The biggest problem we have is people who drive 30mph down the ramp to get on the 65mph interstate, and then accelerate slowly once they've merged in and slowed everyone else down. Getting stuck behind then makes me want to punch a puppy.

Is that the theme music from Short Circuit?

When are we gonna see active rudders to help with steering?

Wow, no Speed Zone Countach lake skip?

S2000 with stupid, pointless, noisy exhaust makes all commutes enjoyable.

Rowing down through the gearbox is tricky, but it's much easier to learn in a supremely underpowered shitbox. I learned in a '95 Geo Metro that featured 3 squirrels running on cogs under hood, who had a great deal of patience for not-quite-perfectly-matched revs. I found that the worst part was trying to unlearn…

Supertones are indeed super.

Mine's an 03...so it is an AP1. I had to have the one that went to 9,000, but still wanted a glass rear window with a (very useful) defogger. I don't have a fancy exhaust, just an Nvidia N1 cat back...shiny and loud. Most of the time it's just embarrassing, but the smiles it puts on my face at full blast justify…

My S2000 killed my motorcycle life (for now anyway) the day I brought it home. Riding is great, but top down in that car gets 75% of that feeling, but with a stereo at fingertip reach, better visibility to other traffic, safer emergency braking, and the ultimate douchebag indulgence of top down air conditioning at 95…

I pack way more stuff than I need to when I go on my annual storm chasing vacation. But it's better to have more than you need, than be without something when things go all pear-shaped. I carry the usual stuff. Lots of changes of clothes. Rain gear. Redundant computers with mapping software. Flashlights. Tool…

Did it have to be a production model?

+1,000,000 for the Merc. Well played.

When I moved back to Illinois, I needed to retake the written motorcycle test, because my old Florida one didn't transfer. To make sure I was prepared, I went to the State of Illinois web site, found the practice tests, and ran through them all over and over until I could answer every question correctly, every time.

Agreed! I had an '85 as my first car, that I got from an uncle. Same deal. Loaded. Raised white letter tires. I had to drive all my siblings to school with it. It was the first car I ever got pulled over in...for drag racing.

Thank you, Wisconsin.

The most quintessentially Japanese car on the market today? Hyundai Elantra.

80's GM A-bodies. They're the cockroaches of the road, still blowing oil from their valve cover gaskets just as they did the day they came off the line.
