Great video! Out of all the wheel-to-wheel racing I have done, driving Formula Fords (and its equivalents) was my favorite. They are just brutally simple machines. And there is nothing like making a pass in open wheel, open cockpit car. So cool. A good quality example (including a Rotary Star Mazda) is not that…

No prob. Thanks for trying!!

Note that the Subaru's wheels are not touching the ground.

Totally. I was once there myself.

If you don't mind, could you send total amount of Opulent Blue Metallic CTS-V Wagons? With MT? That is what I drive (a 2013), and I would love to know the final production numbers. I can't imagine there are more than 25-30 across the model years!

I was quite bored at work until until I saw this. Excellent, excellent work.

Back in college I owed a roommate a favor so I offered to change the oil on her Neon so she didn't have to take it into the shop. Well, I didn't have the right size socket at the time and ended up stripping the drain pan bolt with a cheap adjustable crescent wrench. Had to end up taking her Neon in anyway to get…

Do you have a link for breakdown by color? I have not seen that yet!!

Yes, Wagon had highest manual take rate at approx 30%. Around 1700 total V wagons sold.

CTS-V Wagon manual! Only 503 produced!!

They are the perfect pair, in my opinion!

Now, let's talk styling. No, the 996 isn't the most attractive car in the world. But when you go home tonight, take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself: Am I the most attractive human in the world? Of course you aren't. You're probably mediocre. You're probably in the bottom 50 percent, overall. In fact, and I…

Wow! I can't believe there are that many unsold auto Vs left. I only looked for manual cars, and all of those are gone, at least according to cars.com. I assumed the autos were having the same problem.

I have driven the V wagon and newest body style E63 wagon and the E class is the superior car. The DCT is pretty awesome if you dont want a 3rd pedal, and its a much better "wagon" (more space, much better load area, etc). The Mercedes has all of the computers and tech to make driving the thing fast easy, if that is…

I say "was," but right now you can still get a copy of the last CTS-V as a 2015 model year car before the new one comes out. This is your last chance, and it may be one you want to seize.

Are you kidding? Nearly every manufacturer uses a corporate grill these days (see, e.g., http://dougdemuro.kinja.com/audis-boring-s…). Plus, it is nearly universally agreed that the new Mazda corporate face is very attractive, especially compared to its Japanese rivals!

I love Formula One. I love that its ownership is utterly nonsensical and that pretty much everything it does defies logic and convention. I love that it is still bossed by an octogenarian dwarf who tinkers with it like an especially skanky model railway. Formula One – the concept of spending inordinate, deeply…

I came back in to star/recommend this post and then realized I already did last year. PHEW

NC is a great driver stock. But, with a few mods, NC is driving nirvana.

Those cars have literally no looks in common. Z4? Sure! F-Type? Obviously. 370Z? Wat?

As for its size, while I wasn't able to drive it — I attempted a hot wire until a Mazda rep came over and threatened to call the cops, and I was like, call them, don't think I can't jail, blah blah blah, it was a whole thing — I did sit in it for a while.
