If I'm spending that much on a car, I want something new. This is a total snob thing, but I don't like having last-year's model, per se. I don't mean that quite literally, but I wouldn't be happy with a Gallardo knowing there's a newer and better "entry-level" Lamborghini out there. I know, I'm a snob.

Fair question. No, I was just thinking that the Z06 will compete with those in terms of performance, and I'd expect someone shopping in the $100-120k range would look at the Vette.

And if I had $120k to spend on a sports car, this would be my choice. I see this, the GT-R, 911, and Z06 as the best real sports cars in the $100-120k range. At least because I want to save them, I'd go Viper.

Nothing against beginners trying to learn how to drive on track, but maybe he should start with a base Carrera, rather than a wild GT2.

Who doesn't love a fast wagon? It many ways it's a car without compromise and the Volvo V70R was one of the best. Too bad less than 3,500 were made.

That's one option. You can also get an all-black interior or black interior with the tan seats. Choices!

Not a chance. Sadly. It has been hysterical listening to this plan unfold, and it's pretty disappointing that it's now crushed. However, it's also hilarious that they were suspended over this joke.

I understand that there's a lot to be done against cancer and for cancer patients. But "for the Cure" suggests that your organization is trying to find a cure for cancer. Yet only 20% of their funds go to finding a cure. An equal amount goes toward marketing and administration.

Yeah, the whole thing is lame. For so many reasons.

I don't like Olbermann's comparison to the Haynesworth suspension. For one, Haynesworth violated an on-field rule, something that is very literally against the rules of the game. Rice's suspension is one of those "protect the shield" punishments.

Don't get started on Komen. What a hack of an organization. How does an organization that includes "for the Cure" in its name get away with putting only 20% of its funds toward research.

If you really got a loaded ST for $24k, you got a total steal. The MSRP on that car was about $29k for a 2013. We're comparing MSRPs here, though that still puts the ST only about $2k less than your Focus.

Typical Gawker click-bait headline.

Daman, you managed to make this far more complicated than it is. Allow me to correct you:

The latter, inaccurate as the sentence may be. Instead of "FIFA has...", it should be "FIFA takes your allegations and shoves them up your a**."

The one big point is that the dealership companies themselves (and their wealthy, caviar-swilling owners) do pay a lot in taxes that, at least in part, goes directly to the local area for schools, city services, county-wide pizza parties, whatever. That is an important point, and if the automakers own everything, that…

The headline says:

Exactly.

That was my first thought. "Wasn't SRT supposed to be the performance brand?" I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
