Fiesta. Up and and down. All day. It's got more power, more torque, more doors, more space and if you get it in white and it looks like an imperial stormtrooper's helmet (although not as much as the Focus). You won't miss the money if you buy the Fiesta but you'll kick yourself for being so tight-fisted if you buy an…

Bit of a subdued colour for a fast Dodge. No Purples or Oranges or Yellows?

I had an '89 Sunbird once as a loaner from a mechanic who was fixing a screw-up on my car from a previous job he done on it. In petty retaliation I beat the living bejesus out of that Sunbird and it just took it like a champ. Drove it through a field on full attack mode, jumped it off curbs, handbrake turns, whatever…

That DC-10 is awesome. I love old trijets. Maybe it's because the first flight I remember taking was on a Tristar. Or maybe it's the ridiculous amount of noise they make.

What a terrific car this would be if you didn't have to worry about speed limits. With that exhaust I wouldn't be able to keep my foot out of it and in Soviet Ontario I'd have it impounded within the first week.

Paul Rudd knows where it's at:

Hypermiling is for pussies! Free all the torques!!

I believe Ron Fellows uses them at his racing school to ferry people about. But you're right in what you say: with a needy, temperamental weekend toy you want something interesting with appliance-like reliability to drive to and from the parts shop.

I'd be impressed that a woman of means would buy a 360 and not a Boxster or an SLK...but I would still be asking about the car. And the Acura guy's flirting was a bit ham-fisted. She said she wasn't doing anything this weekend dude! Go for it!! Worst case scenario you might get a shot at driving the car!

I was a non-believer until I took one for a spin. What impresses is the instantaneous torque. Put it in Sport mode and leave the shifter in L to beef up the regenerative braking and it's fun to blast from stoplight to stoplight. If I had an outlet in my parking spot I'd consider a three-year lease. I find the…

I'll let Steve Miller Band handle this:

2nd Gear. If the government is serious about improving road safety don't place the blame on manufacturers, place it where it belongs - on drivers. Make obtaining a license so difficult that you can be reasonably certain only skilled people are behind the wheel. That includes basic car maintenance, what to do in if…

Parking enforcement must be the most thankless job any human being can undertake. Unless there's someone out there whose sole job is to euthanize puppies. You have to wonder about the mindset of someone who can get up every morning with the knowledge that what they do for a living makes everyone's day a little worse.

I went through this exercise with a very pro-GM guy but without the low price ceiling. We capped it at $40,000. My GM picks were:

You know how in Japan where infrastructure is damaged due to some catastrophe and they have it all back up and running in days? Yeah, That won't happen here in Ontario. He probably had bare minimum insurance which won't cover the cost of the repair so it's on the taxpayer to foot the bill and they won't be quick about…

Needs moar Spitfire!

Lakeshore and Leslie. Used to be the Price Chopper.

You won't see Olivia Chow going for two doubles and a single!

That hill he's coming down around the 20:00 mark is always CRAWLING with speed cops. I never speed down there.

And I shop at that FreshCo.
