@OG_: It's optimized for fuel economy, not really for performance.

If you want to sit that far away from your two kids to minimize the annoyance, just leave them at home.
@AnnoyedStraightWhiteGuy: I work at a Cadillac dealer- I had a woman ask if we made an Escalade that seats more than eight. She had six kids and was pregnant again, plus her and hubby. Lady, if you have nine people to cart around, you basically have to get a full size van or you and hubby have to drive two vehicles-…
2010 having been the first year since 1985 that Camaro sold better than Mustang (I know, there were a few Camaro-free years in there anyway) GM is trying to hang onto that crown as long as possible- if they don't change, even just for 15-20hp, they will start heading into that same stagnant mess they always end up in.…
@RaptorCK: It's all Bill, owing to the fact that he's dead and we're therefore required to take his side. :-p
@Slamdance Cosmopolis: Perhaps even in the colon.
I figured it was Gojira's heat ray/fire breath that took care of this kind of thing. Once you see the strings being pulled like this, it just isn't magic anymore.
Step 1: Make many moneys for several years.
@bradledy: I always noticed they went to a relatively nice part of town to find these people- always something with a two car garage and never in a really scary neighborhood. I'm guessing they just picked people who lived with their parents/grandma/babymama's grandma. You also lose the 'surprise' aspect when you see…
Make a half a million dollars, save a third for taxes. This does not seem overly complicated.
Gotta be a Saab 900 turbo- a car you could outrun a lot of more expensive cars in, then haul a dryer home in the back.
@John Carter: *hope. Dammit, now nobody will buy my comment. :-p
@Nurburgringer: I was just telling my fiancee that- a VX220 can be had there for the equivalent of $15k US, here you'd pay twice that for a used Elise that does the same thing and looks like an insect. Proof that the Elise/Exige chassis isn't just the choice du jour (Tesla, Venom, etc.)- it's been around a while in…
And now the latest from "Carter Comments" (Trademark pending):
Quick! Re-register the Lumina name before some supercar maker gets it!
@ifonlyihadthestar: honestly, I haven't the faintest idea of how it still shows a facebook picture- something must have overlapped somewhere.
@ifonlyihadthestar: He can log into Jalopnik through Facebook. He once had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline. He has a cop motor, cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. and he is a model made before catalytic converters so he will run good on regular gas. He is the most Jalopnik'ed man in the…
@Dab O' Swine: I like my women like I like my coffee, ground up and run through a fine filter.
