Andrew, you didn’t link a song with the COTD!

Man I haven’t been chased by cops in a go-kart since I was like 14. Good times.

The obvious answer is that the car belonged to MIB, and the driver of the go-kart was an alien with a doomsday device.

A Dodge Shadow by itself isn’t much of a car. It’ll get you where you’re going, and that’s about it. But the CSX-VNT is a pretty cool ride. It actually doesn’t look bad. Very 80's, but that can be a positive if you prefer your cars on the boxier side.

I must be getting old, because I assumed these were the sellers…

Literally have the exact opposite opinion of yours. Chris Evans is a hyperactive freak, while LeBlanc at least has decent chemistry with some of the guests, like his rapper friend on the SUV journey. The chemistry is what counts, so if they brought in Jenson Button or someone a bit more restrained and a lot more

I agree with you, Dirgle. This is by no means offensive, and I appreciate how Top Gear’s marketing department played with the “lust”, changing it’s meaning from something sexual into the feeling of what kind of car we would like to drive, own or even see in person.

The lil Stig figure is pretty sweet indeed, I’d have one as well.

I’m glad I’m not the only one. It’s getting harder, and harder for me to spot the ever growing number of things were supposed to be offended by. I couldn’t see what was the issue with this one. In thought maybe I’m getting too old and can’t be bothered to care enough. Social indignity is a young persons game. The fact

It was cute and I want one of those Stig things for my office.

Made me chuckle actually. Autotrader car tindering is an office pastime.

This is funny and unexpected. Not uncomfortable at all to me.

Excellent! Been trying to think of a witty response but there’s no way I’ll ever ketchup with yours.

As fun as it is to see the Wienermobile hot-dogging it around COTA, to be frank its lap times just won’t cut the mustard. Even so, I relish the opportunity to see this happening in person.

I’ve driven right-hand-drive cars (in the US,) all with manual transmissions. You get used to it pretty quickly. the thing I kept forgetting was where to look for the rear-view mirror. although the balky shifter in the Mustang had me running into the stops between gates a few times.

Also, how jaded are we when 460 hp is dismissed so quickly as inadequate?

Spot on. It should be super cheap but reliable, so they’re not afraid to drive it hard, and low-powered, so they can learn the joys of slow car fast. My ‘90 Accord 5-speed filled this role perfectly. It wasn’t my first car, but it was my first car as an enthusiast, and it was perfect. I even learned some wrenching.

Snapchat was so aware of how this app could be misused they put in a warning message asking people not to do so.
