Thing is, though, Americans won't buy frugal engines. They will buy equally underpowered hybrids and plug-ins, though, because they're trendy and hip, the way trucks and SUVs were ten years ago.

3rd gear—I hate to admit it, but I really dig the new Explorer. Saw one up close and they look really, really nice. The owner was a 45-ish guy who knew his shit about cars and he told me the thing is fantastic, was his third Explorer, and was by far the best SUV he'd ever driven.

It'd be rather amusing if Ray's lap is slower.

Looks like RuPaul, only shemale-ier.

Room for this too?

Dude was a serious racer.

What? I'm not dead!

Drive on, amigo.

Cool. I'll put in on the shop shelf next to the manual for my P-51.

Nice looking car, my friend, and perfect for what you're doing with it. Guessing it's the front wheel drive? I know some of them had AWD. It'd be nice to find one of those.

That car's on my short list of cars I could make awesome on the cheap.

One of my first cars was a 1969 Jeep Wagoneer with an Oldsmobile 350. Loved it.

My Geo Metro has a ton of quirks that make it difficult for anyone but me to drive it.

Excellent, Crossdrilled! You win!

Shmoke and a pancake?

You, sir, are horrible.
