This is the kind of thinking that lead to the Aztek. A bunch of good ideas that GM nickel and dimes to death. Good thing Saturn had more sense.

Fuck Herb Chambers.

As weird as this segment is, I still give Hammond a pass for being such an awesome dad to his daughter abandoning his Porsche and running home to be there for her birthday.

Who won?

My boss goes to an auto auction every Thursday. He’s got a website he goes on that shows what’s going through, how much the starting bid is and how much recently sold cars went for. GTOs go through as cheap as $9k up to $20k. You can’t touch a V6 G8 for less than $16k. V8s start at $18k. Maybe it’s a New England thing.

Granted, I’d never go over 15 MPH with that, but as something to get you out of a…

Because, sadly no one will pay you millions of dollars and gift you free cars to drive like you’re in a Ken Block video.

Kinda, only not based on a mutilated 20 year old Mercedes.

Well, lop two doors off it.

And just think; with the Ecoboost, they could call it the Thunderbird Turbo Coupe.

Nah, stretch the Mustang platform and show GM how stupid they were to make a front wheel drive Monte Carlo, and then kill it. Imagine something the size of a Taurus, RWD, V8, two doors, and ready to cruise America’s highways. Hell, throw the Raptor’s Ecoboost in it if environmentalists get their knickers in a wad,

My ‘04 GTO mourns with you.

Ford admitted the F150 got too fat and it was easier to make the Raptor than a new Lightning.

The entire Pontiac brand.

When you’re broke, but Wrangler unlimited is life.

Potato, potahto.
