Instead of keeping Montezemolo's annual production limit at 7,000 cars to retain Ferrari's exclusivity, Marchionne is planning to turn the prancing horse into a luxury brand that can compete more with Volkswagen AG's expanding Lamborghini in terms of sales grwoth and is more involved with Fiat Chrysler's products and…

You had me at "A Flock of Seagulls" and lost me at
"Not the band."

So close!

Now, before I go any further, I should admit that some of our gas mileage issues may have related to my driving style. Since our stuff was so tightly packed in back, and thus there wasn't room for anything to roll around, I figured there was little chance something would break. So I did what any red-blooded American…

NASCAR has really become a joke.

Yuo said it yourself, it does add value. Period.

Now of you want to bring PROFIT into it, that's an entirely different matter. You'll almost never see a profit, modifying a car.

Actualloy, "mods" can add value. Take a $500 car, throw in $10k worth of roll cage, engine, drivetrain, suspension, wheels, and race tires and you've got a $5000 race car.

Ok, so I did already say that you don't need an excessive amount of leather, but leather is quite nice on the seats. Comfy, luxurious, and easy to clean.

Radio sucks and nobody buys CDs anymore so some sort of iPod integration is an absolute must have.

Hard to believe that in 2014 Cruise Control isn't standard on all cars, but Deadspin's Timothy Burke found that out the hard way when he had the misfortune of renting a Dodge Dart without it. A must have for long highway journeys.

First-generation Viper. Lots of power, handled like a truck.

You too?!?

Getting the cost down to $500/lb means a lot more folks will be able to get stuff into orbit. Which means a lot more crap in low Earth orbit. As far as I know, this is for the most part unregulated, unlike geosync orbits. What's going to happen with all this extra stuff in orbit?

Easy - COTA.

The car's achille's heel is that 12.5:1 engine. Not only does the high compression make it difficult to build a high-boost engine that won't blow up, but the thing's HEAVY too.

A friend of a friend blew his motor up three times, trying to run forced induction. After the thrid boom he came to his senses and is having…

What's the big deal? It's not even 10% cheaper. Now if it were under $3, it might get my atttention.

Oddly enough, they still don't look any better.

FR-S/BRZ: So much potential in the chassis, so much fail in the engine. "Let's build a sports car, and then install a under-powered flat four with compression so high no one will be able to safely turbocharge it. THEN let's give it rock-hard, skinny tires so everyone will be able to slide it around and think it's…

Personally, my money's on NASCAR, unless it's raining.

Finally!

I had a (very minor,) hand in this well before the AirTrans acquisition. I worked as a software developer for them years ago and with the AirTrans merger we knew we'd have to start supporting international flights, which necessitated certain changes including switching from a 3-letter airport code to a…

Any wind-powered car. Lots of miles, zero gallons of fuel.

I especially like this one:
