I think everyone here knows what I mean. We all know a Marcus. Marcus, in the abstract, is the guy who you’ll have over to your house on Sunday for a few hours to watch football, but you know your girlfriend isn’t going to like it. By the third quarter, and 25 references to his “ball stink” later, your girlfriend goes…

This is such a “Marcus” car, too. That’s the best way of putting it.

This car seriously had all the makings of a Nissan 370Z, Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro, Infiniti G37, etc competitor. If you only look at the spec sheet, this car had everything it needed... but...

But really Top Gear has been in Simpsons for years.

next time ask him if it covers you when you leave Cars and Coffee.

Fiddy’s requirements in a car are, and I quote:

My actual reaction when I read the headline:

Forget 50 cent. Top Gear with Xzibit would be hilarious!

And now it’s time to turn the show over to our tame gangsta investor. Some say he's into having sex, but not making love; and that he got shot nine times and lived to tell about it. All we know is he’s call The Fiddy.

So 50 Cent, the guy who filled his driveway with borrowed cars from Steven Cohen (complete with their Greenwich Concours stickers on them) for his MTV Cribs episode and once told me in person that the “50" Edition Pontiac G8 GXP he was hawking was “modified with a Corvette engine,” is gonna save Top Gear? Right.

It's best if you imagine there's a very confused GT3 owner in central Ohio wondering what there's a note to Honda in his engine bay.

My money is on: it unlocks the doors

I’m guessing the doors unlock or something else happens that opens the car.

The “beta” thing is another marketing gimmick. Musk clarified that autopilot is no less engineered than any other lane-keeping assist cruise control on the market in terms of development but they are choosing to call it a beta until it reaches a certain safety milestone. It’s the same level of engineered and developed…

You know what? I spent a lot of seat time in a 4C, I’m beginning to think you journalists telling us how terrible this little Alfa is are the posers. For the life of me, I can’t understand how anyone can complain about such honest to god fucking awesome steering, decent ride quality for the handles like its on rails…

I drove one a couple of months ago. It’s a baby 488 in a lot of ways, without the elbow room or amenities that broaden the spectrum of things that you can actually do with the car. This thing is very close to being a single-focused track-day car, even more so than a car such as a Viper ACR. The steering is wonderful,…

First thing come to mind.

That’s the best use of that $13 Ikea playmat carpet (or, you know, something close) that every single parent I know has. I want to go to my kid’s playroom and sweep the Hot Wheels and trains off that thing and cut holes for my pedals and gearshift right fucking now.

I’ve seen a few old SUVs with the interiors coated in bed lining. This works provided there is no wiring to cover (and there is usually wiring to cover for speakers, locks, windows, and lights in the rear of the car). It’s reasonably cheap, easy to clean, and doesn’t hold the funk of a family.

Carpet deadens sound better (think of all those little crevices between the fibers where it bounces around and dissipates). Kind of always figured that was the main reason, at least modernly.
