I'm with Orlove on this one. An i3 actually looks like it might be pretty fun, and it would be a much better option for the tight quarters of DC than the bloated soap bar that is the contemporary 3-series.

If you think that your choice of car so severely affects your capacity to attract women, you have far, far bigger issues in life. Good luck with that.

The 3-er is actually kind of boring.

I wouldn't go that far. That would be like a manufacturer naming their next car "LaFerrari" in hopes of getting free fire extinguishers for life.

Hmm. Wrong response to the wrong person. My bad.

Proof positive that Chevrolet Corvette > Ford GT. :p

Agreed. I was going to opt for the Mustang, but that one-year-only split-window is just so legendary that even people that have no interest in cars recognize them, and recognize that they are special in a way that a Mustang simply isn't.

Sad, but not unreasonable. Toyota, like any other manufacturer, won't bring us a car if it doesn't make sense from an engineering and market standpoint. A tiny two-seat convertible weighing in at 20% more than it's competition, and cost 10% more? No thanks. An entry-level two-seat turbo sports car that costs as much

The awesome comments on why people love their cars is some of the best light reading I've seen today. Keep the stories coming!

I'll take two of those, please

Ouch. Those high heels look like they'd be painful to walk in, let alone drive in. If she's delivering the car, I promise to have a comfortable set of driving shoes for her.

Shit happens when you party naked.

Lead, mercury, artificial essence of Bill Mitchell, and a couple of other things known to get sharks killed and mounted on walls.

It's not really about the biggest, baddest, fastest, or most expensive car. It's not about being flashy or showing off your money. It's just about liking cars, no matter what kind of cars you like. Sometimes, others may not understand why you like a car so much. Sometimes, you may not even understand why you like a

Yeah, I'm just not sure what it is. Angular designs in particular don't tend to look good in white, but Camaro just pulls it off perfectly.

I don't know what the correct answer is. I know only that I want that Camaro.

I don't, and won't, look at engines from a simple standpoint of hp/liter. It's simply a nearly meaningless metric, as there are far, far to many other variables that affect engine performance and quality that override the mere measurement of hp/liter. Also, the V8 Vantage is lighter than its immediate counterparts,

I love SBCs, but no. Just... no.

I could give a shit about what Pagani uses; Pagani had to use AMG engines because he couldn't afford to develop one his own. Aston Martin, on the other hand, has already delivered a stunning 7.3 liter V12, but flat-out refuses to use it in anything now that the One-77 is out of production. The V8 they already have is

Laugh if you want, but I've always been a fan of the Ford Five Hundred. It wasn't a looker of a car, but it was reasonably handsome, and it has actually aged surprisingly well. It wasn't fast, but it wasn't half-slow, either. It rides extremely comortably, handles as well as anything you would expect in the category,
