Words cannot describe how much I hate @graverobber's writing style. I've heard Ritalin does wonders.

To keep people from using their phones while driving. Also, it makes it harder to drive dangerously on the highway. I see people darting in and out of traffic, slamming the brake, and gunning it when there's an opening. Having to clutch in/out makes one wonder if it's worth it.

Actually, in California, it's quite a bit lower than that. $47.1k [http://www.lao.ca.gov/laoapp/laomenus/sections/crim_justice/6_cj_inmatecost.aspx?catid=3], which is in the ballpark of what I was hearing during the last gubernatorial election cycle. It's likely lower in other parts of the country. Which isn't to…

I was giving the Mustang a pass. The Mustang and the Challenger are both found in airport rental car fleets and that's where I had the misfortune of getting to know how a yacht (the Challenger) does in narrow traffic-heavy NYC. I've driven almost every Mustang (non GT) platform since the early 90s at one point or…

Samesees.

Try taking a turn, at speed, in any of the 3. My prediction is 1 of the 3 can do it without risking life and limb.

First mistake was driving too fast. Next mistake was riding the brakes through the slide. Last mistake was the amount of turn in. That driver should've taken a Car Control Clinic. They're usually 50 dollars (at least in northern california). Cheap insurance.

I don't believe people who live in the sparsely populated area between large cities was the target audience for the question. The rest of us in population centers spend hours in the car. Driving free of traffic is not an option.

E90 335i 6MT. 300hp, RWD, and handles like go-cart. Gas mileage is around 24 and mostly because I like to hear the exhaust restrictor valve open to full mental. If I grannie the go pedal and keep it in 5th or 6th, I can get around 30. Not the best, but, yeah, gas mileage wasn't a priority to me. I ride a train to…

I think the E38 was probably the pinnacle of BMW design. Then Bangle bang(le')ed the pooch. Criminal. He should be forced to drive an Aztec for the rest of his days.

Prius is a great car. But it's still a bad solution. I ride a train and bike the 2 miles from the station to and from work. If CO2 is your metric for success, mass trans wins by miles. And I have a 335i (6MT) for the weekends where I clock a little under 9k miles a year. Mass trans + pick your awesome fun-mobile…

Drifting and he STILL manages to rev-match his downshifts. Well done sir. I have trouble doing that gracefully on a good day let alone with the back hanging out.
