Porsche nut, current 981 GT4 owner, lover of modified 911s like the Singer here. I’ll say it: it’s ugly. It’s ungainly. It looks like it’s pooping out another car or something. And I don’t like the current 4 dot headlights on an old 993- it’s disconcerting. 

Your comment leads me to believe that you know more about these things than me. That said, I can’t but imagine even in a “high end” trailer that towing the thing across Americas roads, onto dirt tracks for camping etc just loosens up EVERY SINGLE SCREW AND BOLT in the thing eventually and that everything eventually…

Seller is bragging about spec on this. The paint color is nice but the black top and interior are a huge negative due to being black in in convertible but also a tan would have complemented the paint color beautifully. Lastly those wheels are ugly when the blocky 5 spokes on these cars were iconic. DSG is no fun…

I drive a company car to work and park on the street in a small very dense city. There is nowhere to charge even if my company’s fleet manager offered an electric car. For my family ride we are lucky enough to have a spot in a small private parking garage but there is no electrical hook up for charging even if I…

But but but it’s rare!!!

Clicked through to all the linked articles to play the “how much younger is this person than how they look in their booking photo?” game but luckily for Madison they not only let her out of jail for 50 smackers but they also protected her age. 

Virginia- the only state where you can be thrown in jail for moderate speeding. 

Love the small details that add up to a significant decision. Driving your hot tires through the marbles to pick up weight? Hilarious. Should there be a 1 KG buffer above and below the minimum weight? Maybe.  

Can’t speak to that Mondeo but I always had a soft spot for the Ford Contour SVT with the small V6 and 5 speed manual. Maybe that V6 was shared with the Probe GT (both were 2.5)? I had a 98 Probe GT and the Contour seemed like the 4 door version. Anyway, the X type sucks and Fords best sedan was actually a European…

Is anyone here a marine biologist?!

The guy who had the Mondial, Maserati Biturbo, Mercedes CLC, Jaguar X Type, and BMW XM was the best. It could be any of those and as much as I hate the aggressively ugly XM I gotta go with the Jaguar X Type. Just ugly and pathetic offering from a company that at least has always made pretty cars, if not the best…

Since I find the SLS so ungainly and ugly I tend to box it out of my mind, but thank you for including the glorious 6.2L V8. I was going to attribute this engine in the C63 AMG since as the smallest and most juvenile this model got the loudest versions, even thought it was the lowest HP. It was glorious. Headed off to…

Good point and yes I got what you are saying. I guess having a manual car I am used to keeping my right hand closer to the shifter for daily driving. 

I am 9 and 3 on the track. In the road, especially long highway stretches, I can drive with my left hand at 9 and my right elbow resting on my center console/arm rest while my hand rests on the bottom of the wheel. And yes sometimes I drive on a highway stretch with one hand on the wheel. Doesn’t change the idea that…

With electronic shifters you can do any design. I have driven my friends S class with the column shifty- it definitely felt a little dainty for such a big car. I have had my own Audi A8s with the pull back, parking button shifter (D4 gen). It was fine. I drove a Range Rover now with the rotary. It’s fine. I have…

Where else to go? I read The Drive and it’s generally decent with a decent community of commenting.  But I have been a Gawker Media guy for so damn long…

Well you could bail out but then you run the risk of getting eaten by the sharks. Or maybe the sharks can come into the Jeep and eat you anyway because the doors are off.

Modern (last twenty years) Lexus LS for the win besides a modern Rolls. Won’t repeat what was already mentioned but amazingly well engineered and built car. The American lucobarges from the 70s to 2000s are terrible- the suspension was horrific- uncontrolled wallowing is NOT comfortable. In fact it can make some…

It doesn’t do that for you because you are you and not white rich Elon Musk. You realize that the current SCOTUS is completely hypocritical and they will find any rationale, bad science, incorrect facts, to justify the outcome they want. So it’s fine for Elon, not fine for the commoners. 

Tell me you’ve been here for quite a while without telling me anything. Oldie but goodie.
