Once again, the Miata is the answer. The car is already quite light. Travis already posted about this today. http://jalopnik.com/this-was-mazda…

This is an excellent use of rapidly devaluating state funds. Also, Russian rail travel is the most sophisticated and safest on the planet.

One more story: My friend Josh has more money than sense. He bought an Acura ILX. He wanted an interior combination that was not available from the factory. The dealer swapped interiors with another car for him. Only cost an extra $4000.

Back in 2005, a girl I was close with decided to buy a BMW 3 series convertible. It was a nice southern car with 70,000 miles on the clock. The driver's seat was pretty well worn and it needed some TLC she couldn't afford to give at the time. She paid over 20k for it. As is, no warranty. Then she named it…

What is it going to take to get carmakers to turn back towards significantly lighter, more efficient automobiles?

I couldn't care less about the Monte Carlo, but I grew up at a time when the Bugs Bunny Road Runner show was a two hour rock block of awesome on Saturday morning. I drive a modded Miata and whenever I'm out on a pleasure drive and the light changes, I say "green" with Taz's grin. Some things just stick with you.

That's all I have to say about that.

As if blonde jokes are any worse? People tell Polish jokes because they've been repeatedly overrun by their neighbors and failed to modernize between the first and second world wars. Tanks and monoplane aircraft > mounted cavalry. Lucky for the allies, the Poles had top notch military intelligence when it came to…

Easy - The Corvette. I'd love a new one, but I'd be just as happy cruising in a proper C3 restomod.

After watching this a few times, I was thinking maybe the Saturn was being tailgated by the Honda. That's a diabolical way to get someone off your ass.

This. ^^^^^ There is an ocean of difference between being an aggressive driver and an assertive driver.

Thanks to you, I'm going to read some Vonnegut on this holiday.

Duly noted. It's not like I'm shopping for doctors here, but if the list of the best doctors is nothing more than a popularity contest and the selection process therein mimics the Papal Conlave, I'll stick with the best reviewed hospital systems.

I'll just leave this here: http://nyp.org/physician/mcoz

the man is an extremely accomplished MD and holds a business degree. if you need cardio thoracic surgery, he's one of the top ten you could ask for in the world. All that being said, he's also a colossal sell out. As most of us would be if someone drove a dump truck full of money up to your house.

Must have been a hailstorm over the Sea of Japan.

Given her choice of car, I'm thinking they'll be among the boring untold stories of lottery winners who plan properly and live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

My dad bought a C3 Corvette back in the early eighties. He let me shift for him. Cars are appliances to my dad, but he knew I loved cars and encouraged my interests. Books. Hot Wheels. I build a see-through V8 model in the 7th grade and presented a report for science class. Lots of plastic models. I'll be sure…

And over the last year, I've indulged every single person with a big smile. The guy who wants to know what it costs gets to sit inside. The guy who asks if I want to trade gets to see the engine up close. Kids get rides, parent permitting. And if anyone wants to take a picture with it, I grab their camera and invite…

1. The buyer is "Vengeance Racing". This car's warranty will be voided six ways to Sunday.
