I don't get the allure of burnouts.

I love Jaguar, and I especially love the XJ220, I think it is beautiful, incredible engineering, even the much hated twin turbo v6, it was a project that was poised for disaster, but they came up with a great recipe, even to today standards!!! Now Jaguar builds the CX75, they made it right, and they are not going to…
A Ferrari. To the average person Ferrari is the best out there. A normal person is not aware of small car manufacturers that make faster cars such as Pagani, Bugatti, Koenigsegg, etc. To them a Ferrari is the fastest, most expensive and best car in the world. This is why when they do come across something, say, a Ford…
Hard to accidentally mistake one of these as another Miata.
Any Modified Jeep. I have all sorts of people from grandma's to young kids wave, take pictures, high Five, and start conversations with me, because they love my Jeep.
I'm not so sure about the very top, but definitely on the list.
Loved that car, even though it had *only* 370hp. Can't speak for it long-term, it was a 3 year lease.
I'm sorry that you had to deal with that, and in your case it was 100% the airlines fault if you traveled the same airline there and back. In fact if the travel was in the last 12 months I would send a letter to their corp. office as you should have not been forced to pay the baggage fee.
I had a similar situation in…
In the guy's defense, I'm sure he wasn't prepared for the exponential price increase from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4. I'm fine paying the extra $50 for an overweight bag, but why is my first overweight bag $50 and my third $500?
You say Frumpy old-man exterior, most of the world says classic elegant sleek coachwork, and Jaguars haven't been unreliable since the late 80s. Do keep up old chap.
To me a great road needs to be beautiful. If you can't enjoy the scenery as you drive along, then what's the point? Curves need to be manageable at high speed, but enjoyable at a lower cruising speed. Elevation changes are always a plus too. A slightly higher legal speed limit also helps.
...and a Triumph in the not too distant future.
My commute is pretty damn excellent. It's 25 miles of fairly untravelled country road in the leafy South of England. Most of the road development in this area was from well before the advent of motorways, so they follow the contours of the land rather than forging a path through them.
If John Wayne was still alive in the 80s and had been president, you just know he would've built this. The man's not going to pass up on Space Station PILGRIM.
Yup - I like US-60 from Amherst to Buena Vista, VA. I've turned a 7 hour trip into a 10 hour cris-crossing that general area looking for more such roads. I've spent hours planning a trip to take as many craggy-looking roads as I could for that... including finding one that was great... then less great... then…
I can't believe this wouldn't be dismissed for entrapment...?
The Triumph Spitfire. Some of the prettiest sheet metal ever in a cheap, classic little British roadster. A plebian could look like royalty in one. It's one fatal flaw? It was built by British Leyland, resulting in too little power and too little reliability.
While I do think that when you have a kid, you give up your selfishness privileges, ever consider that perhaps the people who care about cars would like to pass on that passion to their 'spawn'? Starting them young is a good way to breed more Jalops, Hoonigans, and Gearheads, and my fondest memories involve being a…
What the hell is wrong with you?
Are you okay, buddy? Do you need to talk about something?
