I have no idea if it’s np or not, but I considered the TR7 one of the best looking cars I saw when growing up. A yellow coupe is just a sweet looking car.

NP. Yeah, you can get a nicer Miata at the same price, but you’re not buying this car because you want a Miata-like. You’re buying this car for what it feels like to own it. Pair all of that with the great condition of the car, reasonable price, and manual transmission, this thing REEKS of Rule of Cool exceptionality.…

I may buy that rap about the TR7. But if you’re really going to put the TR6 above a TR8, you need to shampoo and rinse that hair shirt you like wearing so much. Because that’s a foul stank you’ve got there.

The TR7 feels altogether more modern and different than the old British sports cars it replaced, but the early ones missed the part about being reliable like a modern car. By all reports that was pretty well sorted out when the TR8s were made, but the damage to the reputation was done, and, though a pretty great car…

I was a little torn on this one. The redone interior looks great, the dash seems to be crack free and the overall presentation looks nice. But the price seems on the highish side.

You’re seriously asking why the Cadillac CTS-V Blackwing is a good car? On Jalopnik dot com? 

I’ll flash my lights at people thinking for sure their high beams are on. Nope.

One of the few occasions where I think this should be a 1 strike you’re out rule. Get caught doing it, get your vehicle impounded. Then you have to pay impound to have it serviced to be put back to factory specs before you get it back.

“Carolina Squat” is stupid, the whole “stanced” look is dumb (and not exactly safe either, right?), but I reserve my highest level of disdain for any vehicle with an excessively-loud exhaust and their drivers who insist on forcing everyone to hear their crappy vehicle and pay attention to them.

Any kind of lift on a full size pickup. Again, please see your doctor - there’s more effective treatments for micropenis.

It has been tried, they have tried a US top gear like what 3 maybe 4 times, same with the UK version since the trio departed.  They as a trio work SO well together.  Besides Bezos has Rings of Power to dump money into lol.

Clarkson is an asshole, no denying. But, the world is full of them. We tolerate way worse in our celebrities, politicians, and friends.

I think you’re way off on a lot of that. Maybe you didn’t enjoy the specials, but it’s been pretty clear that they enjoy doing them when they can based on interviews that aren’t just promo material. They certainly get on each others nerves on occasion, but that happens when your friends with people. There certainly…

This whole experiment probably should have ended when Clarkson physically and verbally assaulted a BBC co-worker in 2016...

Clarkson’s been in Top gear forever, but the new format in the early 2000s was peak automotive entertainment. I don’t think any other show will make cars come alive in the way that they did. Even my parents who are general car people, they like em but not obsessively like me enjoyed the heck out of that show.

This. Replacing simple V6 and V8 with the Hurricane is going to haunt them a few years down the road. It’s too soon to tell if the hurricane is going to be reliable or not, but it’s going to be so expensive to maintain after 5-10 years.

According to Google Maps it’s 35 miles to Needles. If your tank is empty (which is stupid in the first place, because Mojave Desert) you can get 2-3 gallons to get you to civilization.  If you’re going the other way and didn’t tank up in Needles, then I guess you pay the “stupid tax”.

Some dudes: “ after buying my 1 ton truck, 40 ft camper, ATVs, SXS, snowmobiles, jet skis, bass boat, ice house and Harleys, I can’t afford gas, damn commie liberals”

It’s nice to see only a $0.20/gal premium for premium, versus a $1.20/gal premium though.

Well, maybe not Jay Leno...
