@TR3-A: I worked at a rental car company in the late 1980's that rented high line vehicles like (Jaguar, MB, BMW, etc) . I had an opportunity to drive a XJ6. I was amazed at how easily the vehicle would reach triple digit speeds in supreme comfort. (yes I was 18 at the time, but I wasn't trying to murder the engine).…

This is disturbing. A similar incident happened on a pedestrian bridge on 695 (Baltimore beltway) as a truck did a similar thing. Unfortunately, a female in a Dodge Durango was behinf the truck and debris fell on her vehicle, crushing her. A traffic camera captured the horrific event. On this video, I am glad the…

Wow, these were real men. I can only wish that I am half the man he was. The skill and courage exhibited by Rosemeyer and other drivers of that era are unrivaled. While motorsports is still dangerous, the inventions of ground effects, safety cells, KERS, vastly superior brakes and tires, firesuits, and helmets has…

@Cheeseslap: You win

Mazda6 Wagon, Lancer Sportback, Volvo 240, BMW 3 Series, and the Accord Wagon all have a place in my heart and a special nod to my old 1993 Legacy GT Wagon (2.2L bulletproof wagon, 250k miles until rearended, great handling and first year for raised roof)

Ok, maybe I am a contrarian here, but I think GM buying Saab actually will help Saab in the long run. Do not get me wrong, I love Saab's and their quirks. But GM's provided new platforms and engine development for Saabs and as GM improved, so did Saab. In fact, with the infusion of money from EIB , some GM money and a…

@powermatic: First off , I like the design of the Red Bull logo and the fact that they have no problem being a major sponsor for many racing events. I had a Red Bull once and two things stick out; 1)It tastes funny and 2) I was wired for hours....

@chris.edgette: This is a perfect answer. I tend to agree with you. The Corvette (especially the C6) is a great sports car, with good driving dynamics, fantastic engine and a great price point. However, the problem exists that the economies of scale that allow the Corvette to be a "value" in the sports car world also…

Prove positive that Ford really didn't care about the baseline Mustang during this period. My father had an '83 w/ the 3.8L V6 that while didn't set the world on fire was at least capable of getting out its way. By the late '80's, either you "ponied up" (catch the wordplay ...I'm just that clever)for the 5.0L or you…

Top gear succeeds for two very distinct reasons: 1)Hammond/May/Clarkson have a great chemistry together and it shows and 2) TG relishes in the absurdity of the automobile as well. It doesn't take itself too seriously and is unafraid to publicly trash a vehicle/car maker/etc.

I actually like this. Trust me, I abhor matte paints jobs or the "murdered out" look that most celebrity cum douche bags prefer. However, I had a coworker who did this to a Jeep Comanche and it looked totally badass...

Without any objection, this qualifies as Nice Price. Honda Relability=check, Failsafe handling=check, great condition=check.... This is a car that will make you think you are a better driver than you really are.

To use a quote from Dolly Parton,"it take a lot of money to look this cheap"

In reference to this article, I do respect her rules (essentially the same rules that apply for meeting any girl). I agree that you should be treated with respect. However, I do realize that sometimes the odds are stacked against you. By that, by your own admission, your wardrobe is hand picked to draw the attention…

@DoctorNine: I tend to agree. iam sure there are some devoted owners, but I never liked the Midget. I felt it was too small, underpowered, awful bumpers and funky driveline height. I love old Triumphs, Alfas, and MGB's but not this

Pass the C to the R to the ACK pipe

For fun (hypothetically) A Lancia Stratos because of its legacy. Knowing my luck in these areas, I will quickly die in a fireball...but dayummm....

Color aside, I actually like the car. However, compared the Verde has nothing on the Ford GT in the looks department.
