You forgot Manteresting.com!

I wonder if countries where driver training and testing is more stringent have similar issues. Probably not, because they also tend to have better public transportation, so it's easier to convince Mee-Maw and Pop-Pop to bequeath the old Civic along to their grandchild who is about to hit that magical birthday at which

Biggest? Explosion upon rear impact.

Here's what completely surprised me the first time I sat in one: how impossible it was to see out of the thing. What a cave!

I'd be interested in seeing what the mortality rate is among Camry owners. Not from accidents, mind, but how many of them are so aged that they simply croak of old age while owning the car.

Hear, Hear! I'm really enjoying all I've watched.

Got a ticket my first time out on the Dragon. Yup, it was on the NC side (all 200 feet of it). Luckily, only a warning, though. He was really out trolling for sport bike riders. I just happened to catch him during a lull in the crotch rockets.

I hereby nominate all of the dirt roads in my home "town" of Harris County, GA. What my early hooning days may have lacked in out-and-out speed and power, they made up for with full-oppo rooster tail'd driving through the woods in my little Dodge D50, pretending I was on the set of the Dukes of Hazzard.

I want to import one and drive it as-is, just for that wondrous "What the hell...?" reaction I'd get when I took it to car shows. And I would take it to car shows. And enter it as what it is.

Sure, clean sheet and all, but they kept the basic, but they didn't exactly re-invent the wheel with the LS: it's still a cam-in-block, 16 valve, 90-degree V8... how many more similarities do you need?

Thanks for the assistance from under the bridge, sir.

Shame Mr. Heinlein didn't live to see it.

"PARDON ME. COMING THROUGH."

As a museum piece, NP. But I'd want to drive it, so CP.

My 2005 Odyssey EX. It had about 97k on the clock at that point.

A friend of mine drag races semi-professionally. He loves using the third generation F-body because they're so cheap and plentiful, and he can stuff just about any engine he wants in them.

Not sure if minivans have already been nominated, but I'll chime in with a personal story in support of the Odyssey:

Can't agree less. The Flex Titanium I drove for a week (FWD NA, not AWD Turbo) had an awfully busy highway ride, and thumped loudly over every pavement imperfection.

I am in awe, sir. Not only have you owned a car from the make Mr. Clarkson, whose opinions are well respected on such matters (snicker), has declared to be a requirement for any petrol-head, you drove the hell out of it.
