Would they recognize you? I wouldn't mention it, I would just go in, say you are interested, and test drive it, then say, ill get back to you. A good dealership won't mind but some of them are assholes who try to "peg you as a buyer or non-buyer the minute you step in the door". Its annoying, there is so much…

This is a bit misleading and I think is founded in the mistaken idea that mid-engine cars are trying to achieve a 50/50 weight distribution which is founded in the mistaken belief that a 50/50 weight distribution is ideal. Most true mid engine cars have a significant rearward weight bias which is actually beneficial…

So have you driven the new mustang yet then? I know it seems counter-intuitive but if you have not driven one, you should go and try it, without the intention of buying it, just to see if the grass really is greener on the other-side. Naturally aspirated engines are fun, but the V6 in the mustang is nothing special. I…

and how about not dismissing cars for bullshit reasons. I went to the local car show with my MIL and she wouldn't even look at the Fords because of the brand. I would understand if she had been burned by the blue oval before (she hasn't) but she has an unreasonably strong attachment to Hondas to the point that she…

mine has the performance exhaust and it seems quiet in all modes, I think the single titanium exhaust on my s2000 ruined reasonably loud exhausts for me...

It looks like it would be the perfect car for another car to use as a crumple zone... Poor show Datsun (I can't believe they are still using that name anywhere) poor show.

Can we stop claiming a Toyota Camry is the embodiment of all evil? Everyone knows the embodiment of pure evil is actually the Toyota Prius.

Does anyone else feel like crowdfunding is getting a little out of hand? I get it when small start ups are trying to raise money for a cool new idea, but raising millions of dollars for operating costs for a major racing team in one week? That seems like a stretch.

It's on my "if I come into an extra 50k and a covered parking spot" list. For a second I thought "damn, those are overpriced" but in reality, for the amount of craftsmanship that goes into them it makes my Corvette seem like a huge ripoff.

They made it a 2 door which made it fall off my radar. I'll take my performance sedans with 4 doors thank you!

No, this is the best film about the Ferrari Testarossa ever... Okay, technically its a 512 TR but still...

We should have known this would happen when Carmax officially started referring to it as "The DeMuro" by Land Rover.

Yeah, it's definitely a nice perk of the new aluminum frame that they could make all Corvettes go roofless. It's a pretty amazing piece too, carbon fiber so its easy to take on and off, and it fits in the back but still allows you to put stuff underneath.

I guess they figure when you pay 120k for something, you don't want to be seen having to do any manual labor to make it go. :) I don't get it either...

So are we supposed to be impressed by this? Seems to me that Callaway is kind of phoning it in here, taking a truck that normally makes 420hp (tuned down from 460hp in the C7), adds a supercharger, bringing it to 540hp. When GM adds a blower it takes it to 650hp. The callaway C7 makes 627hp...

It doesn't seem like…

Don't forget that they now offer a hybrid version that nets you an additional 4 city MPG for a whopping 29 city mpg. All for the low low cost of an additional 3-4000 bucks which means at a gas price of $4 per gallon it would take you a cool 214,000 miles to make up the difference in MSRP! That's assuming no extra…

Haha, we have a newish beer garden that my wife and I finally made it over to, they had a great selection of beers (and tasty German food) and I was happy that the people there were a pretty mixed bunch. There was a big group of middle aged women, almost looked like some sort of reunion bunch, couples with their dogs…

The thing about PBR is that out of the shit beers its actually not bad, its like alcoholic water, mostly good for hydration. I live in "midtown" which is basically where a hipster would live, so the strikes are counting up against me. Oh well, as long as I keep doing things because I want to do them and not because…
