My uncle is expecting his Z51 to be delivered at the end of the month. When he ordered it, he made sure to find a Chevy dealer hidden away in the sticks; GM has a credit system by which dealers are given preferential treatment for every high-dollar vehicle they sell. Small dealerships in remote areas have difficulty…

Am I the only one who really, really wants to like the Viper, but just can't? I'd love for it to be a Euro-snob beating supercar with some all-'murican character, but it seems to fall short on way too many levels.
It won't get an Ecoboost, but it will use BMW's new 1.5L turbo I3 (effectively the N55 3.0T I6 cut in half).

It really is ugly.
To be honest, AWD is extremely overrated in the snow. I spent the past two years daily driving a 95' Miata on all-season tires (185 width!). Through rain, shine, snow, and sleet, that little car soldiered on like a Boss. I never got stuck, and found myself intentionally seeking out hilly back roads b/c I knew they…
RWD = Sports Car
Dodge Avenger?
I daily drove a 95' Miata on all-weather tires (185 width!) for two years, even during the epic Connecticut winters we had these past few years. Not only did I never once get stuck, but I would actively seek out the hilliest roads while all the terrified sheep in their all-weather cars fled to the main roadways.
I know I'm in the minority, but I simply can't call this car beautiful. From the back, it is absolutely gorgeous, but the front is hopelessly ugly with the axe wounds in its headlights and bottom feeder grille. How can anyone look at this photo and conclude that the car is anything but hideous?
Here's my car, a 2001 E46 330xi. Why do I love it? It starts with M and ends with 54B30. The 3.0 liter NA straight six is so gloriously smooth and powerful (especially considering my last car was an NA Miata). Combine that engine with a slick 5-speed manual, and it makes for a refined and engaging driving…
We've all heard the phrase, "nothing's more expensive than a cheap Mercedes," but it applies to any car that hasn't been religiously maintained. The best thing you can do is have a full-works repair/maintenance job done as soon as you buy the car. It's expensive up front, but it will save you in the long run. As…
If the car has higher milage, A thorough tune up, I just went through my whole Jeep and fixed all the little niggles that needed to be done, changed the oil, Plugs, wires, distributor cap, fuel filer, cleaned the air filter, front U-joints, ball joints, tightened some things that were getting loose and wrapped the…
I'm afraid you and I are arguing something completely different, or are simply misunderstanding each other. I'm not arguing that manual's give "more control" over the car. That's an overused term which I believe to be innacurate, hence why I never used/insinuated that phrase. DCT's offer far more control. That's a…
"...at some point, years from now - you will be able to have that 'emotional connection' with cars without having to use your left foot."
Easy, don't buy one of these:
That's funny, I thought all cop cars looked like this:
