I got pulled over near OKC once for sounding and looking fast in my cutlass. I blame the stupidly-loud stereo, the rubber I left at the stop-light, and good ol' American V8 noisemaking. I was doing 30 in a 35 when I was pulled over. The cop told me to slow down, and let me go on my way.

@loquaciousmusic: That second comma is optional; I prefer it - but as a fellow grammarian, I assume you know it is my duty: to point that out.

@BullittFan_Fords4Life: I got halfway through his comment before I thought, "oh geez. another floor mat joke."

@MΩJΩ: I wouldn't buy a car based on track time. Once you get into supercar territory, you're gonna beat the guy next to you at the red light, and isn't that all we want in life?

@trlstanc: Can I have your problems? They seem nice.

@Tedders: ae71-4agze just isn't as impressive.

I think my favorite thing about Leno's collection isn't that it's so huge, but that it's so well-chosen. The man has incredible taste in automobiles.

@snapoversteer 'bout to get told: Neither the Cayenne or X5 are wagons. 3 years ago, your buddy could have had one of these, and the world would be a better place.

The plot was a little lacking, but I felt like the characters were solid, and the ending twist honestly caught me by surprise.

My little brothers and I had been granted a road trip by my parents and grandparents. We flew to Seattle, where we picked up my grandparents' Grand Cherokee. We drove east, through the day and night, did a 12-hour tour of Yellowstone, saw Mt. Rushmore, saw all of the big sky in Montana. We drove through Indy, and…

@Novaload: Probably their hookup was an FM transmitter rather than hardwired. I did about 150 miles of I-40 through OK and TX listening to someone's Beastie Boys collection.

I actually really like those door pulls. I would love those on my miata - more leg room, AND less weight? win-win. Also, that top is incredibly sexy in action.

@Ash78, tryptophanatic:

@stoke: that's awesome. The thing I miss most about that olds was the tach when I floored it. There was a switch on the back of the gauge cluster for the v6 or the v8 engine, and it (along with everything else on that cluster) was prone to failure. Mine had failed, and as a result, the tach was always operating at…

@stoke: @Turbineguy - now with reheat!!: New engines make it almost impossible. I could probably hit 110 in my 110hp miata, but you'd never hit 170 in a new one. I could definitely hit 90 in an 80's accord, but I don't think I could do 190 in my wife's. It gets worse with larger cars. Small trucks even get more…

@bzr: if it was a Jeep 4.0, it would still be running because you don't change the oil in that engine, you keep it topped up.

I was lucky enough not to have any "oh shit" moments in any of my accidents, as they always caught me by surprise. Well, except when my brother and I got T-boned, both of us yelled "shiiiiiiiiiiiiii" until the car stopped moving. The biggest "oh shit" moment I had was cruising at 55 on one of the many gravel roads…

@powermatic: Actually, he's never spent any of the money he's earned from his television shows: [www.parade.com] #camaroz28

@danio3834: I find that the key in telling the difference between the workhorse-american-that-also-hauls-people and the bloated POS the suburban has become is in whether the owner refers to it as a "truck". #qotd

@Sam: I've never seen a volkswagen older than a few months that didn't have at least one quirky electrical problem. Mechanically, german. Electrically, they feel a little british.
