These articles go from being entertaining to satisfyingly relatable when you test on a road that I'm intimately familiar with.

I really like most manufacturers' use of big, fat air dams under the fogs to improve the aggressive appearance of the car, but on the Conti it just makes it look like the Mulsanne's chubby little brother that always tagged along for street ball and got picked last.

now?

You listed exactly what it's competition was haha. I was planning on making a list but that isn't relevant. I have a feeling people are going to be cross-shopping it more with the R8 than the GT-R. The GT-R still has Skyline roots, with a large aftermarket community and a lot of modified examples on the road. I think…

Today is the best of days.

I've never been featured before I'm so excited!!!!! This actually just made my whole day. Fuck starting class tomorrow I'll just be an auto journalist like you guys! ... Right?

Embarrassing oversight. I apologize.

"Zoom zoom boom."

I owned one for about a year and really loved it. I didn't have any instances of zoom-zoom-boom that seemed so popular in the community, mine always functioned the way it was supposed to. With the Cobb stage 2+ tune and some supporting mods it really, really went. I'm currently trying to find a faster car (still…

That red tape doesn't count as enough of a fender flare for you?

Ram Air is for intake air directly for combustion, the tunnel is more of a cooling system for the intercooler (allegedly) not being sucked DIRECTLY into the engine.

I maintain you can find 80k mileage, one owner cars for under 12k in Austin and Houston.

Hahahaha I regret nothing. But finding one of these cars under 8k is still entirely possible. This one will probably go for 5-6k.

Here's a rough example in Houston for under 4k. http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/4829428083…

This is not at all in line with what is on Texas Craigslist. Maybe it's different where you are but there are typically multiple between 70-100k miles between 8-12,000 dollars.

I keep thinking about buying one because they are SO CHEAP for what you're getting (especially with some genuine reliability to back them up), but I keep thinking "but wouldn't it be nicer with 100 more horsepower?" I have a disease ):

Tav, I know you put an M5 in the subject (or at least an E39 with M5 fogs), but I think the E39 540i M-Sport is the ticket for this one.

With a trillion miles, I'm guessing.

You sure as hell hear it though.

Do you daily drive with the valet key or the red key?
