Too much emphasis is placed on spacing between the first x number of gears and the top one. The top gear, whether it is 6th or 5th, should just be a lugger; who cares how far it is from the previous one? You drive a manual! You’re only going to use the top gear when you’re done accelerating and you will shift down if…

I think I rented one of these on a vacation a couple years ago. We were semi-excited because it mildly resembled a Cherokee - and we liked our Cherokee, back before the world ended. Then I looked under the hood and saw they had broken that perfect engine in half and glued it in a v shape. Pressing the right pedal…

Is this missing a “[sic]” from you, or were you just pointing out the weak declaration? And do single quotes mean you were not quite quoting the ad?

You had a lot on your hands with this post, but I have to point out you missed fully half of the lunacy about the saw motorbike; a hand axe as the front “wheel.” I can’t imagine there is footage of this thing being piloted. Please, let there be footage of someone balancing on their solar plexus and taking off on this…

This car makes me want to sing!:

You said “huge vibranium.” ... Tee hee.

I’m sure the objective votes (based on the factual buying habits of dazed and ravenous ebay buyers) will carry a NP win, but c’mon. Post-73 commodity-level 4-cylinder roadsters with lotsa miles aren’t worth more than $6k resprayed and interior kitted like this one is. CP. I’ll go back to yelling at the sky, now.

That barrier was formerly the queue fencing for a popular bun and pho shop in the 1970s. It was not designed to be highly visible. The alternating black and white paint bars probably made it look like pylons or something with open spaces to the inebriated scooter driver.

277.9? How can this number be the answer to any question? It’s not like there is a brand halo effect that leads to massive sales. The long and lonely reign of the McLaren F1 as the world’s fastest car proved that ... a while ago. I think it’s because the speeds are just so absolutely bonkers: Close the road, make sure…

Holy crap. Between yesterday and today, this is easy week. A rear drive v8 with a stick shift for $1,100? Pfft.

Because I’m not an engineer, I think I would want a spar connecting the back end of the two fuselages.

A Merc with a stick? Them are some classy hen teeth, right there. Really sucks that you should have to pay more for the “standard” version, but this is Jalop, and sticks trump slush here. NP

I remember a big deal being made 10-15 years ago at the Mid-Ohio vintage event when one of the old ones was on the track. It was beautiful.

Yea, right. Everyone knows you can’t squeeze those damn things anywhere. These things are like that one guitar in the movie Spinal Tap - don’t even look at them. I wear mittens to the grocery, transport them in bubble wrap and slice them open with the tip of a scalpel. Then I pitch the half that has turned to slime or…

Is the engine in these mounted longitudinal or transverse? Not that there’s much torque to generate torque steer ...

In the spirit of killing the past, I propose we do the right thing, lay down the phrase “Easter egg” and walk away into a new metaphor, written expressly for the moment.

I try hard to not be monolithic, but I find automatic sports cars to be irrelevant. Am I part of the car culture problem? Or am I just a predictable irritant when you have to review a car that only comes with a slushy?

Exactly! There are so many of these dads. You mean they haven’t had lunch and planned anything out? Are you flippin’ kidding?

Yep - too many “just can’t do that” signs in the court room and too much surveillance - the guards would have no choice but to quickly move in. There are way better ways this dad could have, say, talked to the guards transporting Nasaler from the courtroom to the jail or wherever, then walloped him there, since the…

Well, at least thanks for saving me from having to read this article.
