Did somebody say WHAM?

I think that Bay Area is small enough that there is some chance that between expanded public transit, improved roads and possibly some automated cars coming up in the next decade or so that we might have a chance at a workable commute.

Tommi Mäkinen won WRC events in both a Subaru and a Mitsubishi. Rather than hating the other, we should do like him and applaud the making of two great cars.

Meh. If I’m throwing money away on an Italian car, I’ll buy a 4C long before I’ll buy a Maserati. They’re overpriced status symbols, are painfully unreliable, and have garbage resale value. Sure, great exhaust note and fun to drive, but you can do better for less cash. Easily.

In between that and the fact that she called in an Evo “EX”, I’m curious as to how much of a car nut she really is :(

Then you get into fun things like SMG issues, VANOS problems, rod bearings..ect..

Yes, but having driven many air-cooled 911’s, I’m not a fan of floor hinged pedals and terminal oversteer. I’m with Clarkson. I never thought the driving experience was all that. Somehow they have achieved an aura that doesn’t match reality. They build them much better now.

Big mistake...

White guy reporting in. Cam Newton is great. I love to see someone having fun.

Finally, an example of how to use that joke and keep it funny. Well done!

No, it’s the car - they’re the epitome of “performance before, and in place of, anything else”. They handle and drive like a scalded cat being chased by a rottweiler with a super-soaker, but that’s the ONLY mode they have. I know 3 guys that have had them - one sold it after a year, the other made it a pure track car…

I was intrigued and appreciating your insight here.

Then you said “...modified Corolla I had previously.”

Ah well.

Sure, play right into their apocalyptic ideology and create a few hundred thousand martyrs in the process, not to mention all the other bonuses that come with a nuclear detonation, like a drifting radiation cloud in a region where the west has damned few friends as it is. Great thinking, what could possibly go…

Every time I see this car, I end up asking “Why do they have a picture of a corvette and are talking about a Ferrari?”

Holy shit.

I like manuals as much as the next guy, but come on. A suck car is a suck car even if it has a manual in it.

*rollseyes*

We got four articles about a souped-up Ford Escort owned by Ken Block, though; it was really informative.

The answer is always Alfa Romeo

@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I'm sorry you think so. Care to elaborate?
