I guess they didn’t sell enough TruCoat.

Yes! A highly reliable SUV.

I’m going for 20K, whether the damn car likes it or not!

I appreciate the bonus exclamation points to imply wild-eyed desperation.

No way! We are going to solve these issues and it’s going to be fine!!!

huh, i can actually hear aston martin going broke as i watched the video.

Z4 passenger seat was nice. Surprisingly little leg room. Cool looking interior, even though this was the first gen model. Decent ride quality. 5 out of 5 stars.

Sorry about the breakdown, I really am, but I think this is going to be a much more entertaining car to read about than any of the others thus far. Unreliable or not, it’s still a sexy beast and I want one.

Second DougCar: flatbed tow truck.

I thought I’d love to laugh at its problems along with everyone else, but the truth is I actually want to drive it now. It’s so much fun to drive when it is moving that I’m a little sad when it has to go to the dealer. Hopefully it’ll be smooth sailing after this. Yeah, right...

Woot, I won the office pool!

I imagine that in some parallel universe, the Aston actually chose you, based on it having reached some level of sentient thinking and upon reading all your articles about your Land Rover it decided “oh, you want to see British un-reliability!??! I’LL SHOW YOU BRITISH UN-RELIABILITY!!!”

Pretty good, I feel like the adrenaline rush I got from ripping a bird out of my windshield got me pumped up for the date.

THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. On my way to a blind date. Except the bird got caught in my windshield, I had to pull over because the whole entire windshield was cracked and I couldn’t see out of it (plus the seagull was SCREAMING). I tried to pull it out with my hands and tore its body in half, there was blood…

4th Gear: The French Say They’re Not Cheating

I would go to Germany and take all the BMW Technician classes, or whatever they are called, so I know what the fuck I am doing. I would acquire other specific skills like welding and painting.

Now for my serious answer. I have not even bought a ticket, but let’s day dream here. What if I did win? And I got a $930M? Well, supposedly you are going to lose it all in 5 years. So, I would leave my job and invest the $$$ in myself. $930M should be enough venture capital to open my own business. Probably an…

Joking answer:

I’ve been saying this for about 3 years. The Forte hatch is a really compelling small car when loaded up. I wouldn’t buy one, but if anyone were looking at a small car I’d encourage them to consider it.
