There were still bi-planes used during WW2 at the beginning. During the battle with battleship Bismarck, the British Navy still used bi-planes on their aircraft carriers and they were so old, the AA guns on the Bismarck were not calibrated for their speed and they couldn't shoot them down leading to her eventual…

I have this same feeling but it's not about the control, I know that is limited, it's more about knowing what's going on around me and what to do. I admit I tend to drive on the aggressive side but that driving has forced me to be very attentive to the environment around me.

From past experience, Infinti M45 as a DD, just get winter tires and be careful driving it. Took the car out to Colorado and drive it through Chicago blizzards with no issues in this config, at least until I got a winter ride. If you like the car and don't want to drive it in the winter, just get a cheap winter beater.

Automakers are now making nearly all of their cars with all-wheel drive as an option, if not standard. The thought is that it gives extra security in places where the weather is very changeable. But all-wheel drive isn't what matters. It's the tires that matter. Here's proof.

Live in any area that has a population and that's the general trend. People just expect to not have to watch out for themselves and do whatever it is that they want to do.

Ah the Caprice wagon. Uncle had on. the heat was stuck on full blast too and the back window failed on him. In the summer it was unbearable. In the winter, even at full blast, the heat barely warmed the front seating area

From what it seems, R400 has been more about power and getting the most out of it than it has been about usability. Or at least from the first info, forgot if they tried to make it like a Golf or no in terms of functionality.

I'll rock a slightly used RS3 or Golf R before getting a WRX. More space, nicer interior, quiet cruising ride, and still a blast when going through turns.

I'll take an RS3 over the R400. More practical and with a tune, can get to the same power I bet. Plus that 5 cylinder engine :drools:

My second exposure to an American car was in 1986. My father had asked the rental company for something "bit like my 323i". He was an old-school Brit my father, and unlike his youngest offspring never tempted to make dramatic attention-seeking outbursts, but after a few hours lolloping along in the Buick we'd been…

Right there with you. We all have lists of cars that we'd buy if we won the lottery but that's how you lose all that money quickly.

Yes to the R SportWagen! Love my 2013 R and would really like to see the wagon makes it's way to the US so that I can pick one up.

You beat me to it =/

Cost was another issue compared to the effectiveness of it. Also, the British did fake news distributions saying that the rockets were overshooting London when they were hitting. This caused Germany to reconfigure the telemetry and causing the V2's to actually hit shorter.

Needs more soft top. I do miss my Suzuki Sidekick. The thing was just comically fun and very reliable.

5.) Ford Taurus From Robocop

The standard kit includes a sports exhaust, Turbo-repping air intakes and lighting, and flared wheel arches. The suspension has been lowered by 20mm and dropped over 20-inch "RS Spyder" wheels framing the Turbo's larger 390mm front discs. It looks good until you get to the interior, which comes across as bit gauche…

It's different. My M45 has been bulletproof in the 5.5 years I've had it. Still, cost of maintenance at a dealership is pretty high, granted not as hig has a BMW. plus, what you got was different than what is usually listed (C63 AMG, 911, etc). I usually look at those articles and think only a person with plenty of…

you know, for messes like these: http://jalopnik.com/my-son-was-in-…

you'll run into the same problem on a bus/train/taxi/etc. Lots of people in the US live in suburbs that are 20+ miles away from where they work. Sure, move to the city you think at this point, but suburbs can generally provide a lower cost of living, better schools, more space, and safer environments for families.
