I never got the whole seatbelt hate thing. I’m ancient, compared to most of the people on this site. I grew up knowing about drivers like Stirling Moss. Seat belts were cool—just like race drivers had. Aside from the added safety, they kept you in place when you reached that 10th of a lateral G that cars of the time…

It’s a Veyron—you can see the Bugatti logo on the bag. Besides, you can hunt around and fine the who crash sequence online.

Slower than a tax refund. But beautiful. I had a Manta Luxus which wasn’t half bad either.

Exxon Valdez! Perfect. Those things were just family sedans with big engines. Every high-school yearbook from those years was dedicated to some bozo who skidded into a bridge abutment.

I’m right with you Tavarish. A beautiful car will keep its beauty for ages, and the ones you’ve hung the ugly badge on are slowly beginning to show why they don’t work. They’re just too busy. It’s the hardest thing in the world for a designer to show elegant lines without tacking geegaws all over it. Modern supercars…

Another Utahn here. Hard to believe we’ve got crooked politicians here, isn’t it?

Welcome to the generation gap. You’ll be on the other side of it soon enough. Hope you’re prepared to hear that Creed sounds like a blender mating with a weedwhacker.

I really enjoy my FR-S. Since I’m an old fart, I really don’t have anything to prove by winning the race to the next stoplight. A lot of the power issues are both real and perceptual. You hardly get any torque at all until until you’re at 3K or above. And even though that little boxer engine doesn’t peg until 7600, it…

Enjoyable comparison, although you picked the wrong Nissan. Might be a generational difference, but the Skyline was just butt-ugly to me. Why not a Z of the same vintage? Till then, I’ll happily stay in my Suboyota

If they put a sensor in the seat, they could tell what I’ve been eating.

Baloney! Unless your commute is a drag strip, the FR-S has got plenty of power. Try driving it on the Rocky Mountain roads I travel on and you’ll have a blast.

I like Ralph Nader as the Stig. He’d have to keep his mouth shut. And give him a Corvair to drive.

I’ve had an FR-S for a year and think it’s just great fun. I came of age when the world abounded in TR-4s, MGBs, Healy 3000s and XKEs. Then came muscle cars for those with testosterone instead of brains.

And they’ll run on moonshine, too.

You sure that’s not the Batmobile?

That blue thing just makes we want to flush again.

When I bought my FR-S (a great little car), I got automatically enrolled in a focus group called Scion Lab. Every once in a while I get a questionnaire. It's my distinct sense that almost every question comes from marketing flacks following a generic script they got in school. I can see why millennials would think…

That just goes to show you that even rank and file Republicans are tired of being bigots.

Both by reporting the incident and coming out in defense of his producer, Clarkson seems to be aware that he's got personal things to work on. He'd been devolving from a crusty, enjoyable host to a true boor. I hope he can get back to what made him entertaining and not cringe-inducing.

I think you got Jeremy Clarkson and Mitt Romney mixed up ;-)
