Well, the remedy there is for the family to sue the shit out of them. Of course, depending upon whether or not it's a comparative negligence state, his own actions may have defeated any suit his family has from the get-go.

If I spend over $3500 on a car, I want it to start almost every time I turn the key. This is someone else's garage frankenstein. It does not inspire faith.

Yes - that's it! It has a camaro-face!

My family had one of these (but a 4-door) when I was a kid. I always thought it was pretty damn cool. Just not sure if it's a hatchback or a wagon. What's the diff? The third window, maybe?

Ohhhhh. I had forgotten about those. Yeah. Something about the low-slung oversized grill and flared headlights make it look like a lil' beefy powerhouse.

It's amazing that they're still out there - they wiped out if you hit the slightest bump doing over 40mph. Every interstate trip was a white-knuckler. I often wondered why you never saw them tricked out, but maybe it's because the entire car would have to be beefed up from the ground up before you put anymore power…

I like that. Check out what stopped me from getting laid my entire freshman year of college:

Oh jesus. You come on here throwing out Fox-news clips, then want to lecture others on how you can't force democracy at the point of a gun, and that you just have to deal with secular tyrants sometime?

But he did fine in his brave little toaster. Didn't even need a J-turn!

122 ft-lbs directly to the wheel via chain drive? Unless the chain is made of titanium, there will be stretch, and quickly. I hope the teeth on the sprocket are tall and it's made of something strong as well. Why not shaft drive?

"I think it's far to early to say whether this strategy will be a success"

There's no need to make fun of someone that drives their car too hard and wrecks. They were working it. Think rally.

"These cars are driven slowly in wealthy cities, and carefully piloted over speed bumps at 1/100th of their maximum speed."

Well, now that I've had time to read your response, I see that it's not much different from your original post. Tell me this at least: Would you have a problem with them playing some Soundgarden or Tool at the games? Metallica and ACDC, if you must be "stadium rock" about it? Do we get to be culturally inclusive,…

You kids today don't know what crazy is. We would get loaded and caravan from one party spot to the other way out in the county on rural twisty roads. The first car would have their headlights on, and go whatever speed they wanted, the rest of the cars behind him/her would have their headlights off, and would have to…

"You little shit" more likely. Yuck. Need shower.

The kid in the passenger seat gave it that extra touch of redneck sadness.

There's got to be a story about why he's got a death-grip on that purse.

I, for one, have been waiting my whole life for a supercar with bench seating - one arm for my babe, one arm for my brew. When the europeans catch on they won't be able to make enough of 'em.
