Late 40's male with a clean driving record (*knocks on wood*) and I’m looking at $1,700 a year for a 2016 Challenger Hellcat 6 speed. But I live in the worst county of a no-fault state, so there’s that...

There’s going to be a day in the near future where one of my non-enthusiast friends asks me about my car and I’m going to have to say, “Naw man. This is just a Hellcat. It only makes 707 HP” and they’re going to walk away disappointed.

I had the stereotypical “why do you spend so much time with that stupid car” girlfriend in college. Cars, to her, were appliances. Wrenching and cleaning were things you paid others to do when necessary. “Sporty” was getting a sunroof on the base model car. Why on earth would you ever need to make a car faster, or

Those donuts were a damn emergency, son!

Wasn’t it the diesel Chevette that you couldn’t get air conditioning on, because it couldn’t run the compressor and get up a 5% incline?

IIRC a lot of the Pontiac Fiero engineering was done in the later half of the 70's, too. A mainstream mid-engine car with plastic cladding body over a space frame was pretty ambitious for the time.

Oh, I get it. The Chevette was amazing to see. I doubt it would be amazing to own.

Funny you mention Chevettes. I had the privilege of visiting the GM Heritage Center, and amongst the fabulous prototypes, the magnificent muscle cars, and the amazing brass era cars, was a Chevette with zero miles. It had never been sold. It was still in the factory wrappers. It even had the 1976 Bicentennial seat

You think that’s bad? Wait until you unleash a group of actual, sanctioned, competitive kart racers on rental karts. It’s like the rental car scene from Days of Thunder. Between the frustration of “Oh man if I could only have 15 minutes to give this crate an alignment and a new set of MG reds...” and the

A Porsche racing Mulholland Drive? Watch out for the Vette!

Make Formula 1 beautiful again!

You know the second that Alonso signed a Mercedes contract that the W08 would be the biggest piece of crap on the grid next year. He has impeccably bad timing about these things.

The Gaineses have never tried to hide their faith, nor should they feel pressured to.

Call me a bad American, but I could not be more excited about the Hellcat review. HELLCAT HELLCAT HELLCAT!!!

I like this idea, but are we prepared to see McLaren with negative points?

I’ve often advocated for horizontal passenger accommodations. Put a bunch of submarine bunks in there and stack people 3-4 high. Especially for red-eye flights - I’d sign up for that in a heartbeat.

I started buying Hot Wheels for my nephew the day after the pregnancy was announced. I think I’m up to over 300 now. Everytime I’m in a grocery store, department store, or on any other boring errand location, I have an excuse to stop and look at little toy cars. I get to pick out specific cars. 70's muscle cars.

It’s a very stupid ad. You obviously take the 467 horsepower car. Why? Because they don’t make one with 468.

You wouldn’t have to convince my 76 year old father. I’m pretty sure that when something happens to my mom, Dad will have their SUV traded in on a new Camaro SS in time for her funeral.

We can’t even figure out what now-sort-of-Italy’s-problem Dodge is up to now besides stuffing Hellcat engines in things, anyway.
