It runs out into the road and the rider hits it directly. The rider was ok, but it shows why you need to ride and drive defensively. And probably exercise caution on backroads when visiting our neighbor to the north.

The very old money that I know/have known typically drives stock looking cars because ostentatious display of wealth is distasteful. That being said, I'm not old money and wouldn't mind a murdered out M5, but would prefer a stock or almost stock one so as to not draw the extra attention from the cops.

Who reveres Kanye? He's trash, rich trash, which is why he bought these in stead of just getting an armored BMW, Mercedes, or Volvo like a wealthy person that has any class would. Ostentatious consumption is for the lowest sort of person.

Noted for when I seriously look at picking one up!

So, instead of practicing law when I get out of school (and the practice of law is something I enjoy. I know because I work in a law office and have for almost two years, and have about half my family in law.) I should become a mechanic because I also enjoy working on a car. How old are you? You can't honestly be…

A) If I decide to prioritize my time in the way I choose and dedicate a portion of it to one thing rather than another, I'm going to do what I want to do during that period of time. You look like you're assuming that I would enjoy doing all those other things rather than working on a car. Your assumption has no…

Yeah, the Marauder, the M45, the S2000... I've wanted a Marauder for a while, though in my town someone would steal it and put it on 24"s. The M45 is a handsome car and I've wanted once since I first saw them, though I wish the interior wasn't so dated, I hate 90's-early 00's interior design and execution. The same…

Will you knock it off? You take the cars I'm considering, write an article about them, and refocus attention on them which helps to drive up the used car prices.

I didn't say "pay someone else to do an engine swap for me" I said "drop an LSX engine in there". The M3 motor needs valve adjustments every 12,000-15,000 miles and those adjustments can be done in 3 or so hours in your garage. A mustang may have a dodgy transmission depending on what year you get, but as far as…

My understanding is that it has affected a number of engines across the VQ, range, the most common being in the Infiniti version of the 350/370, I forget what numbers they're tacking on these days.

At the price they are asking, I'd rather have a used M3, a mustang with the track pack, v6 or GT, I'd buy any number of cars with a blown engine: RX-8, BMW540, LS430, SC300 SC400, etc and drop an LSX engine in there and come out ahead of what you'd spend on something like a Z.

Should I have included "and will fall apart in five years" in order to exclude cars I would not buy for other reasons? I wasn't aware that my only other options were Hyundai.

There ares till engines in cars at that price point that put down more power, get better gas mileage, and don't have as much of a chance of having to be lemon-lawed or have a tremendous amount of warranty work done on them. I'll take one of those, thanks.

5.) World's Worst DSM

I can live with a controllable fault, but I'm sure as hell not going to pay $30,000+ for one.

And it's a shame because the outside of the cars are generally well done.

Because who doesn't want a VQ series engine that may mysteriously start to eat increasing quantities of oil and necessitate one or more new engines to fix the problem?!?

Because crappy mpg in a city with a lot of hills and small mountains can be remedied by a hybrid. I've got a '08 4 cylinder accord and get around 15-16 mpg driving downtown, where I live and work.

It's just so damn ugly. It's like an IROC Z had sex with a German DJ in the 80's and this is the bastard child.
