Doug sold his douchemobile:

That looks mighty intentional. Who would shoot a car on purpose?

My theory is the red car was trying to prevent the grey Civic from pulling in between him and the truck in the left lane. Either that or the red car was trying to be a dick to the truck in the left lane by slowing down in front of him, basically giving him the proverbial finger for camping out in the left lane.

Hoboken, no jokin':

It was, let's say, a good enough solution for GM. They didn't bother to work all the kinks out.

Exactly, it's not going to take up anymore room than a rear-engine setup would. If anything, it give them more space to clean up the airflow before it hits the rear diffuser. With the engine in the rear they only have a few inches between where the engine ends and the under-car air exits. With a mid-engine they…

With all the suggestions below I think we've come to conclusion that Tavarish was flat wrong. Any car is perfectly fine to purchase in it's base trim. In fact, maybe we should have a contest about which 5 cars you shouldn't buy the base model of. I can't rightly think of any at the moment...

While searching for the manufacturer of the head unit I did run across a few Android run versions. Pretty nifty, but probably a too complicated for me.

Now that you mention it, the steering wheel does look at least slightly similar to VAG "sport" steering wheels:

It is nearly the same that's in my VW Golf. It's actually a nice unit, why do you think it's cheap? VW doesn't actually make the headunit. They source it from an external vendor.

Nearly the same head unit that is in my VW Golf! It's a nice unit, I'll allow it.

Is this the diesel version with the Cummins V8? Are they still gonna do that?

Bottles and cans, just clap your hands?

The worst part was that the gauge wasn't even that accurate. Once it got down to a quarter tank you were pretty much empty...

Here's the cluster from my first car, 1990 Jeep Cherokee, 5 speed manual. Also no tach:

Does that speedo go up to 140MPH? Ford might have been a little ambitious don't you think?

"Premium" sound system. Yes, those other paper woofers that the manufacturer called "Premium" are totally worth it. You've been drinking the "lemonade" that the salesman gave you once you stepped into the showroom, haven't you?

Really?! Go for it! You won't miss it! It's only money! Come on, that's the worst piece of "advice" I've ever heard. You also wouldn't miss it if you put it into a retirement account.

6% today, 4% yesterday, it'll be at 240 before the new year...

Burnt clutch is what it looks like...
