Now there's a car in which I'd be proud to die a fiery death – and I probably would if my ham-fisted ass were allowed behind the wheel.

@Barcode711: I don't know. I'm pretty sure my GTI does.

This reminds me of a E39 5-series that I've seen a few times. It also has the row of dorsal fins or whatever you want to call them at the back of the roof panel. The car is white but the fins are baby blue as are the door handles. It has an M5 body kit but the chin spoiler is snapped in two and misaligned. Until now,

Somewhere in Southern California Henrik Fisker is crying. I'd be much more bothered if it were a 507 instead of this homage to it.

Since my car has a spot designed to hold 250mL cans, I would say Red Bull. Although, a wine bottle fits nicely in the door in a holder that the VW salesman said was for water bottles. Sure…

Jet cars are cool. But what's even better is that top fuel dragsters are faster and produce more power despite using engines based on the architecture of the Hemi V8 that Chrysler introduced back in 1952. Engineering is awesome.

I'd rather drive the world's ugliest Corvette than the world's prettiest Camry.

It's a bit ugly but not uglier than the FX. Is it really worse than the other vehicles in its pudgy, bloated and uninspiring segment, Escalade, LX 570, Range Rover, Cayenne…

The A4 Avant is at least eleven times sexier.

I rather like this setup (spotted at a Good Guys show).

Hello? Bernie Madoff? How'd you do it? I need a shit ton of cash, quick.

@GTRbrian: Education is what failed to overcome this issue. I think it's safe to say that the sanitation company wouldn't have employed the driver if he did not have the proper license and training to drive the truck. No amount of education stops people from thinking "it won't happen to me." Why do people still

Is this the end of restrictor plate racing? Or will they just mandate smaller throttle bodies?

@Maxx Cracker: I think you can make adjustments to the suspension from there.

@PaulE: Clearly thats a… um… Impala? Amiright?

Is that a Civic? It looks like an Acura EL with a wing on it.

Is that Chester Cheetah? Is he behind all this?

@Zadkiel: Which is why it's their fault. No matter how hard you try to idiot-proof your car, an idiot will still find a way to wreck it. It's not the car's fault. It's not the owner's fault. It's the idiot's fault. Here we have yet another case of unintended acceleration caused by user error.

The owner apparently considered himself smart enough to make sure he always left the car parked in neutral with the parking brake on. Why should he have to "dumb down" his car in anticipation of a service tech screwing it up? By that logic we should all have automatic transmissions, ABS, traction control, stability
