There's no way this lives up to the hype, right? I mean, I want it to, it sounds great, I'm certainly interested in it but I am just scared to death it will some how suck.

A former Times-Picayune writer has Benson's letter to his daughter and grandchildren. It's short, sweet and to the point. Almost cold.

I can't believe I was the first to catch that...

Of course, I already know my choice of vehicle will probably disappoint some readers. You guys suggested literally everything: Citroens, and Renaults, and Nobles, and Rally Fighters, and even the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. For those of you who are a bit disheartened by the GT-R, I understand where you're coming…

I never thought I'd be so amped to see the Ford booth at the Chicago Auto Show...

An entire televised show where awards are given to things that don't even know what's going on? This is why the terrorists hate us, right?

Best attempt to cover up the lingering awkwardness by Bilas: "Uh...uh...Cake's a great band, BTW, we can all agree on that, right? They didn't evolve their sound, they just created something that was unique...wait, DAMN!"

Callaway Corvette Sledgehammer. Sure it's a one-off, but it was the fastest car in the world for a good period of time and faster than a McLaren w/ a top speed of 254mph.

I remember it, I don't know much about it. I know there was one seen on public roads on ExoticSpotter.com or one of those back back back in the day.

Yes and can we also concede that part of the reason for their growth is modern safety standards?

Nissan/Datsun Z?

Lorde is getting crazy between tour dates...

Seriously, Scion, sit down. Not the chair — the floor is fine. Aside from the FR-S, what do you have that's interesting anymore? I — and many others — loved the 1st gen xB, a car that took some real risks, but then everything that was great about that car was lost with the bloated, cramped 2007 redesign.

"The cup holder appears on no features list. It sits quietly at your side, holding whatever it is you need held. It doesn't have fancy technology (usually). It doesn't need it. It's been doing its job, and doing it well, since the beginning of time. It helps keep you warm in the cold, cool in the heat, awake on a long…

All right I'm going to come out and say it:

I don't know what bojangling means.

I'll challenge the "easily restored to operational" rule with this one for sure, but a Cobra replica on a C4 chassis and engine. A quick shopping spree at FactoryFive.com and you have yourself a nice little kit car. Maybe this doesn't fit the rules, but still, a unique Corvette-powered Cobra? Those C4 engines make…

This evolution of the American automobile from Pop Chart Lab:

The total order came to 14,882,000 Euros for 29 luxury cars, or roughly $18 million. That includes a pair of the big Maybachs, B-series Mercedes, Vianos, three CL 63 AMGs, an M3 and an M5 sedan, an M6 coupe, a couple of busses, and, oh, why not a pair of Rolls Royce Ghosts in different colors.

Over here it was called the Alliance. The name was no better, if anything it set back Franco-American car relations and led to the French leaving the U.S. car market for good.

I like how mid-90s China footage looks like 1986 everywhere else in the world footage.
