...that's pretty awesome. Keep us updated!

I can't say I know enough about it either, but I'm just grabbing straws here. And none that I can find with a quick googling, only some green car forums where people have successfully mounted 2" receiver hitches to them for a few hundred dollars.

My University's IT department has converted (with the help of the Engineering school) a small fleet of Ford Festiva hatchbacks to run on massive battery banks and electric motors. They're the fastest cars on campus from A to B because they're small enough to drive on the walkways and have absolutely mind-numbing

It's for the frickin' lasers.

Exactly; the Model S has one of the stiffest frames ever created, and the suspension, from what I remember reading, is a near "geometrically perfect" design, in addition to an optional air suspension system that, in theory, in infinitely variable for all types of driving conditions, including towing. The heaviest

Curious: anyone know what the tow rating is on a Model S P85/D? Gotta be at least 5000 pounds right?

That is a criminally beautiful Vette.

Dad spoiled me with a SuperKrome (SK) 3/8" torque wrench. Thing is absolutely beautiful. Also got me an OBDII Scanner, a damn nice Autech one at that.

Love it. Only thing is, I'm still hating on the new Caddy emblem. Bring back the wreath, and the ducks for that matter. But if that's all I can nitpick about this monster, so be it.

Does Keselowski's Miller Lite OG livery count as retro? Because it's the best looking NASCAR livery out there right now.

a 3 speed auto definitely doesn't help. Throw a rock crusher 4 speed behind it, I'm sure it'll hold

Bro's got a wicked bad hickey on the left side of his neck

Winston/Busch/Craftsman is how it should always be. With Union 76 as the sole gas supplier.

Gonna have to put "racing on a gixxer with studden tires on a frozen lake" pretty high up there on my "Shit I'll Never Be Brave Enough to Do" list

Maybe it's just a New England thing, but all the hockey moms up here rock either Grand Caravans or E-350 12-passenger vans if they need this much space. Must be daddy's rig.

Stretched frame F-350 diesel with a salvage title for the price of a new Grand Caravan + 2 years worth of hockey equipment for a team + gas for

Very true, maybe an Eclipse GSX for a little better at the time though. I've seen maybe 3 Beretta's on the road ever, which is surely a testament to 80's / early 90's GM build quality (coming from a (short)lifelong GM guy)

Several dozen, in fact. Several dozen cars are cooler than a liftback Alfa Romeo.

Am I tapped for thinking that thing looks kind of badass and if I was 22 at the time it came out and had never seen an M3 before, I'd consider buying one?

V-v-v-vaporware. I'll happily be proven wrong, but I don't see this exercise in photoshop & dreaming ever coming to fruition.

This is more M3, the Hammer is more M5
