I fully agree. I test drove the manual version and it was surprisingly fun. My girlfriend really wants one, that's the only detail keeping me from loving it.

Mariner Blue, and yes it really does look great on the car.

I had forgotten about this game. I still have it somewhere. I remember loving the customization but absolutely hated actually playing it.

I feel the same, I really want to like their stuff but most people I personally know have had some serious problems. My uncle's 2011 Ram 1500 had the two piece prop shaft fly apart at 8,000 miles and another family member went through a warranty transmission on his Ram and various trim quality issues on his new

Yeah, each one can be a little different. I agree that it looks unusual but sometimes in videos you'll see each light is pulsed slightly out of sync leaving one appearing off for a long time.

I'm guessing it is because they are modulated like most LEDs on cars now. We were actually just discussing that topic yesterday about the McLaren P1.

I loved that poster. Somehow he made stepping out of a Ford Taurus not an embarrassment.

You are correct, I was referring to removing the door mounted armrest. The padding on the center tunnel can be removed allowing a little more room.

Yeah, I'm guessing the passenger seat pad was heavily altered and armrest removed.

Definitely the DeLorean. My head nearly touches the roof panel as it is and the center tunnel and armrest hold fairly close to your body. You aren't doing anything with the door closed, at least.

That's what I was going to say. If this was to be a window those two extra panels of glass would have weighed significantly more than pieces of carbon fiber.

No problem, I agree that money can't buy taste. I can appreciate tasteful luxury goods but I cringe every time I see something covered in jewels.

Perhaps you misunderstood my "I'm sure they make the car look classy" line and took it too seriously.

Where's the hostility coming from? The opinion of people who buy luxury goods seems to be that jewels added to things make them look classy. It's the reason Rolex offers so many hideously tacky diamond encrusted models. Hence this monstrosity.

I always thought the term "headlamp" referred to the whole housing, much like we refer to a household lamp and not just the bulb inside.

Yeah, I recently spent a few grand getting some age related stuff sorted out and now it wants more!

I don't care if just about any modern car handles better or is faster, I can't tell you how often I'm laughing out loud while I drive my ridiculous childhood dream car.

I'm guessing cost and difficulty of stamping into more intricate shapes was an issue. From what I've read, the reason they stopped stamping grooved hood lines like the early cars had was that they were breaking too many in the process.

I'm impressed by how appropriate this image appears for the comment of the day. Well done, as always.

Yeah, I had to look up the company that did this after I saw the Acura. Looking through their gallery it seems many models featured are just photoshops. It seems as though they offer just about anything that nobody has wanted yet.
