I wasn't really taken with the Miata at first having gone through high school a horsepower snob. My friends had Firebirds, Mustangs and Camaros. A few had engine skills and built some very nice cars. Insurance dictated something less powerful so I picked the Miata. It's fun to drive, gets good mileage and asks for…

On the plus side - not a lot of thank you notes to write!

Hooray! Another limited edition Bugatti! Collect them all!

Love the 288, but it's relationship with the 308 is about the same as the Renault 5 and the R5. The 288 GTO is goddamn bonkers and unlike the Porsche 959, it was sold in the United States.

Check with Travis Okulski. Isn't this always the answer?

I hate traffic wardens.

An engine under load burns more fuel than one that's revving in neutral. The weight of the car requires more combustive energy to get moving and that may be why the car was driven.

I didn't say it was the only one. There's lot of beige out there along with some choices that have more soul. I'm a Mazda guy for the most part, but I found myself very comfortable in a Chevy Malibu rental not long ago. Depends where you are in terms of funds and what's available. Regardless, a person's car isn't…

$104/day to hold people in a jail cell because they drove too fast. Excessive speed demands a fine, community service, license suspension and/or vehicle impoundment. Loss of liberty for a crime where no one has been injured or killed is a draconian measure. Granted, the potential for same is increased with…

A turbo is indeed more complex than naturally aspirated, but we've also come a long way in metallurgy and engineering, which is why Ford can offer ecoboost engines with long warranties. A mid engine step up from for the Miata crowd in the 40k price range would be a fantastic addition and a great "starter" Porsche.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the link!

Or perhaps it says "I daily drive my family around in this bitch and save my hooning for the weekends." I wouldn't be happy to drive an appliance like the Camry, but it's a car you can be damn sure starts when you turn the key.

Dude, what part of "simpler, smaller, lighter, less expensive Porsche" do you take objection? The ghost of Colin Chapman just gave the ghost Ferry Porsche a high five.

I don't care what it has under the hood or what chassis it's on. It looks like someone with a ton of money and no taste took his childhood drawing of daddy's car and made it come to life.

It's much better in daylight.

All depends on where you are. "Spirited driving" on US 129 "Tail of the Dragon" is totally fine as long as you keep it within reason and respect the double yellow line at all times.

I wonder how effective deer whistles would be at track speeds.

"It's great, but it needs more power."
