I liked the last WRX concept. I was so excited for it to come out. Then Subaru presented the production version which looked like a bloated Sentra with Subaru emblems on it.

With the way Clarkson and May smoke and drink, you may not be exaggerating too much.

• Only $8,000? *whistles* That is cheap
  

My 2012 Focus with a 5 speed will stall out without some throttle off the line. But I have noticed that when I’m sitting at a red light in neutral, when I push the clutch in to put it in first the car will automatically pick up 500 rpm. Cool little trick Ford snuck in there.

And you (or he) didn’t get murdered? A craigslist success story!

I was fortunate enough to live in a fairly rural area and my father owned a Mazda B2200 pickup with a manual. He would take me out to these middle-of-nowhere dirt roads and let me drive, at age 12. He had already been letting me steer while sitting on his lap at much younger ages.

My anus? I didn’t realize it was way out there.

Makes me a little ashamed to realize the danger we insist these guys put themselves in for our entertainment.

I see you’ve got the Speed Energy logo on there. Nice.

My wife and I walked through a CarMax lot and were astounded by how overpriced and dirty the inventory was. We couldn’t see how anybody would be willing to pay the prices they were asking.

Maybe I’m “California-ized” but most of these didn’t seem that bad to me. I see this kind of thing nearly every time I drive. I wouldn’t even bat an eye at most of these.

“...California residents are still free to drive around the state with a cardboard insert reading “TOYOTA OF SAN WHATEVER” as their only visible proof of registration.”

The IRS?

I agree, his energy drink is good, and I don’t like energy drinks. I buy the Unleaded (Sugar Free) by the case from 4 Wheel Parts. So good!

What is rain? I live in California. We haven't seen it in a few years.

How about paddle shifters with a CVT? What's that about? I'm looking at you, Nissan.

Agreed. I like some of the alternatives:

Continuing to blindly buy Camry's by the boatload because you heard from your neighbor's cousin's boss' father-in-law that they're totally more reliable than anything ever. You just have to put gas in them occasionally, NOTHING else! They will never break down or need repairs ever! Especially if you lease a new one…

Can I get one with the Porsche engine and transaxle like the movie cars had?

Why does Chevy have such a god awful configurator? I mean, seriously, Chevrolet has the worst 'Build Your Own' feature of any manufacturers' website, and I'm including Volkswagen!
