@ian.nai: I agree. we need more of this. Goes well with [jalopnik.com]

@Hello Mister Walrus: Or maybe just a bunch of diamonds.

@cobrajoe: yes nebraska is pretty far out there. Now that you guys are in the Big10 maybe you'll get cooler cars. I'm trying to add a cool car to the midwest, my dad's 1976 Maserati indy. Having trouble with customs.

@cobrajoe: I've lived in the midwest for 13 years and I see my fair share of cool cars, it's not cali, but it's not that bad. Heck yesterday I saw one of these in Minneapolis.

I want a poster size version of the '38 Chevy's front grill please. Where can I find it?

Why is it that firsts of this type always happen in some other country. Don't we have rich, over-compensating lunatics that can't drive in the good ol' USA?

@Ray Wert: Looks like a german flag on top. Wrong navy

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: I agree looks like the GT-R has a jet engine in it.

@Frank Grimes: Ditto

What is the JalopScore for the E63Wagon? one MILLION?
