fast forwarding through most of it.

I grew up in Louisiana and this is the first that I knew that the n-word was originally part of that. Crazy.

Representing all generations

Minor one I do pretty regularly is turn on my turn signal when going around a sharp bend in the road, or turning into my driveway. I do hate it when I cut someone off or otherwise screw up and know that I am in the wrong.

Great Article. I have drag raced most of the cars I've owned. Had a few missed gears, not run as fast as I probably should, but so far haven't had any major mishaps. I've never driven anything this fast though. It's more difficult than most people realize and also more fun.

A long time ago, but somehow in the future...
