Oh man. That was amazing, but you just know there’s going to be some hell to pay for that stunt. The silt getting into all of the joints and crevices alone is cause enough for me to feel sorry for that tough old beast. But again, amazing.

I was meaning the Mustang, but I could just as well have been saying it about the P-40. Visually, I love the Mustang — the lower air intake just allows the rest of the lines to be that much smoother, I guess.

My family two (2) omnis when I was growing up. The lower powered version of this little baby, first in brown, and then in a maroon/red shade, took me everywhere I needed to go as a elementary school kid. Let me say — it may look the same size as a GTI, but this thing can fit a ton (thanks, no doubt, to virtually no…

I never tire of seeing that plane. It’s like seeing an original 911. It of course has no way of competing with today’s technology, but somehow it still looks every bit as awesome and badass as it was the day it was made.

Ohhhhoh Simba, you are my, little, gentlemen.... I will take you down to foggy London Town, SIMBA!!!

That picture is awesome. This is what happens when you take basically the entire world’s young men between late teens and early twenties and make them operate dangerous machinery for a living. “What if I ride on the wing of your fighter plane while you taxi along a bumpy dirt path? I don’t know — let’s see! Hell, yes!…

Yup! Exactly what I came here to say! All we needed was someone in that truck spilling something on himself, and then saying “Dammit. That’s twice! I want some butts!”

That is one hell of a misbehaving car there. I get pissed when mine (an e92) occasionally decides that it’s adaptive headlights are broken (when they aren’t) or takes a long time for the in-car computer to fully boot up. But a car that just cuts out when you’re driving and then self-destructs? That’s a problem child…

You had me until you said “you have to make do with front-wheel drive.” Not sure why every company can make an SUV, but only the luxury brands can figure out how to market an AWD sedan or wagon.

I totally agree with your sentiment that making an actual self-driving car would be a better demonstration, and that this is a sad indictment of how the car industry is increasingly moving away from performance (i.e., away from the Z) and toward more electrical gimmicks (i.e., self-driving, self-parking, infotainment…

I must say, you’re not ruining my fantasy at all. I can’t help myself, I just love that car despite the flaws. But even setting that aside, given that you’ve now shown me that for $3800, I can have peace of mind for the first year, I’m daily fighting off the urge to drop by the dealership myself. Good thing I don’t…

You made one error in your question. It doesn’t go 0-62 in 3.4 seconds. It goes 0-62 in nobody asked. Because it’s a damned $300k GTI.

You nailed it!

My soul just can’t take this car. It’s like watching a rock-star get practical in his old age, or something. Whatever it is, it makes me sad — like seeing Lambo and Porsche making SUVs.

That and the numbnuts was wrong about his horsepower. Early 2000's Tahoes were all less than 300 hp. But who’s counting (seriously, other than that jackass).

Actually, I know someone who had an 80's and early 90's 911, and then bought a 993 in (I think) 1998 right after he had traded up to 996 and didn’t like it. He still has the 993. He said that because Porsches were still gaining in popularity (in the U.S.) during the 80's and early 90's, he was able to sell each of…

I did! My thought exactly — wow, all of the flat-6 S’s and GTS’s (and the seven other flavors I’m forgetting) are all getting cheaper! Excellent, because I could definitely be fine with that level of power, and I don’t care a wit about whether it can be tuned another 50 hp more.

I like its lines, but those headlights just ruin it for me. I don’t find it quite as bad when the car is in black, and not as much when viewed head-on, but when the car is in white and I see it from the side, they just look wrong — like something is dripping out of the car’s eyes, or like the designer’s hand slipped…

This is such a tricky question. My brother had really talked up his snow tires and how amazing they were. I got them for my Jetta back when I had it, and despite a lot of deliberate testing, I couldn’t find anything they did noticeably better (on that car) than my all-seasons had done. He had used winters on his…

It’s amazing. I read the whole article, and watched the whole video, and the only thing I was thinking the entire time was “damn that is one beautiful car.”
