I like your balance commentary, but we need passionate guys like the Dominican to lead the way.

I'm with you Dominican. Past midlife, but never owned anything but manual transmissions. Never had an SUV, and never had a minivan. Wife refuses to drive auto as well - says it contributes to complacency, numbness, and accidents.

He needs better rubbers.

Most Alfas. hahaha

Any V8 FR car will do. American and Australian ones come to mind.

GTI is an excellent car, but I think RWD cars are much more 'hoonable'.

Looks like "torque steer" of the RWD kind. 600+hp can do that.

Check him out. He's nonchalantly looking the other way as if he can simply disown his FAIL.

Edvard Munch would approve. Nice catch!

zziro is correct. Car control and traffic negotiation are entirely different skill sets.

Since I don't have a promote button (or can't find where it is) - I promote DrunkenMessiah's comment.

I mostly agree with Andreesen. There is no reason for people to self-drive for utility in this day and age. Economics aside, the cons far outweigh the pros. Like the horse, driving should eventually evolve into a pleasure activity. I love driving, but there's nothing fun or liberating about negotiating traffic jams…

The headlamp opening action on a C4 Corvette is pretty cool, even though the lamp itself doesn't look too hot.

Mk1 GTI is reasonably close I think.

RX-8

A true gearhead would not have an iPhone.

That was awesome! I wish more cops would do that to clueless loafers in the passing lane.

I'm puzzled by, "the length between the hitch and your rear wheels is too long relative to the wheelbase of the vehicle", because big tractor trailers are generally set up this way, no?
