@cgarison: Ain't never gonna happen. The big V8's don't fare well in crash tests in the Wrangler platform it seems. Which is a shame because the 3.8 V6 just ain't enough umph for that bigger Unlimited.

The JK Unlimted too. Only because I am having a terrible internal struggle with my practical mom side and my carefree non-parent side. The mom side knows I need a car that will offer comfortable road trips. And the non-responsibility laden side wants me to trade in my Grand and the TJ for a Steel Blue Rubi. And the…

@JSmith53: Almost. I think it's that mated with the Gremlin. The Vehicross was far more wonderful.

@TampaRon: Was gonna say the same thing. And it's a shame too. This isn't that terrible looking. I'm not big in the crossovers, but I have to say this is much more appealing in appearance than the Edge. Though that backside really is reminiscent of the previous Subaru Tribeca abomination. Overall much more interesting…

Holy shite! There was a Falcon wagon? No choice then. Falcon all the way. Because once this project is done you will have such a stunning prize of a ride. Do not hesitate good sir!

Just my way to help shore up the economy by spending. Keeping the dollars flowing.

@Mad_Science:It was 95 here in fabulous San Jose yesterday. You ain't missing much. This heat spike doesn't seem all that bad in comparison to this time last year when we had 100+ for a couple of weeks. I wonder where Arnie was during last summer's heat, when my block was out of power off and on for three days.

I think this is an unanswerable question for the ages. And I have to say that us here in America do not hold a monopoly on bad taste. Top Gear has a lovely international repository of highly questionable taste that proves this [www.topgear.com]

@noremac: Totally second that thought. You'd think with all the hype and whizbangery involved with this new system that Ford would have attempted to bring their electronics design into the 19th century at least.

Yes. Pure and simple. Once you get up into these numbers, it's really a tragic waste better used in hauling cargo. Otherwise it's just a penis modifier because even at track day most drivers just can't handle that kind of power.

X3 on the Aspire. And renaming from Festiva was a real marketing coup, no? Because when you drive this car you feel like you're at a party?? The best part though is that it was derived from the Asian marketed Kia Pride.

Does this topic make anyone else wanna go racing in go karts too? Now that would be a good time.

It all depends on the location. Personally slow(er) cars going fast can be so much more fun. On a really tight messy road, even doing 35 can be mad fun in a small car that can't get much higher than 55. Like my Jeep.

@Atelier: They look even better in full bling. [www.youtube.com]

I think this hit Valleywag sometime ago as they have a stalking thing for Jobs. The consensus there was that this isn't Jobs' sled for the same reasons here. He's got a little silver C series that he never puts the plates on.

Went to the Bahamas myself, so we didn't drive at all. But if I had to do it again, I'd say let's go to Germany and see what expensive metal we could rent to try out on the 'ring.

My Tivo has been sent to it's room without dessert as the wishlist I set for Top Gear failed to find any of the upcoming showings. Bad Tivo, BAD!

And it's a racing slick no less. Mom must love scrubbing the black smudges off the walls in his room.

@JohnnyWagon: That won't take long.

Before baby, I lavished waxings and wheel polishes on my Wrangler almost every two weeks. After baby, just about never. But I do take the baby hauler to the car wash every month to get the bird crap and bug dew off of it. But the guys there never do it justice so once every three or four months I'll try giving it a…
