2008 Tornado Red MkV here, and I approve this comment.

I get the sense that Congresspeople (especially the men) think the whole "racist Strom Thurmond was probably a horrible human being" is just this cute thing that outside-the-Beltwayers care about.

"There is no need to be civil when the other side of the aisle has abhorrent views. This idea of "bipartisanship" and "civility" has only arisen as memes with the advent of temporary Democratic majorities in the houses of Congress."

BMW drivers who view using their turn signals as an admission of weakness are the subclass of BMW drivers that comprises the douchebags.

Bright red mustangs with the V6 (convertible optional) are the hairdresser's special. It's just the way it is.

Thank you for this reminiscence. Got my driving skills in Jersey, and I maintain they are the most ALERT pool of drivers in the entire Northeast. Sure, they're obnoxious assholes playing brinkmanship with their morning commutes, but I am far, far more wary of the "LULZ I'M TOTES ALONE ON THE HIGHWAY TEEHEE" Capital…

You, there. If the story up there is actually true, you win an Internet.

Sure, because your lulz makes tons of sense.

I wish all parts of your comment were accurate, because I'm also biased, but the speed3 (my experience is with the previous, non-Prozac speed3) handles better than the GTI - mine, at least, which is an MkV. Also, the red accents inside the Speed3 are tastefully done and hold up well over time, although the flat-bottom…

I always thought Richard Dreyfuss (like in the end scenes of Mr Holland's Opus) would be a better fit as John McCain.

Word on the Intrepid.

This video makes me so proud.

I'm partial.

Looks like a close-up of a German Shepherd's nostrils. I like it anyway.

Toyota Yaris S and Corolla S. And didn't there used to be a Matrix S? Or Matrix RSTUVWXYZ? All from the same gene pool of utter suck.

Totally second the Corolla S vote.

that picture is full of win.

2003 Dodge Intrepid SE. It swallows whole apartments full of stuff, will go offroad when it has to, steel wheels for fearless trekking, will take me up my mountains and down them again, all in hands-down the most faithful, hardest-to-kill car I have ever met up close. The trunk is so big I have to climb inside (all…

Not a bad choice. My 3-door will swallow just about any cargo and I can shove friends and carseats and cats and dogs in it.

Bought my GTI at 22. It's the perfect car for me. Three-door, which I plan to keep even if I have to stick a carseat in the back someday in the distant future. All I know is, my kid better like low-end torque as much as I do.
