Because nothing that isn't called a Testa Rossa should have fenders that prominent.

I am relatively mechanically savvy (I have a degree in mechanical engineering)

I feel like the 348 is aging better than the 355.

Interesting. That's a very rare perspective. You'll see a lot of people complaining that PDK is "boring" or "uninvolving" (mostly from people who drive the transmission and not the car), and there have been a few complaints about hesitation off the line (mostly from people who seem to think they have a torque…

We went back to the dealer, and swapped out for a PDK equipped version of the same car, with the overall same equipment. Took it to the same area for the test drive. Not the same results. The transmission programming was so frustrating, and was fighting us with when we wanted the car to shift, or not shift. Even…

And notice how your analogy implies that the woman in the original picture is a whore

(Shrug) Jobs needed firing. He had to lose a fight with the balrogs on the AAPL board before he could come back as Steve the White.

Was there sex in the option selection room?

Man, your TV sucks.

Be careful that you don't judge all digital speedometers by a few bad ones. The one in a current-generation Porsche, for instance, is responsive enough to render the analog speedometer completely pointless.

How is this not a racist comment, while an offhand remark about the car being the greatest thing to come out of China since Orange Chicken is?

Go buy an inferior car from somebody else, then.

Must repeat so they don't sue me.

+1, better ending than the last fifteen Stephen King novels.

What's up with the dual ignition coils hooked up to the cylindrical gonkulator?

Death. Duh.

Agreed, it's a great tag line. Reminiscent of my other favorite quote from Ferdinand Porsche, when asked which model he felt was the best Porsche of all time: "The next one."

I hear it also doesn't come with a manual choke, ignition crank, or CB radio.

Seconded - I've driven pretty much everywhere and have never encountered as many left-lane campers as I have in Idaho. A real shame, too, because they have some nice roads.

To be fair to the know-nothings, it actually isn't impossible. But the circumstances that would have to exist in order to be electrocuted (meaning killed) by a 12V battery are incredibly unlikely. It would require skin penetration on both sides of your body at once. You would be more likely to die from the pain…
