I saw one of these in-person for the first time the other night. It was a V8 S model, too. Man, did that thing sound amazing. It's too bad you can't have it with a proper manual transmission.

Who is this "Montoya" you speak of?

Are those legitimate air horns? They sound great, but I don't think I could pull them off in the midwest where it gets super cold.

Here are some hacks of my own:

I tried to fund a short clip, but the only one was a little crap. Thanks for linking that one - much better!

Alfa Romeo's 33 Stradale used a 2.0L V8. While I haven't watched the Petrolicious video above yet, I don't see how it could sound any better than the 33 Stradale.

MAX-5, Germany. They had something like 600 Miatas there - broke the world record. I'm honestly surprised that the record isn't a LOT higher than that.

Only 339? That's cute...

Lol, that's funny - mine has 37K too! Although, I just bought it as a DD, so that won't last long :(

Well, I'm one of them :)

Okay, so it's a California car - which means no rust - and that's worth a lot to a mid-westerner like me. Plus, in the movie, the paint on that car looked like it was in FANTASTIC condition (then again, they probably refined everything post-production). Having said that, the wheels are a little too much for me - but…

Water weighs 8.34 lbs. per gallon. That means these guys filled their car with at least 4,170 lbs. of water. That's insane - I'm amazed the chassis didn't just snap in two.

It's a terrible plate! That blue-to-white gradient makes it hard to read anything on it, and the plate uses like three different fonts. Just because modern printing/inking technology allows you to make intricate designs doesn't mean you should. We should all go back to classic, single-color plates.

Funny story:

This is an awesome little truck - no doubt about that. But I don't see ANYWHERE near $7,000 here. It would be great to get this on the cheap and swap-in a modern Suzuki motorcycle engine.

Google's "My Tracks" is pretty sweet. Navigation apps might help you with where you're going, but "My Tracks" shows you where you've been. In my mind, that's all just one step closer to making this a reality:

I had a Roadmaster for a couple years - freaking loved that car. But God, 11 MPG on a GOOD WEEK was quickly getting old. Surprisingly, the trunk isn't really that big. Honestly, I think that the trunk in my (current) Miata is as high (albeit not as commodious) as the one in my Roadmaster was. It was like a foot…

I had the weirdest dream involving Elon Musk a few weeks ago, but it took me until now to realize that it involved this "hyperloop." Here goes:
