I am 56 years old and I would gladly drive this to work. F* all the attitude and opinion about "middle-age crazy". I've always loved hot hatches, and that evolved into loving AWD and turbo'ed 4's. I drive a Forester XT, but if I had the means I'd trade it in a heartbeat for this.

What started out as a cheap economy car with an overly complex emissions system ended up being good enough for people who were fast and/or furious. The Civic Type-R is a proper hot hatch and a true modern classic.

Definitely the EG.

I never could get over the fact that this mid-engine car had such a blunt nose. It seemed like such a great opportunity to put a sexy Italian droop to it. You'd never know it was a mid from a glance at it.

Harmonica?

My vote also. Wizardry.

Just set up the DVR to record all Dakar programming. Thanks for posting this.

'04 Subaru Forester XT m/t. Add winter tires and you have it. Plenty of power, plenty of ground clearance. Seat warmers and de-icers everywhere.

I have lived in West Monroe pretty much my whole life. I'm 56 years old, and I have witnessed quite a bit of racial prejudice from all sides. I have seen whites treat blacks badly, and I've seen blacks treat whites badly. I have seen heterosexuals treat homosexuals badly, but one thing I have not seen; homosexuals…

Not so much difficult to fly, but a royal bitch to land.

Penny-wise and pound-foolish.

You sir, are a scholar!

The pedal goes both ways. I'd love something like this in a wagon for GT work.

Of course, the original inspiration for the Martini colors came from this little chap...
