Your son is lucky! I just learned how to drive a manual a few weeks ago. I'm 22, and I spent the first six years of my driving life on an automatic - it's time I'll never get back! We never had a car with a manual transmission when I was of driving age, so learning was never an option. That's why I bought an NA…

I have a confession to make: I just started driving manual three weeks ago when I picked-up my NA Miata. I can't believe I drove an automatic for the first six years of my driving life - it's time I'll never get back! We never had a manual-transmission car at home, so it was really impossible for me to actually…

This is certainly true. However, I think it just makes you more aware of what's really going on.

I have found the cure for distracted driving. It also costs less than the majority of current vehicle technology deployed.

It would have to be an available engine, not a standard engine, and certainly not the only engine available. The Miata sold so well because it was a no-frills sports car. A lot of the people who bought Miatas were purists (or, at least, conservative with respect to their taste in cars). Hence, the commitment to the…

"That's a crap-load of money for a busted car that can be outperformed by a Diesel Jetta Sportwagen."

If this is the real McCoy, I can imagine this will be one hell of a collector's car in about 20 years. Unfortunately, since this is really an enthusiast's car (and not a collector's car), I think I'd rather have a coupe. An additional 400 pounds for the convertible? Are you kidding me? That's ridiculous. I'd…

That is absolutely hilarious. Here we have some of the most intelligent, careful people. Then they come back to Earth and forget about gravity and all of its implications. It makes them seem a little more like regular people in that respect.

If you told me yesterday that Audi could make a production car with two seats, some amenities, and AWD that weighed around 2,500, I'd have laughed in your face.

I really wonder how much that one would fetch if it went through an auction. I bet it would go above $100,000. Say, $120,000. If only...

It's Sean Connery in a Hummer H1. There's just no stopping that, I'm sorry, there just isn't.

That was going to be my go-to response. If this doesn't make the top five, I'll have a serious sad-face.

Oh, sweet, it runs by Mississippi Palasades State Park! I used to love going up there when I was in Boy Scouts, okay, this is definitely on my "must do list" now!

Thanks for pointing this-out! I've been looking for good driving roads in the area. I'm from the Quad Cities, and I figured most of the better roads were up there, towards the Dubuque, and up in southwest Wisconsin. Thanks, now I'll have to get my Miata up there!

How can the answer be anything but "Miata!?" I'm sure there are other ones out there, but I have to say from experience that Miata should definitely be on this list (as always).

Is this like the automotive equivalent of Rule 34?

It's from Breaking Bad. Walt Jr., the character, has an obsession with breakfast. You need to watch the show to understand, but I think a lot of the fans blow it out of proportion as well.

This GIF reminds me of Beck's "E-Pro" too much...

Walter Jr. is really psyched about your "bran find." In fact, he'd like to make sure it involves Raisin Bran Crunch as opposed to Raisin Bran.

There are two ways to go about this. No. 1: The larch..I mean, a way to get somewhere with little effort and in a lot of comfort, just like ranwhenparked said. For that, I imagine the go-to S-class would fit the bill very nicely.
