I am completely and utterly with you on this one. Jaguar and Aston Martin both should know better—their best and brightest should be swathed in rich, imperial British Racing Green. I'm shocked that my own playing around with the F-Type's configurator has yielded a classic combination (BRG/Tan) that I have yet to see…

I had a red-with-yellow-stripes one, too! Beautiful little cars, even in model form... :)

Tea is good, scones are too. Deliberately destroying a vehicle that does not belong to you is not. Kindly don't conflate the two. :)

'GM moved a totally of'?

Our friend Doug E. Doug on what makes a failure, and what makes a convertible SUV.

Chalky? You, my friend are eating bananas that are too green. You need to find some seriously ripe and well-treated bananas, or else buy them perfectly yellow-green and ripen them yourself. Or at least that's what I think would help. I love bananas, particularly perfect ones, but every once in a while I get one that's…

Man. That's a seriously painful color scheme. I severely doubt Porsche would do this, for multiple reasons. I'm no major Porsche fan, but this sort of move is even more unconventional than the Cayenne. And I hope, for our eyes' sake, that it doesn't happen—I never want to see a car like that on the road. The metallic…

My list (based on entirely non-scientific polling of male and female friends, mostly automotive muggles like I used to be):

1. Ford Mustang (any retro or neo-retro muscle car edition)
2. '55 Chevy Bel Air
3. Beetle (old and new)
4. Mini Cooper
5. Lamborghini/Ferrari (conflated, generalized term for a supercar, typically in…

Fair enough. As an American Anglophile who's lived on both sides of the pond, I consider marques like Lotus and Morgan and TVR viable, despite little (Lotus) to no (Morgan and TVR) US presence. The British market is not quite like the American one. Jaguar has actually had a very strong couple of years, while Land…

Definitely not. They're far more successful than Lincoln (among other things, they actually make, and sell plenty of, the high-end coupes, stylish limo-like saloons, and ridiculously awesome halo cars many of us wish Lincoln made). Jaguar/Land Rover posted a $750 million profit last year, as I recall.

And their names…

The latter was the one I was thinking of. It took a while before I realized that there was an official ecoboost with more than four cylinders...

Yeah, like the theoretical (and awesome) EcoBoost v12 Ford could make if they wanted to...

True, I know that, but that's not why they price baggage as they do...

How was that '99 XJR? I've been severely tempted by the current depreciated prices...

Well, I will say that the airlines have some blame to bear, too. Twice I've been stuck out on international flights, forced to repack critical things and literally discard a bag in the terminal due to changed airline policies one direction versus the other. Like when American stateside gave me two free checked bags,…

I know both those roads! I went to school at Washington & Lee down in Lexington, and drove that road at every hour between 5:00 AM and 1AM on the opposite side of the clock. That 4-mile climb, then 15-mile rollercoaster to Amherst... And that back road up the valley behind Buena Vista, with six-seven miles of…

Or, if you care nothing at all for your health, and only about what is ridiculously good, the best cream you can find.

And use the one of the finest commercial butters on earth: Kerrygold butter for the initial greasing of the pan.

What was far more terrifying was the IHOP I and some (surprisingly sober) friends stumbled into at quarter-to-five AM in a semi-urban area of North Carolina in search of carbohydrates and omelets a couple of years ago. The waitress cheerfully informed us as we mulled over the options that we'd just missed the police,…

Totally with you guys. Talk about insane straight-sixes, and you cannot skip lightly over the Speed Six.

He has an E-Type? Blessed man. I'm jealous. Also, it looks like you could eat off that engine.
