20 years ago my fellow teenage buddy was driving my '83 Mk1 VW GTI rather hoonishly on a narrow stretch of New Hampshire backroad while I rode shotgun. Coming up on a corner that I was familiar with, as a passenger in a car I had largely figured out how to drive, I knew our approach speed was too fast. My freind…

No clear call. It seems unlikely that the driver of the Maxima just pitted out the Cavalier intentionally, but clearly a yank of the steering wheel to the right happened just when it shouldn't have, which was at the moment of an overly aggressive pass by the driver of the Cavelier. Amatuer racing at its finest...or…

Mmmm....560SEC (drool). Wanted one ever since Miami Vice went off the air.

Even from a distance you can tell these stars are Volvos and not Toyotas by the beige-shift.

You know, I can kinda dig it...just needs diesel instead of giant dino-burner. Nissan needs to pull a few more pages from the Sprinter playbook. They've obviously already pulled a couple.

@x219c: lolz. They have a few other gems in there as well.

Unfortunately (perhaps driving the point home), only even a small subset of car guys/gals get this, or are even interested in getting it. My own experiences have show that on average, people just get as fat and frivolous as their paychecks allow them to, and that is probably more a component of human nature than it is…

@Ford Tempo Fanatic: You sir, are a class act. However, the thumping electro-techno rhythm reverberates through my skull for far too long every time I hear "Poker Face". That, and my uber-gay former boss would blast it from his office on Friday afternoons, just when everyone was trying to get a last bit of work done…

Jesus. A modded 318 Duster is simply a crack whore with decent breast implants.

@Turboner: Well, you have to admit that prior to that time all F1 cars only had 4 wheels and none had giant fans hanging out of the back of them.

Just a moment...The automotive purist in me is having a twitching eye spasm...

On the freeways, all cruisers scare me. I've never owned a car that could outrun an interceptor V8 (post St. Regis). And, obviously, nothing can outrun a radio.

I was really on the fence about this one. I was actually okay with the 17"s (I shudder to see myself write this) but a 22R in this car? Meh.

C'mon, do I really even need to say it???

@Turbineguy - now with reheat!!: Now available in T-Shirt Form:

I have seen more video clips of the various Group B Audi Quattro incarnations than I can count and they're all truly entertaining. However, if the clip includes audio...Jesus, that I-5T sound is one of the most glorious to come out of internal combustion anywhere—ever. Encore! Encore!

@calzonegolem: I've been in the market for one of those for eons. The ones with sub-interstellar mileage actually do cost 12k.

The E-Type hearse from H&M:

@Russter: Wonderbug?
