My Fiero would blink a light at me to tell me the codes if I shorted two of the pins in the OBD-I port:

I call this the Cleft Palate design language. Similar to the otherwise awesome Audi R8. There is just something about the lack of bumper below the headlights that bugs me.

I actually kind of like that collection as a whole...

I like 80s GM "sports" cars. The Firebirds, C4 Vettes, Fieros, Camaros, Monte Carlos. They may not be the fastest or the best handling, but I think they had more character than later years GM.

While I'm not a baby boomer, to me the expected car ownership mileage range is from 100k to 150k, anything before and after that is kind of a bonus, though hopefully my latest ride will last up to 200k. Then I fully expect it to blow up as it's German and not Japanese.

It also allows Ford to enhance things by "layering in certain sound characteristics on top of what's already there," he said. To determine the right mix, the engine processor monitors torque output and changes things accordingly. "The intent is to be a natural experience," said Carney.

The S7's weight distribution is 55/45 towards the front.. It's not nearly as bad as Audis used to be. The M6 Gran Coupe is 52.3/47.7 for reference and costs $30k more. Plus quattro AWD is hard to beat.

It's dead sexy.. and it has more doors than a 911.

Yea but the first-get was still hideous, even if it maybe wasn't necessarily a bad car.

Yea but they could use another mulligan.. they still didn't make it in..

There was a series of mistakes, even before that one:

There's this thing..

Well, I've kind of outgrown the 2-door coupe at this point, what with the kids and all, so for the around a $100k price I've been drooling over the Audi S7's lately, but assuming I already had one, and wanted a 2-door coupe for around $100k, I'd likely be looking at something CPOd but more exotic. Out of these 4…

You got to look at this as "art", since that's apparently a $4000 paint job on it.. and you get the wheels for free!

That front for some reason reminds me of this:

Different units of measurement. If I read this correctly, then 0.413 BAC (or g/100ml) comes to 4.13 g/Kg in Europe...

Yea that one's pretty bad..

I nominate "meager-mobile", on the basis that generally cars that get the apparently undesirable "chick car" moniker, tend to fall on the unexciting or uninteresting side of things. And I do realize that these terms have a negative connotation, but isn't that the idea? Relay the weakness/mediocrity/shortcoming,…

That's what I was thinking, over like a trench or something..

You know there are actually kind of badass, but only when towing..
