Wouldn't be an entirely new concept in sports, either. For the longest time, the Ferrari F1 team was sponsored by Marlboro. They still are, but instead of a sponsorship, they have a white box (or some analogue for it) where the advertisement would be.

So, they're worth one point in Canada?

I unknowingly hired someone with one of those terrible valet stories. I didn't know at the time, because it was on his resume, and I wasn't too worried, since the job I hired him for was as a ride operator at an amusement park where all you have to do is press buttons and be nice to children.

It can be any Lada at all, though the older the better, I think. The ideal day would be January 22nd. I know this is a long shot, but what the hell. Oh, and it doesn't have to be just a Lada— I'm open to anything weird.

Hey Torch, want to start up a black metal band called "Schoolbus Pentagram Brake Lights"?

Sorry, Doug, but this is the most egregious lie you've ever posted. Your car will be capable of driving just far enough that you can push it the extra hundred yards to your local mechanic, not only giving you the cost of a transmission rebuild, but spinal surgery as well.

Kind of annoyed that I didn't go ahead and suggest Grizzly. Canada needs a truck named Grizzly.

But even with basic info you can find out that the Chevrolet Volt – with a Cd of .28, a weight of 3,786 pounds, and a front area of 23.7 feet-squared – would need 600 HP to get to 210 MPH. Or that an Aptera 2e (with a super low Cd of .15) could hit 170 HP with just 230 HP. I could do this for hours, or until Max's…

Even if he insults the reader, he demonstrates some awareness of reader opinion and criticism. You aren't going to read comments unless you're paid to do so, which just makes me think that you're out of touch with the reader to begin with.

Even if it was staged, it was a fresh gag so I'm willing to let it slide.

I agree with most of the comments brought up here, but I must ask: did anyone else enjoy the moment where Clarkson was driving backwards and being passed by a motorist? I found that absurdly hilarious.

They certainly are.

Probably not. North America is the only market that gets a manual M5, somehow. Europe doesn't really buy the manual M5.

A Lincoln Town Car. And I know this by experience. Seats are comfy, you have enough space to lay down (and there's enough space to separate you and the driver from awkward conversations, nor can he poke you and ask you to wake up without stopping).

To be fair, it's smart, but not for the reasons Peter thinks. It means the Bears can guarantee themselves a high draft pick now.

Earlier this year I had a Camaro Z/28 for the day. Not your ordinary blue-collar American machine, but certainly a car whose roots lurk in the affordable category. I cannot tell you how enjoyable it was – a vast lump of metal which some lunatic had decided to turn into a track car, an on-paper eventuality about as…

This surprises me from a land that enjoys death metal and hockey.

I should have looked this up beforehand. I didn't expect the market for an Alpha to be more expensive than that of an early Gallardo.

I'd fear what a Pennsylvania winter would do to the body, but otherwise, brilliant.

Okay, so my Twitter suggestion of a Mastretta is probably not going to fly (even though I would love to read about the struggle of it in resale), so here's my second suggestion: a Hummer H1 Alpha.
