Everybody has driven the GT90 in Need for Speed, so we forgot they never actually built it.

Future dealership experiences are just going to be these guys saying, “How much you got?”

I think Scott Petersen was charged with two counts of murder for killing his pregnant wife.  And that was in California.

Obviously nothing that would satisfy you, Chris.

Most Indy Car drivers aren’t good enough to make it to F1 and they have a huge chip on their shoulders about it. They don’t mind if they come in and just putt around in the back for a while (Max Chilton, Marcus Ericsson, etc.) But come in and make a name for yourself right out of the box with a third tier team? Then…

I bought a 2012 with the manual transmission. While not fast, it was fun enough. I took it in for service once and they gave me a loaner Focus with that terrible dual clutch auto. I could not believe they were essentially the same car.  And it’s not like I’m comparing the platinum trim against bargain basement rental…

How long before we get op-ed articles written by team owners about how “nobody wants to work anymore”

Are Corollas really being stolen or are the numbers skewed because of all the “stolen” car reports Hertz files on their customers?

Dale Earnhardt winning the pole at Watkins Glen with a broken sternum and clavicle in a crash the previous week (I think Talladega?) It’s impressive enough that he was able to race at all, then add in the physical demands of a fast road course, and he still is faster than everyone else? Epic.

As you can see how welcoming we are to people fleeing a bad situation in their home countries seeking a better life.  I’m sure fleeing Americans are going to run into similar resistance to just moving to another country.

2008-ish I believe. Came so close to pulling the trigger on a Pontiac G8 GT. Test drove it, talked numbers, but just didn’t do it because I think I was concerned about the fuel mileage at the time.  Hell, they were discounting them!  I ended up with an Altima Hybrid (which was actually a good car to be honest.)  But…

Rossi was the golden boy at Andretti Autosport and expects to be treated as the number one. He was already feeling the heat of Herta coming in and being so fast. He’s threatened by Grosjean as well. Plus Grosjean has the added salt in Rossi’s wound that he actually made it in F1 and has podium trophies. Rossi is…

I think they do provide some benefit. I know people that frequent this site are anomalies, but most people don’t know about, or even care a little bit about cars. They truly don’t know what they want or need or even what’s available. These are the people that want a blue car that has a light in the vanity mirror and…

I love the whole, “Even though this is the price of our product, we won’t sell it to you unless we can milk more money out of you.”  I don’t typically agree with those anti-dealership people that want to go to direct from manufacturer sales, but lately the dealership model has been hard for me to defend.  Inevitably…

Why are you in the grays again?  Did you piss someone off?

What about finance rate holdback? You qualify for 1.9% but they tell you you were approved for 2.4% and they keep the 0.5%.

I agree, but it had a customer base, or else why would they bring it to market? I was actively trying to buy one from my local dealer and they couldn’t care less. Not every car has to sell 300,000 copies a year.  Small, niche market cars are nice, but you have to actually have some to sell before you throw in the…

Two years ago I went to my local Hyundai dealer and test drove a Veloster N.  I still had six months of my lease left, but told them I was ready to buy in six months.  Left my name and number.  Never heard back.  As far as I can tell, they haven’t had one on the lot since that one I test drove.  A nationwide search…

Maybe a movie studio looking for period piece cars that are as bone stock as possible?
