Those wheels are just completely out of place on that car. Anyone else feel the same way?

Since Nissan and Renault are linked (somehow, I guess through partial ownership of one another), and Renault owns Dacia, I present: the Dacia Sandero R, which has the engine from a GT-R. It's kind-of like a modern interpretation of the Renault 5 Turbo. It would have a curb-weight of around 2800 or 2900 lbs, AWD, and…

You can hear someone say "Call 9-1-1" right after the epic fail.

I don't understand why people are so pissed that GM invested in Opel. If it hadn't done that, the losses from Opel would have been more severe, and GM would be even worse-off. It's not like they used the cash as part of some evil ploy.

Fine, it's cheaper to run with respect to fuel, and it's cheaper to purchase. But is it as easy to fix as and/or will it break-down more frequently than the traditional, TX-series London cabs? It's a newer vehicle, which means it must be more complicated, which means it should be more expensive to fix. No?

These auction estimates, if true, seem criminal.

Guess what? SUVs have a propensity to tip! OMG!!!

I know you've had some time in an E30 M3, but I don't know if you've had any time in the Toyota/Subaru GT-86/BRZ. When I look at the two on paper, they seem very similar: RWD, coupe, ~2800 LBS, ~200 HP, 4 cylinder, normally-aspirated. Have you had some time in both that would allow you to draw a comparison between…

The E36 was also at least 400 pounds heavier

"It'll be a V12!! Wait, no, we'll use a turbo-charged V6..."

Except it's not $30k, it's $26k.

In the colder parts of the Great Lakes, many people just power through (or, rather, over) the melted bits during the later parts of winter (or, early parts of spring, depending how north you are).

I had a buddy with some power steering problems. Twice, he took it to one of those chain shops whose mechanics proceeded to MEND the power steering hose. My buddy doesn't know a whole lot about cars, but it doesn't take much to realize the shops were just mending the existing hose so they could up-charge on the…

"We have about 23 theories as to what this car is."

"...but BMW is planning to pitch it as cheaper to buy and operate than a Mini."

"...spend light years discussing slip angles and cornering forces..."

I bought it because it was practical, cheap (to buy and fix), durable, simple, RWD, and had tons of space, torque, attitude, and a good color. And because it had 76,000 miles at the time. See, there's lots of responsible and fanciful reasons for the purchase!

Any GM B-body. They're used the world-over, and are especially popular in the middle east. They're incredibly durable, having been used as taxi cabs and cop cars. They're pretty cheap to fix, and it's not uncommon to see them rack-up 300,000 miles or more.

Well, if you want to highlight driver skill above all else, it would have to be a Formula or spec series of some sort. I'd offer Spec Miata as a good candidate for the summer games because its low cost means that more talented, younger drivers (having backgrounds with which spectators can identify) might have the…

First of all, this isn't even a four-way stop: it's an all-way stop at a T-intersection. Second of all, stop-signs are stupid in most situations. No officer, coming to a complete stop every single time is not going to save anyone's life. Paying attention to what's going around you and who has the right-of-way is…
