@87CapriceEstateReplacedBy95Voy...: I guess if you really feel like you're out of control without cranks, then I can understand that. And I have no real idea what the electrics weigh, maybe 20 pounds on a coupe? But I have to disagree with the "decent sized wad of cash". I hear that a lot, but I've never had a power…

@oddfish: silver lining - no more panel gap for your hood!

@grubish1: I HATE auto-dimming mirrors.

@Paul Y. thought he was a man, but he was a muffin: "not necessarily more accurate?"

@tonyola: Exactly what I voted. Even though I'm up in the North South now, I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma, and I don't think I could ever justify a car with no A/C (except my miata, but that neither needs nor wants to drive an A/C compressor).

@Optixtruf: Yeah, but I think it's a bit of an homage. Look at that nose, and then look at a Solstice. Squint a little, take another swig of brefass scotch, and look back at the Ferrari.

@OA 5599: Mostly, I appreciate not having to remember to stop and pick up my knife on the way out of the library.

@OA 5599: might I recommend one of these? I hear from a friend that they will almost certainly make it through security.

I really hope this works out. I need something to supplement my Wheeler Dealers and Top Gear collection.

@Paul Y. thought he was a man, but he was a muffin: It's a $2200 car, you're talking about $200 in repair work. That's a hefty chunk of the selling price, especially after you wrangle him down to $1900. I've seen more egregious things.

"direct-injection and turbocharging coupled with a six-speed manual transmission."

@GaryMyMan: It is an "off-road" vehicle that does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. If I want a peoplemover that moves, I'll get a V70R. If I want an offroad vehicle that moves, I'll get a Raptor.

That car is stupid. It's not even garish enough to live up to its driver. It's not good-looking, it's not high-performing, it's just...boring. Ugh.

@Optixtruf: The original was better. The new one is space-thriller-y, the original is a philosophical film that just happens to be set in space.

@KAdams1476: Dean Karnazes is known for eating some ridiculous stuff on a run. During a 400-miler, he ordered a large pizza and a cheesecake, and ate them while running.

This bothers me on just about every "wagon" or "shooting brake" out there today. Until they get rid of this nonsense, it's just a sedan with a hatchback.

@BullittFan_Førds4Life: Reløaded: It's what came before the iDrive.

Not affiliated, but for those of you who don't know it, Hank's Helper is a fantastic way to search all the craigslists within 500 miles of you for that special car you're looking for.

@mechimike: The ability to run while still dying is a key mark of the great beater. I love to recommend the Ram Van - I'm convinced that those things run on hate and despair, and there is never a shortage of that when you're driving one of those monsters.

@Chgu: I'm OK with all my cars getting 30mpg. I mean, 60 would be nice, but 30 is not painful to the wallet. I just wish they had bigger tanks. It's embarrassing how fast 11.9 gallons disappears in the miata.
