The ZR1 should look like this instead of having that stupid "engine window". What was the inspiration for that? The car from Grease?

Doesn't practically every test mule have a hitch on it? For test gear maybe?

I'm pretty sure I know what my car's emblem means. I think the "V" is for "Volks" and the "W" is for "wagen". I don't know about the GTI part... Gran Tourismo... intelligent? injected? imitation?

@amblito: I think these were made for Ford by Kia or some other Korean maker.

@wheels OF satan!: I don't know what the difference between them is but yes, they are two different fuels.

@Novaload: I call that color "OMG what did I eat or drink last night to make my crap that color orange"

The X6: for the driver who thinks: "I like the FX45 but I'm looking for something more expensive and less practical."

@TriShield: Uh, I think the performance Hybrid Accord flopped because the Accord is not a performance car.

@Charles_Barrett: According to the article she the nutcase lives on Cottage Grove Avenue in San Mateo... if you wanna go gawk or something

I think it's also worth mentioning that Alameda isn't pronounced in a Spanish way but rather Al-uh-mee-duh. Californians can always spot an out-of-towner when they try to pronounce historically Spanish place names because there's no way to know which ones have been anglicized.
