My first car, in that color (minus the rust, even though it was 12 years old when I got it). Aside from the mosquito-dusting it did from all the oil burning, the biggest problem was the lack of dashboard vents. As in, there were NONE AT ALL. Good lord that car was hot in the summer...

but that's a lot of chop-shop engineering for a fashion statement.

yea, its getting ridiculous.

My dad owns a commercial A/C company. They were just contracted to do a Elio dealership here in Houston, Texas where they will assemble and sell. I think it'll be done later 2015

I was going to submit the e30 in general, but the e30 convertible is definitely one step above.

I doubt he hopped off, I'd bet it much more likely that he just tucked the bike in the middle of the corner and the bike kept on going. Happens all the time. Don't blame the rider on this one, sure he could also have a bungie kill switch on the bike and blah blah blah scenarios, but its just a tragic accident. leave…

It sounds to me like she panicked, then returned once she calmed down and rational thought returned.

Yeah this

The Model S will still sell fine.

Wow. That's a beauty.

That's a good point and I considered mentioning that an the GTI as well, but I feel that the WRX/GTI are really just performance versions of the Impreza/Golf so not really qualified as "base" cars.

Really Tyler? Really? An article about bridge layers that doesn't include this?

Dude, they do it all the time. Literally. Around here, every BMW I see says "BMW of Fairfax" or "Passport". Almost every Mercedes says "Euro Motorcars". They just have fancy little badges instead of plastic lettering (except passport...they use crappy lettering).

You must have been hanging out with the wrong people. Growing up I always bemoaned the fact that we couldn't get any new American RWD cars. Only the Germans were keeping us from total annihilation. That's why I enjoyed my first car so much, a 1995 Ford Thunderbird.

Which is dumb (though I think you said that) because by the time the model 3 is available for sale, fuel prices will be right back up to where they were.

And here I thought I was the only one crazy enough for that. I love a well balanced RWD car with good tires in the snow. Snow-nuts with the top down are so much fun. A couple of years back, a Miata on Blizzaks won the ice races that my friend likes to go to.

This is quite literally the best idea. I cant wait for it to snow just so that I can do this.
