I know what you mean, I drove my SC400 in three feet of snow during a blizzard, the best part is that I drove it from Toronto, to Guelph, Hamilton, Waterloo, London and back to Toronto as I had to hand in my grad school applications and packages in person since the mail service was slow due to the weather... it didn't…

Your Capri would be fine in the snow, heck I have a lowered SC400/Soarer 4.0 GT and a RWD system, it doesn't have a problem at all getting through the snow with the right set of tires/tyres, I've driven even mustangs in bad weather (not that different from my car to be honest, but easier for most people to get a grasp…

I've been racing for years and it hasn't cost me anything like that at any point or even close to it as a whole. The majority of tires used at the SCCA level aren't the type that would cost you an arm and a leg, while the tires themselves have quite a good life span. On top of this, the break wear is not that bad and…

It's pretty sad how most people aren't aware of these facts, actually I know quite a few people personally that wouldn't have any clue about anything that was just written here. The best part is when they ask me how I can drive a RWD sports car in the snow, I tell them with gasoline and tires, they just stare at me.…

Yes, or at least in the areas that I have lived and visited. For example, some stock cars technically have cage like structures as well, so they would as a result be banned from being on the road (an example would be roll bars for convertibles). In Ontario Canada for example, you can legally install a cage in a car…

You won't have to be rich in order to race one of these cars, in fact quite a few of these would still be able to stay street legal and the extra seat from the stripped car could be re-attached when needed (I've seen quite a few stripped cars with the necessary brackets still in place to put the seats back at the end…

Sadly they belong together if you think about it, in Europe the brand is known for shitty quality, though has a performance history attached to it (well mostly in the case of Alfa). They share a similar image, so they can feed off of each other in their opposite markets (Chrysler not being known in Europe can take…

3rd Gear: It is pretty sad to see anyone lose their job, hopefully the people they laid off will be able to find some new work, or get taken back if the brand turns around and increases its sales with the new products they are introducing (such as the Abarth).

From what I heard a few weeks ago, that is exactly what they have done for the Fiat-Alfa brands in North America. They have decided to switch advertising firms for these brands as the image they have created for the car is completely off of what they intended. They wanted classy and retro, as well as performance for…

That's exactly what I thought, it's nothing more from this render at least, than a C6 with a shitty body kit.

I could have sworn that I mentioned the fake speed cameras earlier in the day, and that I posted pictures of said cameras as well... Oh wait, I did!

To start fixing things, first give us the extra two seats, or rather the cushions for them, let it pass a safety test with them in, so that we can put a baby seat in the back if we need to. That would give you a few more thousand customers and let me get a car like this without my fiancé complaining about the long…

Dean, some people just don't get certain complex historical issues such as this. I had such a hard time breaking certain stereotypes and misconceptions when leading a university course on modern European history. Once someone has been fed inaccurate information and stored it away in their mind, it is there to stay for…

On your point, several founding fathers of the United States also fought to grant not only what would be considered African Americans freedom under this new nation, but also equal rights for women as well. Sadly these men were not able to succeed in their attempt to grant equal freedom for all men and women in their…

+1 Racer-esq: You sir are a scholar and a gentleman, your view here is not only balanced, but well presented and respectful. I praise you on your intelligent response and agree with you on your statement. People like you help give strength to our motto, Drive Free or Die.

Moron, read the posts and you will see how much of an idiot you just made yourself look like. Example, I'm a Canadian writing from Canada who is not quite, let's say happy that even some of our oil comes from hostile countries as we are not producing at full capacity and another problem with your soap box being that I…

I know that is what they are supposed to mean, but it has become pretty well known that many jurisdictions have now taken up the use of fake cameras in order to save money and lower speeds in suspected trouble spots. Manchester had quite a few of these, they actually covered it on the BBC, and in terms of Portugal,…

Sadly that feature is pretty useful when driving in a different country (especially one that doesn't like to post speed limits and still nails you with a ticket). I'm looking at you Souther European country that will stay nameless...

You would have to file for a patent and don't get an automatic copyright, sorry! So that would mean they are free to steal your idea...

Actually I would like for them to investigate a little more before they basically commit libel and or slander on a massive level. Quite a few products, people and so on have been harmed by bad reporting and there is no excuse for it. You can report that someone is missing, but claiming there is a serious problem with…
