Wow. WOW. The level of arrogance from you... have you stopped to think about what you're saying? That you, an individual looking back on an event that happened over twenty years ago, can outthink the combined effort of the myriad emergency services who came together to help save that woman's life.

Wonder if it's the same dude in this Hooniverse piece.

Oh, and how can there be two USS Enterprises? You're not likely to get the two confused, but yeah, how does that work?

Ha! Nice, but that is and always will be a building. HMS Victory started out as a warship, spent its years kicking the French in teeth, and is enjoying it's retirement, like USS Constitution, in style, kicking it back and tell old tales. It just happens to be sitting in a easy chair, not standing behind a podium. Same…

'HMS Victory currently has a dual role as the flagship of the Second Sea Lord and as a living museum to the Georgian Navy' http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/The-Fleet/Ship…

That's been established. But in their current, active roles, they're both doing the same job.

Okay, we just seem to be getting into semantics here. My point is, HMS Victory and USS Constitution serve to educate as museum ships and both have active commissions. I think if the respective armed forces consider their vehicle to be active, then it's moot to argue otherwise.

You could argue this back and forth forever (especially philisophically- by your statement, if a car is parked, is it a vehicle?). Both ships commissions are honourific ones and while the USS Constitution still sails it's really no more in active service than HMS Victory is, seeing as they serve no practical purpose.…

I see your USS Constitution, and I raise you HMS Victory, launched in 1765 and still with an active commission.

That makes my heart ache a little.

I can pretty much sum up how the car is going to be reviewed. You're going to be pleasantly surprised by how much fun it is to drive, lambast its looks and its price and then recommend anyone who wants a fast three door MINI would be better off with the regular hatchback.

Indeed. I think that engine is a large part of why anyone wants one. And while the Sports Quattro looks brutally dramatic, the Urquattro is way better looking. I'll take mine in red please.

If you can find one for less than a $100k, you'd be a lucky man indeed.

You bought a car park's worth of 406 coupes? I kid, I kid. They are lovely looking things. Sadly you don't them around anymore.

Mine would have to be a B7 Audi RS4 Avant. Everything I could possibly want in one car.

Ah yes, totally forgot about Buick's current lineup being all bought in as opposed to baked fresh. While the Saturn Astra was a bit of a turd, the new Astra is rather tasty looking and not a bad little handler. I think the three-door, especially the OPC/VXR, would make an awesome addition to Buick's line-up, so long…

I have to nominate the Saturn Astra. Take one of the DULLEST cars in Europe, give it only one, boring engine option, and shove it out the door. Oh, it didn't sell? You're SURPRISED?!

To clarify, is this cars imported that were a disaster only in the US market? If so, the likes of the Phaeton and Maybach were pretty much worldwide failures not isolated to the USA.

Don't forget the Pramry!

None. I think done right, any car has the potential to improved upon. Obviously we know there are many, many horrific crimes against cars (and bad taste in general) are committed by individuals and companies in the pursuit of something better or unique (and I use both those terms loosely).
